Storm Kit for Log Cabins

Add extra stability to your Garden Building

With a set of Tuin storm kits, you have an ideal solution for log cabins positioned within exposed areas. These include higher altitude areas, such as the Scottish Highlands and Peak District, as well as windy coastal areas.

Our storm kits have spring connections that adapt to movements in the timber, allowing it to expand and contract to changing weather conditions without compromising on your cabin's structural integrity.

Storm Kit Features:

• 4 x Metal Rods at 1.89m

• 4 x Springs

• 8 x Meal L Brackets

• 8 x Nuts for the rods

• 16 x Fixing screws

How to install a Storm Kit

You can install the storm kit to either the install of your log cabin. We recommend installing on the outside for an overall cleaner interior. To prevent the kit from rusting, use an all-purpose metal paint.

Installing the kit couldn't be easier:

1. Add one storm kit rod to each side of your log cabin. For models with more than four sides, disperse them evenly around the building.

2. Fix each storm kit rod to the top wall log first.

3. Then secure the rods to the lower wall logs. Position will differ depending on the height of your cabin

Storm Kit alternatives

You can make a storm brace using timber if you want a tidier look that complements your building. If you plan on installing a timber storm brace, follow the same instructions as above, but ensure that the top is secured more tightly and the bottom slightly loose.

However you choose, a storm kit will keep you log cabin more secure in case of heavy storms and wind.
