FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Shire Walsoken Log Cabin?

Its primary benefit is its dual-purpose design, offering both a usable cabin space and integrated storage, making it highly versatile for gardens.

Does the cabin come treated?

No, the cabin is supplied untreated. All surfaces must be treated with a quality preservative immediately after installation to protect the wood and maintain the warranty.

Can I place the storage area on either side?

Yes, the storage zone can be configured to be on the right or left side during the installation process to best suit your garden layout.

What are the doors made of and do they lock?

The main cabin features a full-length glazed double door, and the storage zone has a single full-timber door. Both are secured with key locks.

What type of timber is used?

The cabin is constructed from sustainably sourced, FSC certified timber in the UK.

How thick are the wall boards?

The cabin is crafted from 19mm thick interlocking tongue-and-groove boards.

Is professional installation available?

Yes, optional professional installation services are available in many areas. Please check availability for your location.

Troubleshooting

Cabin is not weatherproof after installation.

Ensure all timber preservative treatment was applied immediately after installation and annually thereafter. Check for any gaps between boards and seal if necessary.

Doors are stiff or difficult to close.

Check if the cabin is sitting level on its base. Minor adjustments to the base or hinges may be required. Ensure no obstructions are present.

Wood appears to be warping or splitting.

This can occur if the timber was not adequately treated upon installation or if exposed to prolonged extreme weather. Reapply preservative and monitor closely.

Difficulty assembling components.

Refer back to the assembly instructions and ensure all parts are correctly identified. Contact customer support if parts seem to be missing or damaged.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile dual-purpose functionality for diverse needs.
  • Durable construction with 19mm tongue-and-groove boards.
  • Secure locking mechanisms for both cabin and storage areas.
  • Adaptable layout with configurable storage placement.
  • Eco-friendly, sustainably sourced timber.

Cons

  • Requires immediate preservative treatment upon installation.
  • Untreated timber may be susceptible to weathering if not protected.
  • Assembly requires a suitable base and tools.
  • Optional professional installation may incur additional costs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Base Preparation: Ensure a level and solid base (e.g., concrete slab, paving stones) is prepared before assembly. The base should be slightly larger than the footprint of the cabin.
  2. Assembly: Follow the clear, provided assembly instructions carefully. It is recommended to have at least two people for assembly due to the size and weight of the components.
  3. Treatment: *Immediately* after installation, treat all external surfaces of the timber with a quality wood preservative and/or sealant. This is crucial for protecting the wood from moisture and UV damage and is required to maintain the manufacturer's warranty.

Compatibility:

  • This log cabin is designed for garden use and requires a suitable outdoor space.
  • Ensure local planning regulations do not restrict the size or placement of garden buildings.

Care:

  • Annual Treatment: Reapply preservative or sealant annually to maintain wood protection.
  • Cleaning: Clean the cabin periodically with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation, especially if using the cabin as a habitable space, by opening the window or door when conditions allow.
