Please note:  The following relates to larger buildings, larger summerhouses (Norland, Gudrum – all brands, Palmako).  For questions about the delivery or any other aspect of purchasing our other ranges (Lugarde, Bertsch, Jagram, Forest, Rowlinson, Shire, Mercia) please simply ask.

The following points are our responses to some of the frequently asked questions that we are asked:

Delivery of Log Cabins and Larger Summer Houses: The lead-time on delivery is stated on each product page or, where available the page will allow you to select yourown preferred delivery date. On the whole this is the minimum lead-time – if you feel that your building may arrive before you are ready to receive it then please simply let us know at the point of order.  We have large warehouse facilities and can usually hold your cabin until you are ready for the delivery. Also many cabins in our standard ranges, but not all, are stored and available for speedy delivery.  The cabins that are not stored in the warehouse come direct to us from their respective factory.  Once a building is in our warehouse, with our group of carriers we can offer UK Mainland delivery (Excludes Northern Ireland and all Islands except Isle of Skye) within 7 days from our warehouse so when you are ready to receive your building please simply let us know and we will then arrange delivery.  We cannot always arrange delivery on the day of your choice but we can deliver on the day that we are in your area.  If you wish to find out which day we deliver to your area – please simply ask us and forward your postcode.  We will let you know immediately.  Delivery is usually a major concern for customers however our drivers very much have a can-do attitude, are very helpful and delivery almost invariably passes without any sort of incident.

What to Expect when a Building Kit Arrives: The buildings are of course delivered in kit form and will require assembling.  The kits are on large pallets and are off-loaded from the delivery truck with a piggy back fork lift (Excludes sheds and smaller summer houses).  We always have to state that delivery is “kerb side”, this means to the nearest accessible point to your delivery address the consignment will be delivered to kerb side.  If you have any doubts about access please contact us. However the reality is that most customers require delivery onto the property, usually onto the driveway.  Our drivers will usually comply with this requirement (I you do NOT want them on your property please let us know at point of order) assuming it is physically possible to do so but please note: any delivery onto your property is at your risk.  The significant risk that you are taking is the weight of the delivery vehicle combined with the forklift and therefore potential damage to surfaces, drains, manhole covers etc.

Base Preparation: This is one of the most significant factors in the lifespan of any timber building.  Our Log Cabins are intended to have a VERY long life-span hence the base that they are stood on similarly needs to have a long lifespan.  There are many suitable base types however key is that the base must be flat, level, smooth and prepared in such a way that it retains these qualities over a long period and DOES NOT settle out or one corner settle such that the base becomes un-even.  Generally it is usually advisable to rather over-size the base such that the weight of the building, which is borne by the walls, is not on the very edge of the base.  Base types frequently used include: Concrete, concrete paving stones, timber decking type base, swift base- plastic grid (Must be completely back-filled with gravel such that the gravel is taking the weight), very well compacted hard-core n a very solid sub-base (extreme care must be taken with this type of base as these are inclined to settle out).

Properties of Timber Products: As Timber is a natural material with well documented properties of expansion and contraction according to its environment then timber highly susceptible to relative humidity and weather conditions. When you purchase any garden timber product you purchase a timber product and should be aware of its properties: •The timber we use for our log cabins is mainly North European Spruce. •The timber used for our sheds and sectional buildings in the main is of non-specified species but is mainly pine, spruce or a combination. Most timber used is kiln dried.  In general it is not seasoned.  The process of drying wood, whether that is by seasoning the wood or kiln drying combined with varying ambient moisture levels in the atmosphere, result in small natural splits and cracks appearing along the grain of the wood as well as some warping of components as wood will always respond to its environment regardless of how “Free Moisture” has been removed.

Timber Treatment: Many cabins (Gudrum – all brands, Palmako, Lugarde, some Bertsch buildings, Mercia) have the option of selecting a factory applied timber treatment. Usually factory applied treatments should be considered to be a pre-treatment and a further coat will be required within a few weeks.   Factory applied treatment options are not always displayed on the web site for various reasons – if you would like further information on this please let us know.  Most customers prefer to apply timber treatment on site.  In general timber treatment should be applied as soon as possible and at least annually thereafter.  A recognised brand of coloured timber treatment for machined timber should be used on all surfaces.  We recommend that treatment should be applied at least each year after assembly.  In the first year it is often advisable to apply two coats of coloured timber treatment.  We do not recommend specific brands although the following manufacturers have suitable ranges: Cuprinol, Sadolin,  Sikkens, Barratine and others.  Please note: ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW instructions on the tin or as supplied by the treatment manufacturer. It is worth noting that owing to expansion and contraction of timber and the fact that this will cause parts of the wood to become exposed after treatment has been applied that a second coat should be applied within 6 months or so

Assembly: Most of our standard range of log cabins and garages is offered as a diy assembly kit.  As every site is different and requirements vary accordingly we cannot advise on safety matters during assembly but please take all reasonable precautions such that the assembly itself is safe and that the assembly process and the finished building is safe for assemblers and everyone else.  Be aware that most assemblies require lifting and moving of heavy items and working at height however there are potentially a number of other risks that should also be considered.  If in doubt about site safety please consult a specialist and engage specialist assembly services.  Cabins are delivered with full assembly instructions but if in doubt please contact us with any questions.

On-going Maintenance: Timber treatment should be applied reasonably frequently and at least as often as recommended on the tin.  It is worth remembering that all wood will rot.  The thing that stops rot is thorough, frequent application of a quality timber treatment.  Any damaged or broken glass should always be replaced promptly.  Other than that there is really very little maintenance required.
