How To Use The 3D Office Designer
Office Setup
Stop Office Rotation
If this option is ticked the 3D designer will stop spinning so you can get a better look at certain parts of the structure.
Custom
This control allows you to change the size of the office from outside of post to outside of post.
The minimum size is 2.5m x 3.5m and the maximum is 4m x 8m.
Thickness
The thickness allows you to decide ont he section size of the posts and headplates.
Doors
Position
You can choose to position the door on the left hand side, right hand side or in the middle of the front side.
Size
We offer two sizes of door, single and double. The single is 0.9m in size and the double is 1.8m.
Glazing Methods (Glazing Not Supplied)
Glazing
We offer two Glazing methods which are designed to allow you to install your own window glass easily.
You will have to source the glass as that is something we don't supply.
Boarding | Battens | Roofing
Boarding
If you don’t want to look up and see battens and the underside of your shingles you can choose to see Larch, Cedar or
Oak boarding instead.
Battens
You can choose between softwood and Oak fixing battens. The Oak battens are only normally used if they are seen.
Roofing
We can also provide cedar shingles (either treated or untreated). The treated are slightly darker in colour, although over
time both sets will fade to a silver grey colour.
Cladding and Studwork
External Cladding
We provide three external cladding species including European Oak, British Western Red Cedar and Canadian Western Red Cedar.
These are all excellent tuimbers for outside use, while we recommend treating our cladding, for the European oak it would be essential to
seal the timber.
Interior Cladding
For the internal cladding we only offer European Oak and Canadian Cedar. These are both stable timbers which wouldn't shrink too much from
the internal heating. We still recommend treating the cladding for extra protection.
Cladding Orientation
The cladding orientation defines the profiel of cladding we supply and how the studwork is mortise and tennond into the posts or wallplates.
Both the external and internal cladding must go the same way. If horizontal cladding is selected, we will supply the boards machined to OTS3
and if vertical is selected we will supply the boards to OTS5.
Floor Joists
Floor Joists
You can choose whether or not you'd like us to supply softwood floor joists.
These joists are what you would lay your flooring over the top of.
