FAQs

What is the required base for this log cabin?

A solid and level base is essential. A poured concrete base is highly recommended for optimal stability and longevity.

Can the side window be placed on either side?

Yes, the 3/4 length side window is designed to be positioned on either the left or right wall during assembly, offering flexibility in your cabin's layout.

What is the expected lifespan of the roof felt?

The included 34kg Polyester felt has a high tear resistance and, when fitted correctly, is expected to last between 20 to 30 years.

Does the cabin come with wood treatment included?

The product description does not specify if wood treatment is included. It is recommended to treat the timber annually with a suitable preservative for best results.

What are the overall external dimensions including the roof overhang?

The overall dimensions are approximately 5.24 meters wide by 3.36 meters deep, including the 36cm front roof overhang.

Is assembly a difficult process?

Assembly requires careful following of instructions and may benefit from two people due to the size and weight of components. A solid base is crucial before starting.

What type of glass is used in the windows and doors?

All windows and doors feature toughened glass and are double-glazed for improved insulation and safety.

Troubleshooting

Log walls not fitting snugly

Ensure the base is perfectly level. Minor adjustments can sometimes be made by gently tapping logs into place. Check for any debris in the grooves.

Condensation on windows

Open the tilt and turn windows slightly to improve air circulation. Ensure adequate ventilation within the cabin, especially if used frequently.

Roof feels are lifting or damaged

Inspect the felt and underlying boards for damage. Minor lifting can be re-secured with appropriate felt adhesive. Significant damage may require replacement of felt sections.

Door or window sticks when opening/closing

Check for any swelling of the timber due to moisture. Ensure the frame is square and plumb. Minor adjustments to hinges might be necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Spacious interior suitable for multiple uses.
  • Robust 45mm log construction for durability.
  • High-quality, long-lasting polyester roof felt.
  • Double glazing provides good insulation and reduces noise.
  • Flexible window placement and ventilation options.
  • Attractive, modern pent roof design.

Cons

  • Requires a solid, level base (e.g., concrete) which may incur additional costs.
  • Assembly can be time-consuming and may require two people.
  • Delivery is kerbside with crane off-load, requiring accessibility for large vehicles.
  • Treated timber may require ongoing maintenance to preserve its condition.
  • Roof felt options are available, but the base model comes with specific specifications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Site Preparation: Ensure a solid, level base is prepared. A poured concrete base is recommended for stability and to prevent ground contact with the timber.
  2. Foundation: Position the cabin directly onto the prepared base, ensuring it is square and level.
  3. Log Assembly: Interlocking logs should be carefully fitted together, layer by layer.
  4. Roof Installation: Assemble the tongue and groove roof boards and secure the felt.
  5. Window and Door Fitting: Install the pre-assembled double-glazed units.

Compatibility:

  • The cabin is designed to be placed on a prepared base. Ensure the base dimensions exceed the cabin's footprint slightly for adequate support.
  • The side window can be fitted to either the left or right wall during assembly, offering design flexibility.

Care:

  • Wood Treatment: For longevity, treat the timber annually with a suitable wood preservative and/or a water-based stain to protect against UV rays and moisture.
  • Roof Felt Maintenance: Periodically inspect the roof felt for any damage or lifting and make repairs as needed.
  • Guttering (Optional): Consider installing guttering to direct rainwater away from the base and walls, further protecting the timber.
