How to care for your Log Cabin: Caring for you log cabin

Caring For Your Log Cabin

All our products are made from Spruce grown from inside the Arctic circle, giving a denser wood meaning the this is ideal for building.

When we deliver our products they will arrive untreated and need some protection for the wood to maximise the preservation of the wood. A good article to read is about wood preservation is from Wikipedia - wood preservation.

We work with a brand called Butinox and this will treat your log cabin for at least five years creating a protective coating over the cabin and stopping any kind of rotting.

The other big issue with log cabins is the damp seeping up from the ground, like all modern houses our log cabins come with a damp proof membrane, to help protect it from laying ground water.

If for any reason you have had an issue with rot, then please give us a call and we should be able to supply with spare boards in order to replace the rotten boards. If your product is under 5 years old and has been treated we will offer this free of charge (terms and conditions will apply).

As standard most cabins are supplied with a sheet felt roof which lasts a minimum of around two years before any degrading may occur. The optional upgrade for the roofing which we offer is a tougher hexagonal felt tile which lasts a up to 15 years before wear and tear starts to set in. When this does happen, unlike the standard roof, you can just replace the worn tile with a new one rather than replacing the entire roof.

With care our cabins can last a good long time.
