Full details

The Shire Marlborough Log Cabin is ideal for those seeking a versatile and attractive outdoor space, offering the charm of a summerhouse with the robustness of a log cabin. Its key benefit is the 28mm thick interlocking logs and draught-proof joinery, providing a cozy environment, though it requires immediate treatment upon installation as it's delivered untreated. This UK-made building features a glazed front for natural light, a roof canopy for shade, and a storm-resistant design with tongued and grooved roofing and flooring.

FAQs

What is the actual size of the cabin?

The model is advertised as 8 x 10 Feet. The exact metric dimensions are provided in the product details, as imperial dimensions are approximate.

Does the cabin come treated?

No, the log cabin is delivered untreated. It requires painting or staining immediately after installation to protect the wood.

What kind of base do I need?

You will need a base that is flat and level, and of a sufficient size. Grass, soil, or gravel are not suitable as they can move. A concrete or paved base is recommended.

Is assembly included?

The cabin is supplied with fixings and assembly instructions for self-assembly. An assembly service may be available as an add-on, which will extend the lead times.

What is the warranty period?

Warranty information is not detailed in the provided product description. Please refer to the retailer's specific warranty policy for this product.

What type of glass is used in the windows?

The cabin comes with 4mm toughened glass as standard.

Can I get planning permission for this cabin?

The building is designed with a planning-friendly ridge height of a maximum of 2.5 meters, which often helps in avoiding the need for planning permission, but it is advisable to check with your local authority.

Troubleshooting

Log cabin feels damp or humid inside.

Ensure all vents are clear and open, especially if assembly has recently occurred. Check for any gaps in the log construction and seal them. Proper ventilation is key; consider adding more vents if necessary for your climate and usage.

Wood appears to be warping or splitting.

This can occur during the initial acclimatization period or if the wood is exposed to extreme moisture fluctuations without adequate protection. Ensure the exterior is treated with a good quality preservative stain or paint. If splitting is minor, it may not affect structural integrity, but significant warping or splitting should be addressed with the manufacturer.

Difficulty in fitting logs together.

Ensure you are assembling in the correct order and that the previous logs are correctly seated. Check for any debris in the grooves. If logs are slightly swollen due to moisture, allow them time to dry slightly in a sheltered environment before attempting assembly.

Door or window is stiff to open or close.

This can be due to the natural expansion and contraction of timber. Check for obstructions or swelling. Lightly sanding the edges or applying a wax-based lubricant to the runners or hinges can often resolve this.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Base Preparation: Before assembly, ensure you have a flat and level base that is the correct size for the cabin. Grass, soil, or gravel are not suitable as they can shift under the building's weight. A concrete slab or paved area is recommended.
  2. Assembly: The log cabin is supplied as individual log boards. Assemble the cabin length by length, starting from the floor. All necessary fixings and assembly instructions are included. Allow for roof overhang and access around the outside during construction.
  3. Treatment: The building is delivered untreated. It is crucial to paint or stain the exterior immediately following installation to protect the timber from weathering and decay.

Compatibility:

  • The cabin is manufactured from northern European pine, approved for quality.
  • The roof and floor are constructed with tongued and grooved timber.
  • Floor bearers are pressure treated for enhanced longevity.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect the exterior for any signs of damage or wear.
  • Reapply paint or stain every 1-3 years, depending on exposure, to maintain protection.
  • Keep the area around the base clear of debris and vegetation to ensure good airflow and prevent moisture buildup.
  • Check and clean any debris from the roof to maintain its condition.
