FAQs

What is the thickness of the timber used for the walls?

The Shire Tilney Log Cabin is constructed using 19mm thick interlocking tongue-and-groove boards.

Does the cabin come treated?

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

Is professional installation offered?

Yes, optional professional installation is available in many areas. Please check availability for your location.

What type of base is recommended?

A level and firm base, such as concrete slabs or a prepared foundation, is recommended for stability and longevity.

How often should I re-treat the wood?

Re-treatment frequency depends on the preservative used and environmental exposure, but generally, it is recommended every 1-3 years.

What are the dimensions of the cabin?

The cabin measures 8 x 10ft.

Can the window or door be repositioned?

The cabin is designed with specific window and door placements as shown in the product images. Repositioning is not standard and would require significant modification.

Troubleshooting

Cabin leaks after heavy rain

Ensure all joints are sealed and check that the preservative treatment has been applied thoroughly to all surfaces, including edges and end grains. Verify the base is level to prevent water pooling.

Door or window sticks

Check for any warping due to moisture. If wood has swollen, allow it to dry and consider light sanding. Ensure the frame is not obstructed.

Wood shows signs of rot or decay

This usually indicates insufficient or absent preservative treatment. Apply a suitable wood preservative immediately and replace any severely damaged sections if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Shire Tilney Log Cabin comes with clear assembly instructions. It is recommended to have a level and firm base, such as concrete or paving slabs, for installation. Due to the size and construction, two people are recommended for assembly. Optional professional installation is available in many regions.

Compatibility: This cabin is a standalone structure designed for garden placement. Ensure sufficient space is available for the 8 x 10ft footprint and access around the building.

Care: The cabin is supplied untreated. It is crucial to treat all exterior surfaces with a quality wood preservative and/or paint immediately after installation to protect against rot, decay, and insect attack. This treatment is essential for maintaining the manufacturer’s warranty. Reapply treatment as recommended by the preservative manufacturer, typically every 1-3 years, depending on exposure and product used. Regularly inspect for any signs of wear or damage.
