Getting the parts ready…

All 10 steps, in writing.

42 parts, 186 screws, under five hours. The instructions and all the tools are included.

  1. Step 1

    Prepare the roof

    • Lay the roof flat. Screw the two fans into their openings, with their covers: one shim under each screw.
    • Screw the transformer in its place. Its wires are already connected: leave them.
    • Join the plugs by their numbers. This is the trickiest part: take your time.

    One fan goes sticker up, the other sticker down. The air comes out on the sticker side. Don't unwrap the taped wires.

    • 8 × Shims

      One under the head of each M4×45 screw.

    • 8 × M4×45 wood

      Through each fan and its cover: 4 per fan. (Phillips screwdriver)

    • 2 × M4×10 wood

      Through the transformer. (Phillips screwdriver)

  2. Step 2

    Stand up the frame

    • Stand the four pillars on the base: hex socket screws first, countersunk screws next.
    • With help, lower the frame slowly onto its side, on the mats, then fasten the roof to the ends of the pillars with the countersunk screws.
    • Stand the frame back up and screw down the bottom board.

    The pillar with the keyhole goes on the left side of the door. Stick the adhesive strips on the four corners.

    • 8 × M6×16 hex socket

      At the foot of each pillar: 2 per pillar. (Hex key)

    • 16 × M4×8 countersunk

      At the foot of each pillar: 4 per pillar. (Phillips screwdriver)

    • 16 × M4×8 countersunk

      At the top of each pillar, into the roof: 4 per pillar. (Phillips screwdriver)

    • 9 × M4×20 flat head

      Through the bottom board into the metal frame. (Phillips screwdriver)

  3. Step 3

    Fit the left wall

    • Slide the left outer wall into its slot, press it against the frame and screw it on.
    • 12 × M4×20 flat head

      All around the left wall, from the inside, into the aluminium frame. (Phillips screwdriver)

  4. Step 4

    Fit the right wall

    • Slide the right wall into its slot and screw it on, feeding the wire through the hole at the top.
    • From the inside, push the power box out through its opening, then screw it on from the outside.
    • 16 × M4×20 flat head

      All around the right wall, from the inside, into the aluminium frame. (Phillips screwdriver)

    • 4 × M4×10 wood

      From the outside, at the four corners of the power box. (Phillips screwdriver)

  5. Step 5

    Fit the inside

    • The switch, the socket and the network port arrive already wired. Take off their covers with a flat screwdriver.
    • Screw on the left and right inner boards. On the right, first push each socket through its opening.
    • Nail the acoustic felt on both sides with the nail gun, held flat, then fix the sockets to their support and put their covers back on.
    • Screw the air filter into its slot.
    • 16 × M4×20 flat head

      All around the left inner board. (Phillips screwdriver)

    • 16 × M4×20 flat head

      All around the right inner board. (Phillips screwdriver)

    • 2 × M4×25 wood

      Through the air filter: top and bottom. (Phillips screwdriver)

  6. Step 6

    Fit the rear glass

    • Bring the panes into the pod. Everything goes in from the inside.
    • Set glass A in place, put the rubber strip on the joint, then set glass B in place. Close the gap with the suction cup.
    • Hold them with the two short retainers, top and bottom, pressing each one against the glass while you screw it. Printed sides face in. The long retainers come at the very end.

    The glass is tempered: wear gloves and lift it gently.

    • 8 × M4×8 flat head

      Through the top and bottom retainers, from the inside. (Phillips screwdriver)

  7. Step 7

    Fit the front glass

    • First screw the door pillar to the roof and the base with the M6×16 screws.
    • Then set the fixed glass in place, printed side facing in.
    • Hold it with its two short retainers, top and bottom, pressing each one against the glass while you screw it. The long retainers come at the very end.
    • 4 × M6×16 countersunk

      At both ends of the door pillar: 2 at the top, 2 at the bottom. (Phillips screwdriver)

    Hang the door

    • Screw on the two door retainers, top and bottom.
    • Mount the hinges on the glass, with the rough side of the rubber pads against it.
    • One person lifts the door slightly while the other screws it to the door pillar, printed side facing in.
    • Once the door is fixed, mount the handle, with the rough side of the rubber pads against the glass.

    • 6 × M5×10 countersunk

      Through the hinges into the pillar: 3 per hinge. (Phillips screwdriver)

    Connect the light and lay the carpet

    • Feed the light's wire through the hole in the ceiling and screw it on.
    • Put on the lampshade.
    • Lay the carpet and plug the power cord into the box.
    • 3 × M4×25 wood

      Through the light into the ceiling. (Phillips screwdriver)

  10. Step 10

    Fit the long retainers and the plugs

    • Last of all, once everything else is done. Press each retainer firmly in place while you screw it.
    • At the rear: the two long retainers, from the inside.
    • At the front: the three long retainers, two at the fixed glass and one on the door side.
    • Put the plugs on the retainers' screws.
    • Plug your Duo into a standard outlet and check the light, the fans and the lock. It's ready.
