Fitting your Log Cabin

A full fitting service is offered with all of our log cabins. The cost for fitting is dependant on the type of cabin and the location of the job. Please contact our sales team on 023 8081 2354 to discuss your fitting requirements.

As well as offering a fitting service, we are more than happy to advise people who want to have a go at fitting their log cabin themselves. All of our cabins come with detailed fitting instructions and a comprehensive pack of fixings. Our fitter Peter Leppard has been a cabin fitter for many years and he is available on 07703535065 to assist with any queries.

 

Stage 1

Lay out your bearers to the shape of the Cabin and then measure from corner to corner to make sure it is square. When you are happy it is square you can start assembling the Cabin. Look for the two half logs as they are the first ones at the front and the back of the cabin. It is a good idea to fix through these to make sure that the Bearers do not move.

Stage 2

As you go up you must add the Windows and the door frame. If you have purchased additional windows it is easier to add them at this stage rather than when the Cabin is finished.

Stage 3

When the walls are up you can add the gables and the roof joists.

Stage 4

At this point you can fix the Roof planks. Please note that the last roof plank will probably have to be cut to the right width, this is also the case for the floor boards. It is advisable to fit the floor last so that it remains clean.
