FAQs

Is the Shire Tilney Log Cabin treated when it arrives?

No, the cabin is supplied untreated. It is crucial to apply a quality wood preservative to all surfaces immediately after assembly to protect the timber and maintain the warranty.

What type of base is recommended for the log cabin?

A firm, level base is recommended. This could be a concrete slab, paving stones, or a timber frame base, ensuring it is well-drained to prevent moisture issues.

Can I use this cabin as a year-round office?

Yes, with its robust construction and the potential for added insulation, it can be used as a year-round office. Ensure it is properly sealed and consider adding insulation if needed for colder climates.

What are the dimensions of the door and window?

Please refer to the product images provided with the listing, which include detailed diagrams with window and door positioning and dimensions.

How long does the assembly take?

Assembly time can vary depending on experience and the number of people involved. It is recommended that two adults undertake the assembly, and it can typically take a full day or more.

What is the warranty on the Shire Tilney Log Cabin?

The manufacturer's warranty is maintained as long as the cabin is correctly assembled and treated with a quality preservative immediately after installation and periodically thereafter. Specific warranty terms should be confirmed with the retailer.

Does the cabin come with flooring and roofing?

Yes, the cabin features tongue-and-groove flooring and roof boards for added strength and durability.

Troubleshooting

Cabin components do not align during assembly

Ensure the base is perfectly level and that you are following the assembly instructions precisely. Check that all boards are correctly oriented and seated.

Gaps appear between boards after installation

This can occur due to natural timber expansion and contraction with humidity changes. Ensure the cabin is treated with preservative as instructed, which helps to stabilize the wood. Minor gaps can be filled with a suitable exterior wood filler.

Door or window is difficult to open or close

Check for any obstructions or warping. Ensure the hinges and locking mechanisms are properly aligned and lubricated. If warping is significant, it may require adjustment after the wood has acclimatized.

Water ingress after heavy rain

Verify that the roof and wall joints are sealed correctly. Ensure the preservative treatment has been applied thoroughly, especially to edges and end grains. Check the base for adequate drainage away from the cabin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Shire Tilney Log Cabin is supplied with clear assembly instructions. It is recommended that assembly is carried out on a firm, level base. Due to the size and weight of the components, assembly by two adults is advised. Optional professional installation services may be available in many areas.

Compatibility: This cabin is designed as a standalone garden structure. Ensure you check any local planning permissions or building regulations that may apply to garden buildings in your area before installation.

Care: The cabin is supplied untreated.

Reapplication of preservative will be necessary periodically as per the preservative manufacturer's instructions.
