The fi rst good plan
A perfectly planned terrace requires extensive information. Using the
megawood

terrace planner, you can save, print or email a precise plan of
your terrace project and use this as a basis for detailed consultation from
your specialized wood retailer.
You start by representing the layout of your home and of other relevant
structures. The second step is to place your megawood
®
dream terrace on
your home and decide for the type of megawood
®
boards and the colour and
specify the desired installation type and deck structure. This way, various
ideas for your dream terrace can be visualized fast and easily. With only a
few moves, you can now generate a complete material list for your new
megawood
®
terrace. The dra s are the basis for further consultation with
you specialized wood retailer and are used for cost calculation.
The integrated dealer search on our web site helps you to fi nd a provider
near you comfortably and easily. Enjoy successful planning!

• According to the principles of constructive wood protection
we recommend that boards should always be installed with
sufficient sloping so that water is moved safely away from the
house. Observing this, you can avoid water stains and dammed-up
water as well as further damage to the building.
• Ensure that the surface below is firm, solid and frost-safe.
Caution! Avoid dammed-up water!
• Avoid contact of the megawood
®
barefoot boards and of the
construction planks with the ground! The megawood
®
construction plank is an exception.
• Do not fill out hollow spaces between substructure and bed
plates, so that exchange between warm and cold air is not
prevented. Maintaining specified distances will ensure sufficient
ventilation from below and water is not dammed-up.
• Ensure that drainage is sufficiently dimensioned. Avoid
dammed-up water and ensure full drainage even in case of
torrential rain.
• Keep a minimum distance of 2 cm to fixed components
(e.g. house wall).
• Maintain the specified distances of the construction planks.
• Maintain the specified minimum distances of the expansion
joints so that the structure may expand without resistance if
necessary.
• As a rule, pre-drill all holes.
• Observe installation direction as indicated by the printed arrow
on the packaging label and in the board joint.
• megawood
®
is a natural material. Deviations in colour and
diff erent hues are a natural result. In addition, they emphasize
the natural appearance of wood. Therefore the boards should
be mixed before they are installed.
• The maximum board distance above the substructure is 5 cm.
• All cutting edges of the barefoot boards should be bevelled
(ca. 3 × 3 mm).
• Do not twist, belt down or force megawood
®
barefoot boards.
• All installation variants are based on the megawood
®
construc-
tion manual, because in case of deviations and defects caused
as a result are not subject to warranty.
• Applications that require approval by the construction authorities
must be set up on a sufficiently dimensioned, stable and fall-
through proof construction plank as support for megawood
®
barefoot boards or on construction planks.
• Production- related measuring tolerances for length, width and
thickness must be taken into account for installation.
• When calculating the number of boards, please use the
following rule of thumb: From the edge of the construction plank
you need 12 mm distance to the first board, then add 153 mm
per board to account for the joints (for 145 mm boards) and
250 mm (for 242 mm boards).
Planning and processing of megawood
®
Installation direction
To achieve a homogenous surface eff ect, install all boards in the
same installation direction. This is indicated by an arrow in every
board joint and on the packaging label. This way you will prevent
the so-called “lawnmower eff ect”.
