28mm summerhouse FAQs

Addressing problems

We understand that potential issues can arise with any large purchase. Here are some common problems and how we can help you resolve them.

  • It gets too cold in the cabin: A 28mm log cabin will only stay warm seasonally as it does not have the sturdy natural insulation of other cabins.

  • The cabin's logs are warping: Movement in timber is a natural occurrence. Due to the thinner logs, 28mm cabins may warp slightly and more frequently, this is why it is important to stay on top of treatment and spot problems early.

  • Why are gaps appearing in my log cabin wall? Gaps can appear due to natural wood expansion and contraction. Ensure proper treatment and maintenance to minimize these effects. Tighten any loose connections and check for proper installation.

  • Why is my log cabin door warped? Warping can result from changes in humidity and temperature. Keep doors properly treated and consider using weatherstripping to minimize exposure to the elements.

  • There’s mold on the items within the log cabin. Mold on items inside the cabin is a sign of high humidity. Improve ventilation, use moisture absorbers, and regularly clean and inspect the cabin’s interior to keep mold at bay.

Factors to Consider

  • The size of your cabin and garden: Most cabins found in this range are on the smaller side, the ideal size and quality for UK gardens. For larger gardens, you may want a cabin from this range with additional storage or gazebo space.

  • Base and foundation requirements: We recommend a level, concrete base for our log cabins. You can also construct a quality foundation constructed from a timber frame base. Your base should measure slightly larger than the area of your log cabin.

  • 28mm log cabins' cost and budget: Some of our most affordable cabins are found here, with prices starting from £1,700. With larger sizes and optional extras, you can still get a quality, double door tongue and groove cabin for around £6,000.
