FAQs

What is the recommended base for the log cabin?

A level and solid foundation is recommended, such as concrete slabs, a concrete pad, or a timber frame base. This ensures stability and longevity of the structure.

Does the cabin come painted or treated?

No, the cabin is supplied untreated. It requires immediate application of a suitable wood preservative after assembly to protect the timber.

What are the exact external dimensions?

The overall external dimensions are approximately H 250 x W 220 x D 320cm. Note that these are to the edge of the boards and may include log crossovers. Allow for roof overhang and access.

What is the guarantee period?

Shire offers a 1-year guarantee from delivery, plus an additional 10-year rot resistance guarantee. Both require compliance with assembly, usage, and regular preservative treatment guidelines.

Can I use this cabin all year round?

The cabin can be used year-round, but for consistent comfort, especially in colder months, consider insulation and a heater. Proper sealing and ventilation are key to managing internal climate.

Are there delivery restrictions?

Yes, Shire is unable to deliver to certain postal codes including AB, BT, DD, FK, GY, HS, IM, IV, JE, KW, KY, LL, PA19 and above, all PH postcodes, PL, SA over SA19, SY over 15, TR, and ZE.

How is the cabin delivered?

Delivery is kerbside. Shire's drivers will endeavor to place the product as conveniently as possible, but it is at their discretion whether it is safe to drive onto your property.

Troubleshooting

Cabin feels damp or humid inside

Ensure the cabin is properly sealed. Check for any gaps in the logs or around windows/doors. Improve ventilation by opening the window and door regularly or consider adding vents if used frequently.

Wood shows signs of mold or rot

This indicates insufficient or overdue preservative treatment. Clean affected areas thoroughly, allow to dry completely, and reapply a suitable wood preservative. Ensure the surrounding area has good drainage.

Difficulty fitting logs during assembly

Check that previous logs are correctly seated. Ensure logs are dry; damp wood can swell. Gently tap logs into place with a rubber mallet if needed. Refer to assembly diagrams for correct orientation.

Leaking from roof or walls

Inspect the tongue and groove joints for any damage or gaps. Ensure any sealant used (if applicable) is intact. Check roof felt or covering (if installed separately) for damage. Re-seal joints if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Foundation: Ensure a level and stable base, such as concrete slabs or a prepared foundation, is in place before assembly.
  2. Assembly: The cabin is supplied as individual log lengths and requires step-by-step construction. Follow the manufacturer's assembly instructions carefully.
  3. Treatment: The timber is supplied untreated. It is essential to apply a high-quality wood preservative immediately after assembly to protect against rot and insect damage.

Compatibility:

  • Site Requirements: Requires a clear, level area for installation. Consider access for delivery and assembly.
  • Treatment Compatibility: Use a wood preservative specifically designed for outdoor timber structures. Ensure it is compatible with the pine logs.

Care:

  • Regular Treatment: Reapply wood preservative annually, or as recommended by the preservative manufacturer, to maintain protection.
  • Cleaning: Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation, especially if used as a confined space, to prevent condensation and moisture buildup.
