Addressing problems

We understand that potential issues can arise with any large purchase. Here are some common problems and how we can help you resolve them.

• It gets too cold in the cabin: A 28mm log cabin will only stay warm seasonally as it does not have the sturdy natural insulation of other cabins.

• The cabin's logs are warping: Movement in timber is a natural occurrence. Due to the thinner logs, 28mm cabins may warp slightly and more frequently, this is why it is important to stay on top of treatment and spot problems early.

• Why are gaps appearing in my log cabin wall? Gaps can appear due to natural wood expansion and contraction. Ensure proper treatment and maintenance to minimize these effects. Tighten any loose connections and check for proper installation.

• Why is my log cabin door warped? Warping can result from changes in humidity and temperature. Keep doors properly treated and consider using weatherstripping to minimize exposure to the elements.

• There’s mold on the items within the log cabin. Mold on items inside the cabin is a sign of high humidity. Improve ventilation, use moisture absorbers, and regularly clean and inspect the cabin’s interior to keep mold at bay.

Factors to Consider

Prior to making any final financial decision, there are a few things you'll want to consider regarding 28mm log cabins to ensure your needs and purposes are met:

• How and when you use your log cabin: As mentioned, 28mm log cabins are fantastic for seasonal usage, for storage or for outdoor activities. With those uses in mind, you can adjust what kind of cabin style works best for you.

• The size of your cabin and garden: Most cabins found in this range are on the smaller side, the ideal size and quality for UK gardens. For larger gardens, you may want a cabin from this range with additional storage or gazebo space.

• Base and foundation requirements: We recommend a level, concrete base for our log cabins. You can also construct a quality foundation constructed from a timber frame base. Your base should measure slightly larger than the area of your log cabin.

• 28mm log cabins' cost and budget: Some of our most affordable cabins are found here, with prices starting from £1,700. With larger sizes and optional extras, you can still get a quality, double door tongue and groove cabin for around £6,000.

Understanding common concerns

We know that investing in a log cabin can bring up some worries. Let us address and alleviate those fears to help you make the best decision.

• Will I be getting a return on investment? Investing in a log cabin can significantly increase your property’s value and provide versatile spaces that enhance your lifestyle. Properly maintained log cabins are attractive features that can offer substantial returns.

• What happens when we move the log cabin to a new location Moving a log cabin requires careful planning and professional assistance to ensure it’s done safely and efficiently. While it’s a challenging task, it’s possible with the right approach and support.

• Can my neighbors complain and do something about my newly installed log cabin? Neighbor complaints can arise if your log cabin doesn’t comply with local regulations or if it impacts their property. Ensure you follow planning permissions and communicate with your neighbors to address any concerns proactively.

• Can storm damage occur to my Log cabin? Log cabins are designed to withstand various weather conditions, but severe storms can cause damage. Ensure your cabin is properly secured, and use high-quality materials for construction and roofing to minimize risk.
