FAQs

Do I need planning permission for the Shire Elm Log Cabin?

At a ridge height of 2.25m, this log cabin typically does not require planning permission. However, it is always advisable to check with your local authority before installation, as regulations can vary.

What treatment should I use on the wood?

You should use a high-quality exterior wood preservative, stain, or paint designed to protect against UV rays, moisture, and insect attack. Follow the product manufacturer's instructions for application.

Can the side shed be placed on either side?

Yes, the design allows for the side shed to be positioned on either the left or the right of the main garden room during assembly, offering flexibility.

What is SAN Glazing?

SAN Glazing (Styrene Acrylonitrile) is a type of plastic glazing that is more impact-resistant and safer than traditional glass, reducing the risk of breakage.

How often should I reapply the wood treatment?

It is generally recommended to reapply wood treatments every 2-3 years, or as per the specific product manufacturer's guidelines, to maintain protection and appearance.

What type of base do I need?

A solid, level base is required. This can be a concrete slab, a series of paving slabs, or a timber sub-frame, ensuring it is larger than the footprint of the cabin.

Troubleshooting

Cabin logs do not fit together snugly

Ensure the logs are correctly oriented and check for any debris in the grooves. Minor adjustments may be needed during assembly.

Water ingress through the roof

Verify that the mineral felt has been applied correctly and is sealed at the edges. Check for any tears or damage to the felt and repair if necessary.

Door or window is stiff to open/close

Check for any obstructions or swelling of the timber due to moisture. Adjust hinges if necessary and ensure the frame is square.

Uneven floor

This indicates an unstable or unlevel base. The cabin will need to be dismantled and reassembled on a properly prepared, solid, and level base.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers both living space and storage in one unit.
  • Constructed from durable and sustainable Northern European pine.
  • Includes safety glazing for windows and doors.
  • Adaptable design with reversible side shed placement.
  • Good ventilation for occupant comfort.

Cons

  • Supplied untreated, requiring immediate finishing.
  • 19mm logs offer moderate insulation, potentially requiring additional insulation for year-round use as a heated space.
  • Requires a solid, level base for installation.
  • Assembly can be time-consuming and may require two people.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

A solid, level base is essential for the stability and longevity of the log cabin. This could be a concrete slab, paving slabs, or a timber base frame. Ensure the base is larger than the footprint of the cabin. Assembly instructions are provided, and it is recommended that two people undertake the construction.

Compatibility:

The cabin is designed for outdoor garden use. It is compatible with various wood treatments, paints, and stains. The modular nature of the side shed allows for placement on either the left or right of the main cabin during assembly, offering flexibility to fit different garden layouts.

Care:

As the cabin is supplied untreated, it is crucial to apply a suitable wood preservative, stain, or paint to all exterior surfaces immediately after assembly. This will protect the timber from rot, decay, and insect attack, and guard against weathering. Regular maintenance, including reapplication of treatments every 2-3 years, will ensure the cabin remains in good condition. Keep the area around the base clear of debris and vegetation to allow for air circulation.
