FAQs

What is the expected lifespan of the EPDM rubber roofing?

The EPDM rubber roofing system has a life expectancy of 50 years, offering excellent long-term protection.

Do I need planning permission for this log cabin?

All cabins in this range are designed to be under 2.5m to the ridge, which typically means they bypass most planning permission restrictions. However, it's always advisable to check local regulations.

What type of timber is used for the cabin walls?

The walls are constructed from 28mm thick, high-grade, responsibly sourced Scandinavian timber.

Is the cabin treated for weather protection?

The cabin includes a FREE 5L container of Protek Wood Preserver++. It is essential to treat the timber yourself upon assembly and periodically thereafter for full weather protection.

What are the dimensions of the cabin?

The external dimensions are approximately H:249.0 x W:379.0 x D:366.6 cm, corresponding to a 10ft x 12ft footprint.

How is the cabin delivered?

Delivery is kerbside on a 26t HIAB vehicle, which uses a crane positioned on the vehicle. You will be contacted in advance to arrange a delivery date.

What kind of security features are included?

The cabin features a 3-lever mortice lock on all doors and lockable stays on the windows, providing enhanced security.

Can this cabin be used as a habitable space?

While the double glazing and timber construction offer good insulation, the 28mm log walls may require additional insulation for comfortable year-round habitation. It is primarily designed for storage, office, or hobby use.

Troubleshooting

Cabin logs do not fit together tightly.

Ensure the logs are correctly oriented and that the tongue and groove are properly aligned. Check for any debris or damage to the grooves. The innovative notching system should aid a snug fit.

Water pooling on the roof or around the edges.

Verify that the gutter edge drip plate is correctly installed and free from obstructions. Ensure the cabin is sited on a level base.

Doors or windows are stiff to open or close.

Check for any obstructions or warping. Wood can expand and contract with humidity. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the hinges and locking mechanisms.

Difficulty with self-assembly.

Refer to the included instructions, installation videos, and contact Powersheds customer support via phone or email for guidance.

Wood appears to be weathering significantly.

Ensure the timber has been treated with a suitable wood preserver and reapply as per manufacturer instructions, typically annually or biannually depending on exposure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction with high-grade timber.
  • Enhanced security features for valuable contents.
  • Excellent insulation and weather resistance due to double glazing and EPDM roofing.
  • Designed to avoid common planning permission hurdles.
  • Aesthetically pleasing contemporary design.
  • Comprehensive support for self-assembly.

Cons

  • Requires self-assembly, which may be time-consuming or require assistance.
  • Delivered kerbside, requiring you to move components from the delivery point.

  • Floor and roof are 19mm tongue and groove, potentially less robust than thicker options.
  • The 28mm log thickness may be insufficient for heavily insulated living spaces without additional work.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This log cabin requires self-assembly. Ensure you have a firm, level base prepared before delivery. The kit includes fixings, instructions, and access to installation videos and telephone/email support. Due to its weight and size, it is recommended to have at least two people for assembly.

Compatibility: The cabin is designed for garden use. Ensure the chosen location provides adequate drainage. It is compatible with most standard garden landscaping.

Care: The cabin is supplied with a FREE 5L container of Protek Wood Preserver++. Apply this water-based, exterior wood preservative and primer to all timber surfaces as recommended by the manufacturer. Regular reapplication of a suitable wood treatment is essential to protect the timber from weathering and prolong its lifespan. Keep the EPDM roof clean from debris and check the gutter drip plate is clear to ensure efficient water runoff.
