Troubleshooting
Log panels do not fit together easily.
Ensure the correct panels are being used for the current stage of assembly. Check for any debris or obstructions in the grooves. Minor adjustments may be needed with a rubber mallet.
Water ingress through roof or walls.
Check that all tongue and groove joints are securely fitted. Ensure roof felt (if applicable) is correctly installed. Reapply wood treatment to all surfaces and seals.
Door or window is sticking or difficult to close.
Check that the cabin frame is level and square. Minor adjustments to hinges may be needed. Ensure the area around the door and window frames is clear of obstructions.
