Bases and foundations construction
One of the most important parts of the build installation is a the base. To ensure they have the long life span as intended a flat and level base is required for any building. A base can be pretty much made out of anything: concrete, timber, paving stones. But, any base provided for any log cabin has to follow this criteria:
Consideration should be given to the majority of the weight being placed on the perimeter of the cabin.
Consideration should be given to the weight of the cabin, a 19mm is obviously considerably different to a 70mm.
It should be 100% level in every direction.
It should be square and true.
It should ideally be made to be just over the footprint size of the cabin.

Slow Grown Spruce
The tongue and groove timber for our log cabins in made using exclusively slow grown spruce. This is a naturally strong and reliable white wood and a perfect solution for garden construction. Unlike pine wood, spruce wood is more dense absorbs less water in cold, wet weather, allowing our log cabins to withstand winter months better.
Log Cabin Roofing Materials
Depending on your roof type, your log cabin can have either IKO Roof Shingles or EPDM Roofing Felt. Shingles are best for apex and traditional style roofs, looking more house-like. On the other hand, Roofing Felt is made for flat roof cabins for easy, hassle-free application.
