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.

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:

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.
