Usage:

A timber frame base can be made from a variety of thicknesses and depths of timber. The strength comes from the depth (height) of the timber. Please see our Timber Frame Advice page. For timber such as 35mm x 50mm spacing must be 600mm or less. For thicker timber this can be increased to 1.00m - 1.50m or further. Ideally the base pads will be supported on a paving slab or similar and maybe bolted / screwed down as required. Weights of cabins are shown on the pages but consider the imposed loads you are applying inside the building.

As well as ideal for leveling timber frame bases these pads are perfect for decking construction.

Please Note. Most of our log cabins come with their own foundation beams, these beams are only their to act as a sacrafial barrier and are not in our opinion man enough to be used as a timber base and supported only at intervals.. When planning to use these base pads with our log cabins you will need your own timber base/structure directly ontop of the base pads and underneath the first layer of log cabin logs.
