Elevation Instructions for all Cubby Models.  
  1. Place cubby on ground in its correct position.  Trace around all four corners.
  2. Remove floor.
  3. As the posts are to be positioned on the inside of the outside floor bearers you will need to measure in the following distances.
    • Front posts: 20mm in from front and 50mm in from side.
    • Side posts: 50mm in from side and in middle of front and back posts.
    • Back posts: 50mm in from side and flush with back edge of floor.
  4. Dig holes for posts (100mm x 100mm x 600mm deep).
  5. Insert posts, and concrete in.  You will need to ensure that the height of the posts are even, this can be done either:
    • before you concrete in by adjusting the depth of the hole, or by
    • cutting the top of the posts after they have been concreted in.
  6. Sit floor on top of posts.
    • Front posts should be hard up against side floor bearers and front piece of decking.
    • Side and rear posts should also be hard against side floor bearers.
  7. Using the Bugle Batten screws supplied, drill two screws in through the floor bearers into each post.
  8. Place cross bearers hard up against floor bearers and put two Bugle Batten screws into each post.  Bearers sit on back of front posts and on the front of middle and back posts.  (see diagram overleaf for position).
  9. Steps can now be attached to the front decking board.
  10. Proceed with building the cubby with additional instructions supplied.

Testimonial

The cubby is assembled and we are absolutely delighted with the result. The painting is just about complete and there's nothing like a good project.  We'll landscape around it with some roses and other lovely plants.
Both our girls are thrilled with it and so is the extended family.
The men enjoyed the process of putting it up, and it looks so good.
Thank you.  Please pass on our gratitude to the rest of the team at Design A Shed.
