Product Information
Full details
The Shire Camelot Log Cabin is an ideal choice for homeowners looking for a robust, high-quality garden building to serve as a workshop, storage shed, or personal retreat. Constructed from 19mm thick interlocking Northern European Pine, this building offers superior durability compared to standard panel sheds, though it requires significant effort to assemble as it is built log-by-log and demands immediate treatment with a wood preservative upon arrival.

FAQs
Does this building come with a floor?
Yes, a 12mm thick tongue and groove timber floor is included as standard.
Is the wood pre-treated?
No, the timber is supplied untreated. You must apply a wood preservative immediately after assembly.
How thick are the walls?
The walls are made of 19mm thick interlocking logs.
Is assembly difficult?
Because the building is made of individual logs rather than panels, it requires a moderate to high level of DIY skill and time to assemble.
What type of glass is used?
The cabin comes with 4mm toughened safety glass as standard.
Can I use this as a home office?
Yes, the robust construction makes it suitable for a home office, though you may want to add insulation depending on your local climate.
Troubleshooting
Logs do not fit together easily during assembly.
Ensure your base is perfectly level and square; use a rubber mallet to gently tap logs into place to avoid damaging the tongue and groove.
Door or window appears stiff or misaligned.
Adjust the hinges; because timber is a natural material, it may settle over the first few weeks, requiring minor hinge recalibration.
Water pooling on the roof.
Check that the roofing felt is applied correctly and verify that the base of the shed hasn't sunk, which could tilt the building out of alignment.

- Joinery-standard window provides excellent ventilation and aesthetics.
- Full-length piano hinge on the door adds a layer of security.

Cons

- Assembly is labor-intensive as it involves individual logs rather than pre-made panels.
- The building is delivered untreated, requiring a time investment in finishing.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper installation begins with a level, solid base, such as concrete or paved slabs. Because the building is supplied as individual log lengths, you should allocate sufficient time for a methodical, step-by-step assembly.
Crucial Maintenance Steps:
- Immediate Treatment: Apply a high-quality wood preservative to both the interior and exterior immediately after assembly to protect against moisture and insects.
- Roofing: Ensure the mineral felt is installed tightly to prevent leaks at the joints.
- Seasonal Checks: As natural timber expands and contracts, periodically check that the interlocking logs remain seated correctly and adjust the window/door hinges if necessary.
- Storage: Keep the wood dry and off the ground before assembly if you cannot build it immediately.
