Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The log cabin *must* be installed on a solid, level foundation. A poured concrete base is highly recommended to ensure stability and prevent warping. Professional assembly by Forest's accredited team is available as an optional service.
Compatibility: This cabin is designed as a standalone garden building. Ensure sufficient space is available, considering access for installation and ongoing maintenance. Check local planning regulations if you intend to use it as habitable accommodation.
Care: The cabin is supplied untreated and unpainted. It is crucial to apply a high-quality wood preservative and a suitable topcoat (paint or stain) to all exterior surfaces immediately after assembly to protect against rot, decay, and UV damage. Regular reapplication of preservatives and coatings, typically every 2-3 years, is necessary to maintain the timber's condition. Clean the windows with a mild detergent and water, and check the roofing felt periodically for any signs of damage.
