Log cabin maintenance

Although all our products are created for durability, regular maintenance is essential for preserving the appearance and longevity of the timber and structure. Regular inspection and treatment of the wood – at least on an annual basis – helps preserve the look of the cabin and ensure protection from the elements. Make sure windows and doors are properly sealed and regularly check the roof for any signs of water ingress.

Fix any issues immediately rather than waiting – they inevitably get worse. Adequate ventilation is also important, so be sure to open windows and doors regularly, and install sufficient air vents to reduce the build of moisture and guard against mould.

Log cabin planning permission

Log cabins often fall under ‘permitted development’ and may not require planning permission if they meet specific criteria. Key considerations include the its size and height, its proximity to property boundaries, and its intended use.

Generally, any garden building within two metres of a boundary must not exceed 2.5 metres in height, and those intended for sleeping accommodation often require planning permission. It's crucial to check with local planning authorities as regulations can vary in certain areas. For more information, read our guide to planning permission for garden buildings.
