Do I need planning permission to install this log cabin?
Planning permission requirements vary by location. It is advisable to check with your local council regarding any regulations for garden buildings.
What is included in the kit?
The kit includes all wall logs, floor and roof boards, double door, three single windows, pressure-treated base beams, fixings, and assembly instructions. Roofing material is not included.
How long does assembly typically take?
Assembly time can vary depending on experience and the number of people. It typically requires at least two people and can take a full weekend or longer.
Can I add extra windows or change the door location?

Troubleshooting
Cabin logs do not fit together easily
Check for debris or damage on the log ends and grooves. Ensure you are using the correct logs for the current stage of assembly. Gently tap with a rubber mallet if necessary.
Gaps appearing between logs
This can sometimes occur with natural timber movement. Ensure all logs are fully seated. Once the roof is on and the structure settles, slight gaps can often be sealed with exterior-grade wood filler or sealant.
Door or windows are stiff to operate
Check that the frame is square and plumb. The wood may have swollen slightly due to moisture. Adjust hinges if possible or apply a silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts of the door and window mechanisms.
Water pooling around the base
This indicates an issue with drainage around the cabin. Ensure the ground slopes away from the base and that your prepared foundation is sound and does not collect water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Site Preparation: Ensure a level and solid base is prepared. This could be a concrete slab, paving slabs, or sturdy timber decking. The base must be larger than the cabin's footprint.
Base Assembly: Assemble the included pressure-treated base beams and floor bearers onto your prepared base.
Wall Construction: Erect the 44mm interlocking logs, starting from the base and working upwards. Ensure logs are seated correctly.
Window and Door Installation: Fit the double door and single windows into their designated openings as you build the walls.
Roof Construction: Install the 18mm tongue and grooved roof boards, ensuring a secure fit.
Roofing Material: Apply your chosen roofing material (felt, shingles, etc. - *not included*) according to manufacturer instructions.
Compatibility:
This cabin is designed as a standalone structure and does not require external power or plumbing connections for basic use.
Ensure sufficient space around the cabin for assembly and access.
Care:
Wood Treatment: The North European Spruce, while durable, benefits from regular treatment. Apply a quality wood preservative and/or stain to the exterior annually, especially after the first year, to protect against UV rays and moisture.
Cleaning: Clean windows and doors with a soft, damp cloth. The timber can be brushed down to remove cobwebs or light debris.
Roof Maintenance: Regularly check the applied roofing material for any signs of wear or damage and repair promptly to prevent leaks.
Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation, especially during periods of high humidity or when the cabin is closed for extended periods, to prevent condensation.
