Further to the original instruction leaflet the
following advice is given.
At fourth step drill the bufferbeam supports before fitting the buffer beam
as follows. Drill 2 holes through the buffer beam from the top 4mm in from each end
centrally. The diameter should be a tight fit to the nails. This is to
ensure you don’t drill through the Base/Seat component. Check alignment
with the running board.
Real brick laying and roof building
Estimation
It is advisable that you carry out a proper estimation of the quantity of bricks required. You need to
divide each wall length by 9.25" per course and allow 3.25" per course in height. You will be surprised
at how many bricks you will need! Buildings are usually designed in brick length units. Where you have
doors and windows reduce the quantity of bricks accordingly. Good luck and have fun!
Outdoor use
If using outdoors where PVA is advised use exterior grade.
