FAQs

What size base is required for the Rushock Log Cabin?

A solid, level base is essential. The cabin has external dimensions of 5.24m wide by 4.34m deep, so the base should be at least this size, with concrete being the recommended material.

Does the cabin come with assembly instructions?

Yes, the cabin is supplied with assembly instructions. However, due to its size and construction, professional assembly is recommended for optimal results.

How long will the Polyester felt roof last?

The supplied 24kg Polyester felt is designed for durability and offers a life expectancy of up to 15 years, being stronger and more tear-resistant than conventional mineral felt.

Can I use this cabin all year round?

Yes, the double-glazed windows and doors, along with the 45mm log construction, provide a good level of insulation suitable for year-round use, though additional heating may be desired in colder months.

What type of glass is used in the windows and doors?

All windows and doors are fitted with toughened glass for enhanced safety and durability.

How often should I treat the wood?

It is recommended to treat the timber with a quality wood preservative and/or stain annually to maintain its condition and protect it from the elements.

What are the internal dimensions of the cabin?

The internal floor dimensions are approximately 4.7m wide by 3.7m deep, providing a total internal floor area of 17.5m².

Troubleshooting

Log sections do not interlock smoothly

Check for debris in the grooves or any slight warping. Ensure logs are aligned correctly. Gentle tapping with a rubber mallet may help.

Water ingress through the roof

Inspect the Polyester felt for tears or gaps. Ensure seams are properly overlapped and sealed. Check for any damage to the roof boards.

Doors or windows are difficult to open/close

Check for any swelling of the timber due to moisture or if the cabin base has settled unevenly. Adjust hinges if necessary. Ensure no obstructions.

Condensation forming on interior walls

Improve ventilation by opening windows regularly, especially during humid weather or after use. Ensure no water is trapped around the base.

Wood appears faded or discoloured

This is a sign the wood needs re-treating. Apply a suitable exterior wood preservative or stain as per the manufacturer's instructions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Spacious internal area ideal for multiple uses.
  • Excellent natural light due to numerous windows and doors.
  • Durable construction with thick interlocking logs.
  • Apex roof design provides superior headroom.
  • High-quality, long-lasting Polyester felt roofing included.
  • Double-glazed elements contribute to insulation.

Cons

  • Requires a solid, level base (e.g., concrete) for proper installation.
  • Professional assembly is recommended for optimal setup.

  • Polyester felt, while durable, may require eventual replacement.
  • Brown colour may not suit all garden aesthetics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Foundation: A solid, level base is crucial. Poured concrete is highly recommended to ensure stability and prevent warping. Ensure the base is larger than the cabin's footprint (5.24m x 4.34m).
  2. Assembly: While DIY assembly is possible, professional assembly services are available and recommended, especially given the size and interlocking nature of the logs. Ensure all components are present and identifiable before starting.
  3. Location: Choose a well-drained area in your garden, away from direct exposure to harsh weather where possible.

Compatibility:

  • This cabin is designed as a standalone structure. Ensure adequate space around it for access and maintenance.
  • Consider local planning regulations for garden buildings before installation.

Care:

  • Wood Treatment: Apply a quality wood preservative and/or stain annually to protect the timber from UV rays and moisture. Pay particular attention to end grains and joints.
  • Roofing: Inspect the Polyester felt periodically for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure water is not pooling.
  • Cleaning: Clean windows and doors with a mild detergent and water. Wipe down exterior logs as needed.
  • Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation to prevent condensation build-up, especially during colder months.
