FAQs
What type of timber is used for the Shire Bourne Log Cabin?
The cabin is crafted from high-quality Scandinavian timber, known for its strength and durability.
Does the log cabin come with a base?
No, a firm and level base such as a concrete slab or timber foundation needs to be prepared separately before assembly.
How long does assembly typically take?
Assembly time varies depending on experience and assistance, but clear instructions are provided to guide DIY assembly.
Is the storage area lockable?
Yes, the separate storage compartment features a lockable door for security.
Do I need to treat the wood?
Yes, it is recommended to treat the timber with a suitable wood preservative and sealant annually to protect it from the elements and ensure its longevity.
Can I use this cabin as a permanent dwelling?
This log cabin is designed as a garden building for storage, hobbies, or occasional use, not as a permanent dwelling.
What are the dimensions of the main room and storage area?
The product description provides overall dimensions (12x10 ft), but specific internal room breakdowns are not detailed here. The main room is spacious, with a separate, handy storage compartment.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty assembling panels
Ensure logs are oriented correctly and check for any obstructions. Refer to specific steps in the assembly manual and ensure you are using the correct fixings.
Leaking roof or walls
Inspect the roof felt and any sealant around joins or windows. Ensure tongue & groove joints are properly seated. Reapply sealant or felt if necessary.
Wood swelling or shrinking
This is natural for timber. Ensure adequate ventilation within the cabin. If swelling makes doors difficult to open, allow time for it to acclimatize or check for moisture sources.
Condensation inside the cabin
Increase ventilation by opening the window more frequently or consider adding a small vent. Ensure there are no persistent water leaks contributing to humidity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Bourne Log Cabin is designed for DIY assembly with clear instructions provided. It requires a firm, level base, such as a concrete slab or a properly prepared timber foundation. Ensure all parts are accounted for before starting. Assembly involves interlocking the logs and securing the roof and floor components.
Compatibility: This log cabin is a standalone garden building. It is compatible with standard garden environments. Ensure adequate space around the cabin for access and maintenance. Consider local building regulations if applicable.
Care: To maintain the longevity and appearance of the log cabin, regular care is essential. Clean the timber with a mild detergent and water. Apply a suitable wood preservative and sealant annually, or as recommended by Shire, to protect against rot, insect infestation, and weathering. Keep the area around the base clear of debris to ensure good airflow.
