FAQs

What is the recommended base for the log cabin?

A level and solid base is essential. Options include concrete slabs, a paved area, or a dedicated concrete foundation. Ensure it is slightly larger than the cabin's footprint.

Does the cabin come painted or treated?

No, the cabin is supplied untreated. You must apply a wood preservative and exterior paint or stain immediately after assembly to protect the timber.

What are the exact external dimensions?

The dimensions are measured to the edge of the logs and include log crossover. For precise measurements, refer to the metric dimensions provided in the product manual or on the retailer's website.

Can the door and window be swapped?

Yes, the half-glazed door and the matching joinery window are designed to be interchangeable, offering flexibility in placement.

What is included in the fixings pack?

The pack typically includes all necessary screws, nails, and fixings required for assembly, along with mineral roof felt.

What maintenance is required?

Regular maintenance involves reapplying wood preservative and paint/stain every 1-2 years, checking for any damage, and ensuring good ventilation.

What is the warranty period?

The Shire Avesbury Log Cabin comes with a 1-year guarantee.

Troubleshooting

Log gaps after assembly

Minor gaps can occur due to timber movement. Ensure logs are tightly interlocked. If significant, consider using a flexible exterior sealant suitable for log cabins after treatment.

Water ingress through the roof

Check the mineral roof felt for tears or gaps. Ensure it is securely fixed and overlapped correctly. For enhanced protection, consider adding a layer of shingles or a more robust roofing membrane.

Difficulty interlocking logs

Ensure the base is perfectly level and the initial logs are placed correctly. Minor adjustments might be needed; a rubber mallet can sometimes help seat logs firmly.

Wood shows signs of swelling or warping

This can be due to moisture absorption. Ensure immediate and thorough treatment of all timber surfaces, inside and out. Proper ventilation can also help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This log cabin is a standalone structure. It is designed for outdoor garden use. Building regulations may apply depending on size and intended use; consult your local authority if unsure.

Care: The Avesbury Log Cabin is supplied untreated. It is crucial to treat all timber surfaces immediately upon assembly with a good quality wood preservative and exterior paint or stain.
