FAQs

Does the log cabin come pre-treated?

No, the Shire Spalding Log Cabin is supplied untreated and requires immediate treatment with a suitable wood preservative and sealant on all surfaces.

What is the warranty period?

The cabin comes with a 10-year anti-rot guarantee (subject to proper treatment) and a 12-month manufacturer's warranty.

Can I use this as a permanent dwelling?

This product is designed as a garden building and is not intended for use as a permanent dwelling. Please check local planning regulations.

How is the cabin delivered?

The cabin is delivered flat-packed with individual log boards and components, along with assembly instructions.

What type of treatment should I use?

Use a high-quality wood preservative and sealant suitable for outdoor timber structures. It is recommended to consult with your local timber treatment specialist for the best product for your climate.

Can I install electricity or insulation?

While not included, it is possible to install electrical wiring or insulation, but this should be done by qualified professionals and may affect warranties or require specific building considerations.

Troubleshooting

Log cabin not level

Ensure the base is perfectly level before assembly. If already assembled, you may need to carefully adjust or re-level the base.

Gaps between logs after assembly

Minor gaps can sometimes occur due to wood movement. Ensure logs are fully seated during assembly. These can often be sealed with appropriate wood filler or sealant after treatment.

Wood appears to be warping

Ensure the cabin is treated promptly and regularly, especially in areas with high humidity or extreme temperature fluctuations. Proper ventilation can also help.

Doors or windows are sticking

Check for any obstructions or damage. Wood can expand or contract; minor adjustments to hinges or planing may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Spalding Log Cabin is supplied as a flat-pack with clear assembly instructions. Assembly is typically length-by-length, building up from the floor. While straightforward for many DIY enthusiasts, professional installation is an option. Ensure you have a level base prepared before starting construction.

Compatibility: This log cabin is designed for outdoor garden use. It requires a suitable level base, such as concrete or paving slabs. Ensure local planning regulations are checked before installation.

Care: The cabin is supplied untreated. It is crucial to treat all surfaces, both inside and out, with a suitable wood preservative and sealant as soon as possible after assembly. This treatment is essential for activating the 10-year anti-rot guarantee. Reapply treatment periodically according to the manufacturer's recommendations for ongoing protection and to maintain its appearance.
