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.
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.
