At first glance, the choice of a log cabin is simple, right? You see a cabin that you like and buy it - wrong! There are many pitfalls, and this brief summary will help you in the process of buying a log cabin.
Log cabins are usually made by large logging companies that select, grind and process wood to produce a range of lumber cabin structures. Manufacturers rarely sell directly to the public. Instead, they contract with third-party vendors in different countries and regions for the sale and sale of their products. You, the consumer, most likely ordered a cash register through a third-party retailer, it is possible, after seeing the picture and specification online, or in a physical exhibition hall. All online stores process an order and take their percentage; the salon is manufactured, shipped and supplied by the manufacturer.
The moral here is that third-party sellers may have little or no real interest in the final suitability and appearance of your new booth — until they get their percentage of the deal they are moving on to the next customer in that they have a game numbers
You may well decide here that what you would prefer to find is a company that actually harvests wood, knows its products and cares about the end result of a log cabin in your garden. Consultation in the cockpit is not difficult to find, but really worth the advice of the cabin is rare, as the teeth of a chicken in what is basically an unregulated "gold rush". industry. Look for companies that use only slow, slow-grown wood, which themselves produce logs and cabin components that have a physical supply and sell directly to the public, for example, a ten-year warranty against wood rot.
When having a reputable manufacturer of a log cabin, consider only models that have the ability to fully factory tanalization (wooden dispenser used under pressure) for each part of the cabin, including windows, doors, roofing and floor coverings. You will pay more for this, but for peace of mind and to alleviate additional costs it is worth it. Also consider cabs that are pre-painted at the factory. If you buy a raw cabin, it will take a lot of work to manually apply a wooden reserve (at least two layers) on each part of the cabin.
Consider the appropriate tray thickness. Cheaper 18mm or 28mm logs may be in order for a warehouse or summer house, but not suitable for a garden house in the cabin. Go for logs with a minimum length of 44 mm for better insulation and overall cab strength and durability. Similarly, if you want to use the cabin at any time of the year, specify double glazed windows and doors. Cheap single glazing or even worse styrene will only disappoint when winter comes.
Wherever and when it was possible, as soon as you decided on the correct manufacturer and ordered a set of log cabins, you definitely need to assemble the cabin yourself or use only a reliable local builder for this. There are many so-called professional salon installers whose sole purpose is to inspect the log cabin as quickly as possible. We all know that fast work is not the same as good work. A very good quality cabin can be destroyed in one morning by a poor collection. The final finish is very important, as this is what you see and what will help protect the cabin from the elements. Blow it up with a nail gun, and the end result will be a riven mess, suspicious of wood rot.
In fact, it is worth spending time and effort to carefully select a reputable manufacturer of quality log cabins, buy with confidence and confidence, as well as independently assemble a bathroom and show pride in the final result.
