FAQs

What type of wood is the Hale Log Cabin made from?

The Hale Log Cabin is constructed from high-grade, slow-grown Northern European Pine, which is sustainably sourced.

Do I need to treat the wood immediately after assembly?

Yes, the cabin is delivered untreated and requires immediate painting or staining with a good quality wood paint or stain to protect it from the elements and prevent deterioration.

Can I place the log cabin on a gravel base?

No, a solid, flat, and level base such as concrete or paving slabs is required. Gravel, grass, or soil are not sufficient as they can shift and compromise the stability of the structure.

Is the glass toughened?

Yes, the cabin comes with 4mm toughened glass as standard for enhanced safety.

How long is the guarantee?

Shire products are guaranteed for 1 year from delivery, with an additional 10-year rot resistance guarantee. Both require compliance with the manufacturer's guidelines for assembly, usage, and regular preservative treatment.

Can the door and window be positioned on either side?

Yes, the door and window can be positioned on either the left or right side of the front of the cabin during assembly, offering flexibility in design.

What are the dimensions of the log cabin?

The external dimensions are H 250 x W 299 x D 359cm. Please note that internal sizes will be smaller due to the log construction and crossover.

Troubleshooting

Log cabin will not assemble squarely.

Ensure the base is perfectly level and that all logs are seated correctly in their grooves before proceeding to the next layer.

Water ingress or drafts.

Check that all logs are fully interlocked and that the roof felt is correctly installed. Ensure draft excluders on doors and windows are properly fitted. Reapply sealant if necessary.

Wood appears to be swelling or shrinking significantly.

This is natural timber movement. Ensure you have applied adequate preservative treatment to all surfaces. Proper base preparation also helps maintain stability.

Premature rot or decay.

This is likely due to insufficient or infrequent preservative treatment. Ensure the cabin is treated immediately upon installation and reapply treatment annually as per manufacturer guidelines.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Base Preparation: A solid, level base (e.g., concrete slab or paved area) of sufficient size is essential. Grass, soil, or gravel are not suitable as they can shift under the building's weight.
  2. Assembly: The log cabin is supplied as individual log boards. Follow the provided instructions carefully for assembly, building length by length from the floor upwards. Ensure you allow space around the cabin for assembly and treatment application.
  3. Fixings: All necessary fixings are included.

Compatibility:

  • Location: Choose a level site that can accommodate the building's dimensions plus an allowance for roof overhang and access.
  • Treatment: The cabin is supplied untreated and must be treated immediately upon installation.

Care:

  • Preservative Treatment: Apply a high-quality wood paint or stain immediately after assembly. Reapply preservative treatment regularly (annually recommended) to protect the timber from weathering and decay. Ensure all surfaces, including edges and end grains, are thoroughly treated.
  • Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation, especially if the cabin is to be used frequently, to prevent condensation build-up.
  • Cleaning: Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
