Troubleshooting
Cabin feels damp or has condensation
Ensure the cabin has been treated with a suitable preservative. Check that all ventilation, including tilt and turn windows, are functioning correctly. Improve airflow by opening windows when possible.
Logs do not fit together easily
Check for any debris or damage in the tongue and groove. Ensure you are using the correct logs for the section being assembled. Gentle persuasion with a rubber mallet may help, but avoid forcing.
Roof felt is damaged or lifting
Inspect the felt for tears or lifting edges. Small tears can sometimes be repaired with roofing sealant. If significantly damaged, the felt may need replacing following manufacturer guidelines.
Doors or windows are sticking
Check for any swelling in the timber due to moisture. Ensure the frame has not shifted. Minor adjustments might be needed, or a light sanding of the sticking edges.
