Full details
The Shire Walsoken Log Cabin is designed for individuals seeking a versatile and durable outdoor structure for a home office, studio, or garden storage. Its key benefit is the dual-purpose design, offering both a main cabin area and an integrated storage zone.

FAQs
What type of wood is used for the Shire Walsoken?
The cabin is constructed from 19mm thick interlocking tongue-and-groove boards made from sustainably sourced, FSC certified timber.
Does the cabin come treated?
No, the cabin is supplied untreated. It is essential to apply a quality preservative immediately after installation to protect the wood and maintain the warranty.
Can I choose which side the storage area is on?
Yes, the integral storage zone can be positioned on either the right or left side during installation to suit your garden layout.
What are the dimensions of the main cabin area?
The product description does not specify separate dimensions for the main cabin and storage. It is a combined 10 x 17ft structure where the storage is integral.
Is professional installation available?
Yes, optional professional installation is available in many areas. Please check availability for your specific location.
How should I maintain the log cabin?
Regularly inspect the cabin for signs of wear. Reapply a quality wood preservative and/or stain every 1-3 years, depending on environmental conditions, to ensure the timber remains protected.
What is the warranty period?
The product information mentions Shire's over 40 years of experience in building quality structures, implying a standard manufacturer's warranty, but a specific duration is not provided in the given details. It is best to check with the retailer for exact warranty terms.
Troubleshooting
Log cabin panels do not fit together easily.
Ensure the base is perfectly level and that you are following the correct panel order as per the instructions. Check for any debris or damage on the tongue and groove edges.
Water ingress after installation.
Verify that all preservative treatments have been applied correctly and have fully cured. Check that roof boards and seals are properly fitted and consider applying a silicone sealant along key joints if necessary.
Door or window is stiff to operate.
Check for any obstructions or warping. Adjust hinges if necessary or apply a wood lubricant to the edges and moving parts.
Wood appears to be splitting or cracking.
Minor cracking can occur naturally as wood expands and contracts. Ensure the cabin is adequately treated with preservative. For significant splits, consult the manufacturer's guidelines.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Clear assembly instructions are provided, guiding users through the construction process. Ensure a level and solid foundation is prepared before starting assembly. For optimal results and to maintain structural integrity, it is recommended that two people undertake the installation. Optional professional installation services are available in many regions.
Compatibility: This log cabin is designed for outdoor garden use. It requires a stable, level base, such as concrete or paving slabs.
Care: The Shire Walsoken is supplied untreated. To protect the timber from weathering, rot, and insect attack, and to maintain the manufacturer's warranty, it is crucial to treat all surfaces with a suitable, high-quality wood preservative and/or stain immediately after installation. Regular reapplication of preservative, typically every 1-3 years depending on exposure and product used, is recommended to ensure long-term durability and appearance.
