For best results, buildings should be installed on a concrete base. However, we understand that this may not always be possible, and in such cases a decking sub-frame can be used, provided the following requirements are met.
All bases must:

• Have a tolerance of no more than 5mm across the entire building span
• Be flat, level, and square
• Be completely flat with no run-off (unlike a patio or driveway)
• Ideally be the exact size of the cabin base to prevent standing water tracking back underneath the building

There are two options available for the erection of our cabins.

Self-Build Option:
You may choose to erect the building yourself. Most sections are pre-cut, and comprehensive instructions are provided to guide you through the process, making it far less daunting than you might expect. A small selection of tools and additional items will be required to complete the build.
All cabins are supplied with full fitting instructions and detailed drawings to walk you through each stage of construction. Full cabin specifications and instructions can be found in the operating guide, shown in another tab under 'instructions'.

Professional Installation Option:
Alternatively, you can have your cabin fitted by one of our experienced installation teams for an additional cost, as highlighted above. Sit back and relax while our team erects the building from start to finish.
Please note that we do not prepare concrete bases or offer an in-house painting service currently, however, we can recommend trusted contractors for these services—simply speak to a member of our team in branch and they will be happy to provide contact details.
 

All our log cabins are constructed from kiln-dried, untreated whitewood, allowing you to decorate and finish the cabin to your personal taste. It is essential to treat your cabin inside and out as soon as it is installed to ensure the longevity of the timber.

Preservative:
Initially, the cabin should receive a thorough coat of high-quality preservative, both internally and externally. We provide recommendations on the best products to use [here].
Painting:
After preservation, apply at least two coats of high-quality paint. We recommend Sadolin Superdec for best results.

Tips for Optimal Results:

• Remove doors and windows, one at a time, including their frames, to treat the timber behind each frame and on the log ends.
• Pay extra attention to corners, joints, knots, and log ends.
• Internally, use a good quality wood stain or paint to seal the timber.
• Once painted, apply a bead of silicone to the bottom of each window and door glass.
• Apply silicone or caulk where the timber bearers meet the logs.

Proper care and treatment will protect your cabin from the elements and help maintain its appearance for years to come.

We require either full payment or a deposit to place your building on order. As nearly all of our cabins are produced to order and bespoke to your requirements, once production has begun the deposit is non-refundable. Payment can either be made by bacs or by card. Please note that amounts over £500 by card must be done via chip and pin at one of our branches for security purposes.
