What is the best way to prepare a base for my Log Cabin or Garden Office?
A solid base can be constructed in a number of ways, using a variety of materials:
- Solid Concrete Base
- Concrete Strip Foundations
- Railway Sleepers
- Paving Slabs on top of Hardcore
-
Decking
Strip foundations will allow for better drainage than a solid concrete slab and should be laid running perpendicular to the building's bearers. You will need to use a weed control membrane to prevent any plants that are growing between the concrete strips from coming up through the floor boards.
Does the Log Cabin need to be treated?
- Log Cabins are supplied untreated to enable you to decorate and finish it to your own individual style and tastes. The only part of the cabins that is pre-treated are the bearers, which are pressure treated for longer life.
- It is strongly advised that you treat your log cabin when you construct it, and periodically after that in order to maintain and prolong it's beauty and life. Timber is a natural product that will contract and expand in varying weather conditions. If left untreated it will deteriorate.
