Selecting the Perfect Log Cabin Base Options

Choosing the right foundation for your log cabin is crucial for its longevity and stability. Here are some considerations when selecting log cabin base options:

Concrete Bases

A solid choice for any log cabin, concrete bases offer durability and support. They are ideal for larger structures like the TBS136 Log Cabin, ensuring that even the most extensive cabins stay level and secure.

Timber Frame Bases

If you're looking for a budget-friendly and environmentally sustainable option, timber frame bases are efficient and sustainable. They work well with medium-sized cabins such as the Paris Log Cabin, providing the necessary support without breaking the bank.

Paving Slabs

For smaller cabins or where access to heavy equipment is limited, laying a base with paving slabs can be effective. This method is often used for cabins like the TBS110, owing to its ease of installation.

Key Considerations in Log Cabin Installation

Installing your log cabin involves several key steps. Here’s how to approach the process:

Preparing the Site

Start by clearing and levelling the ground where your cabin will reside. Remove any vegetation and debris, ensuring the site is level to prevent water pooling. This foundation step is vital for all log cabin installations, no matter the cabin size.

Insulation and Finishing

For year-round comfort, prioritize adding insulation. Our cabins can be fitted with top-grade insulative materials to keep things cosy in the winter and cool during the summer.

Paint and Preserve

Once erected, protect your cabin with a weather-resistant wood treatment. Then, add your personal touch with a coat of paint in your desired colour.

Furnishing Your Log Cabin

Finalise your installation by furnishing your cabin according to its purpose. Comfortable seating, decorative touches, and efficient layout transform the space into a home away from home.
