Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the roof covering included?

No, roof felt or shingles are not included in the standard kit and should be purchased separately based on your local climate requirements.

How many people are needed for assembly?

We recommend at least two capable adults to handle the log sections and roof installation safely.

Can this be used as a home office?

Yes, its design is specifically popular for home offices, though you may need to add insulation depending on your local climate and usage requirements.

Does it come with a floor?

Yes, the kit includes floorboards and matching skirting to complete the interior.

What is the benefit of the impregnated base frame?

The impregnated frame is treated to resist rot and decay, creating a protective barrier between your foundation and the wooden walls of the cabin.

Are the tools included?

The kit includes all hardware such as nails and screws, but you will need standard hand tools such as a hammer, drill, level, and ladder to complete the assembly.

Troubleshooting

Doors or windows are sticking

Check if the base is perfectly level. If the base has shifted, the door frame may be distorted, requiring minor adjustments to the hinges.

Logs appear slightly gapped

Timber expands and contracts with humidity. Ensure the building is properly treated and allow the wood to acclimatize before performing any heavy modification.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive kit includes all necessary screws and mounting hardware
  • Sturdy impregnated base frame protects against ground-level moisture
  • Distinctive arched design offers a high-end visual appeal
  • Versatile layout suitable for multiple uses like offices or lounges
  • Floorboards and internal skirting included for a professional finish

Cons

  • Roof shingles and felt must be purchased separately
  • Requires significant assembly time for those without experience
  • Swedish Red color may require specific matching paint for future repairs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires at least two people due to the weight of the logs. Begin by ensuring your site is perfectly level, as any slope will cause the logs to misalign, making doors and windows difficult to hang. Use the provided instructions to organize components; ensure all hardware is accounted for before starting the frame. For care, it is vital to apply a high-quality timber preservative to any unfinished surfaces to maintain the integrity of the wood. Since roof covering is not included, ensure you install felt or shingles immediately after the roof boards are laid to prevent water ingress. Check all screws after the first season of use, as natural timber movement may require occasional tightening.
