The Forest Garden Rushock Apex Roof Double Glazed Log Cabin is designed for homeowners seeking a spacious and insulated extra room for various uses like a home office, gym, or leisure space. Its key benefit is the generous internal space combined with double glazing for all-weather comfort. A key consideration is the requirement for a solid, level base for installation and the fact that it is supplied untreated and unpainted, requiring further finishing.

A solid and level base is essential. A poured concrete base is the recommended foundation to ensure the stability and longevity of the cabin.
No, the log cabin is supplied untreated and unpainted. You will need to apply a suitable wood preservative and protective finish immediately after assembly.
While self-assembly is possible, it requires significant DIY skill. Professional installation by Forest's qualified fitting team is available as an optional service.
The internal floor dimensions are approximately 4.7 meters by 3.7 meters.
All windows and doors feature double glazing with toughened glass for safety and enhanced insulation.
Regularly inspect the timber and reapply wood preservative and topcoat every 2-3 years. Clean windows with mild soap and water. Check roofing felt for damage.
Yes, the timber used is FSC Certified, ensuring it comes from responsibly managed forests.
Ensure all logs are tightly interlocked. Check seals around windows and doors for gaps and reapply sealant if necessary. Ensure the base is perfectly level to prevent structural stress.
This can occur if the wood has not been adequately treated or if exposed to prolonged moisture. Apply a suitable wood preservative and ensure the building is well-ventilated. Check that the base remains level.
Ensure adequate ventilation by opening windows and doors regularly, especially during periods of high humidity. Check that the double glazing seals are intact.
Inspect the felt regularly. Small tears can be patched with specialized roof repair kits. If significant damage or lifting occurs, the felt may need to be replaced. Ensure the underlying boards are dry before repair.
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.
