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. A key consideration is that the standard felt option requires an upgrade for enhanced weather protection.

The internal dimensions of the Harwood Log Cabin are approximately 1.74m deep x 2.74m wide.
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.
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.
When fitted correctly, the polyester felt has a life expectancy of up to 15 years due to its tear resistance.
Deliveries are made by vehicles equipped with a crane off-load facility.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid blocking the doors or windows completely for extended periods. Consider a small ventilation grille if the issue persists.
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.
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.
