Full details

The Forest Garden Harwood Log Cabin is designed for individuals with limited garden space seeking a versatile outdoor structure. Its primary benefit is maximizing usability within a compact footprint, offering a flexible 4.8 sqm interior for home offices, hobby rooms, or garden retreats.

FAQs

What are the exact internal dimensions?

The internal dimensions of the Harwood Log Cabin are approximately 1.74m deep x 2.74m wide.

What type of felt is included, and is it sufficient?

The standard package includes high-quality tear-resistant polyester felt (24kg per 10m). While durable, an upgrade to the polyester felt with underlay is recommended for superior weather protection.

Can this log cabin be used as a permanent dwelling?

No, this log cabin is designed as a garden building and is not suitable for permanent residential use. It requires a solid base but is not a permanent structure in the legal sense for dwelling.

What is the lifespan of the felt roof?

When fitted correctly, the polyester felt has a life expectancy of up to 15 years due to its tear resistance.

How is the log cabin delivered?

Deliveries are made by vehicles equipped with a crane off-load facility.

What maintenance is required for the timber?

Regular treatment with a wood preservative and/or stain is recommended every 1-2 years to protect against weather and UV damage. Keeping the base clear of debris is also important.

Is assembly difficult?

Assembly requires careful attention to instructions and is best undertaken by two people due to the size and weight of components. Pre-drilled holes and interlocking systems simplify the process.

Troubleshooting

Log cabin appears unstable

Ensure the base is perfectly level and solid. Check that all logs are securely interlocked and that the roof and floor boards are firmly fixed.

Water ingress through the roof

Verify the felt is correctly installed and covers the entire roof area with adequate overlap. Consider upgrading to the felt with underlay option for enhanced waterproofing, or re-seal any potential gaps.

Condensation inside the cabin

Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid blocking the doors or windows completely for extended periods. Consider a small ventilation grille if the issue persists.

Timber showing signs of warping or swelling

This can occur due to changes in humidity. Ensure the timber has been treated with a preservative and/or stain. Proper site drainage and avoiding direct contact with the ground are crucial.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Space-saving design perfect for smaller gardens.
  • Provides ample usable internal space for its footprint.
  • Modern aesthetic with the pent roof design.
  • Robust construction with interlocking logs and T&G boards.
  • Tear-resistant polyester felt offers good longevity.

Cons

  • Standard felt option may benefit from an underlay upgrade for superior weather protection.
  • Requires a solid, level base for installation.
  • Window glazing is single-glazed, which may affect insulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Harwood Log Cabin must be erected on a solid and level base. A poured concrete base is highly recommended to ensure stability and longevity. Ensure all components are present before starting assembly and follow the provided instructions meticulously. Assembly typically requires two people.

Compatibility: This model is designed as a standalone garden building. It is compatible with various optional accessories such as additional weatherproofing treatments, shelving, and lighting, provided they do not compromise the structural integrity or ventilation.

Care: Regularly inspect the timber for any signs of damage or wear. Treat the exterior timber with a suitable wood preservative and/or stain every 1-2 years to protect it from UV rays and moisture. Keep the area around the base clear of debris to ensure proper drainage. Clean windows with a soft, damp cloth. Check the felt roof periodically for any tears or damage, and ensure it is securely attached.
