FAQs

What is the lifespan of the roof felt?

The polyester felt options, especially when used with underlay, have a life expectancy of up to 20-30 years when fitted correctly. Felt shingles also offer long-term durability.

Can I use this log cabin all year round?

Yes, the double glazing and 45mm thick logs provide good insulation. However, for optimal comfort in very cold or hot weather, consider adding insulation to the floor and roof, and ensure adequate ventilation.

Does the log cabin come painted?

No, the Forest Garden Rushock Log Cabin is supplied untreated and unpainted. You will need to apply a suitable exterior wood preservative and finish immediately after assembly.

What kind of base is required?

The cabin must be built on a solid and level surface. A poured concrete base is strongly recommended for stability and to prevent ground contact issues.

How many windows does it have?

The cabin features four tilt and turn windows: two on the front and two on the sides (one on each side).

What are the internal dimensions?

The internal floor dimensions are approximately 4.7m wide x 3.7m deep.

Is assembly included?

The log cabin is supplied for self-assembly, but an optional professional assembly service is available.

Troubleshooting

Log cabin is not level

Ensure the base is properly prepared and leveled before assembly. If minor leveling is needed after assembly, shims can be used under the base frame, but significant unevenness may require adjusting the base.

Gaps between logs

Small gaps can sometimes occur due to timber movement. Ensure logs are firmly seated. If gaps persist and are significant, a suitable exterior-grade sealant can be used.

Water ingress through roof

Verify that the chosen roofing material has been installed correctly according to manufacturer instructions. Ensure underlay is used if specified. Check for any damage to the felt or shingles and repair or replace as necessary.

Condensation on windows

Double glazing typically minimizes condensation. Ensure windows are properly sealed. Good ventilation within the cabin, by opening windows periodically, can also help reduce internal moisture.

Wood treatment peeling or fading

This indicates the need for re-treatment. Clean the surface, ensure it is dry, and reapply a quality exterior wood preservative and finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Base Preparation: The log cabin *must* be built on a solid and level foundation. A poured concrete base is recommended for stability and longevity.
  2. Assembly: The cabin is supplied flat-packed. While assembly instructions are provided, an optional professional assembly service is available for convenience.
  3. Treatment: As the cabin is supplied untreated and unpainted, it is crucial to apply a suitable wood preservative and exterior paint or stain immediately after assembly to protect against weather and UV damage.

Compatibility:

  • Roofing Options: Choose from various roof felt options, including polyester felt (24kg or 34kg) with or without underlay, or felt shingles with underlay, to suit your preference and budget.
  • Ground Type: Requires a consistently level and stable ground surface for installation.

Care:

  • Regular Inspection: Periodically check the timber for any signs of wear, rot, or insect infestation.
  • Re-treatment: Reapply wood preservative, paint, or stain every 2-3 years, or as needed, to maintain protection.
  • Guttering: Consider installing guttering to direct rainwater away from the base and prevent waterlogging.
  • Cleaning: Clean windows and doors with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Keep the roof clear of debris.
