This guide is designed to help you when building a Log Cabin from our range. Each cabin does come with instructions and you can always call the manufacturer if you get stuck. Hopefully this guide will supplement the instructions and explain what needs to be done. Once you finish you can enjoy using your log cabin for years to come.
Firstly, you must ensure that you have a suitable hard-standing for your Log Cabin. This will make sure that the cabin doesn't bow or subside which can lead to damage and broken windows. If using concrete or patio slabs you will need to make sure that your base is 5-10 cm larger than the footprint of your cabin.
Read the instructions
Position all the parts on the ground close to where you will build your log cabin
Interlock the first two log sections together and then fix them to joists at the corner
Continue with the next two logs to mark out the four corners
At this point make sure that the initial logs are level
Next you can lay floor boards, these are usually tongue-and-groove
Add the remaining logs as above to build up the walls
Eventually, window and door holes will appear
Insert doors and windows and then continue to build up the walls
Attach the final long logs across the doors / windows
The roof frame can now be attached
Attach support joists into the pre-cut grooves on the top logs
Next, nail the roof boards onto the support joists
Finally, add the felt or add shingle tiles to the roof to make it water-tight
You build this in a similar way to your log cabin, by slotting logs together
First slot logs together and attach so as to build up walls
Lay deck joists and then attach the floor boards
