FAQs
What tools are needed for assembly?
You will typically need a screwdriver and possibly a hammer. The instructions will list specific tools if needed.
How do I clean the cabin?
Use a mild soap and water solution to clean the surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Is the timber treated?
Yes, the timber is pressure-treated for durability and weather resistance.
Can I place the cabin directly on the ground?
Yes, but placing it on a slightly raised surface will help with airflow and reduce moisture contact.
Are replacement parts available?
Contact the manufacturer or retailer for replacement parts if needed.
How often should I re-treat the timber?
The timber is pre-treated but you may choose to re-treat it every few years, depending on the exposure to the elements.
How do the brakes on the wheels work?
The brakes are engaged by pressing down on the lever located on the wheel. This prevents the cabin from rolling.
Troubleshooting
Cabin feels unstable or wobbly after assembly.
Double-check that all screws and fixings are securely tightened. Ensure the cabin is placed on a level surface.
Water is leaking into the cabin.
Inspect the roof and cladding for any gaps or damage. Apply a waterproof sealant if necessary.
The wheels do not move smoothly.
Check the wheels for any obstructions and ensure the brakes are not engaged. Lubricate the wheels if needed.
