A guide to Log Cabins in the UK

Groundwork Guide

There are many different base types suitable for our ranges of garden buildings from compressed hardcore, tarmac, railway sleepers, concrete pad, concrete flag stones etc. However to ensure the long term durability of your new garden building we recommend that the following simple steps should be taken to prepare a good quality base. A solid, level foundation is necessary for the installation of any good quality garden building:

 

Depending on the soil type and consistency this should be removed to a depth of approx 15 cm (6ins). The next stage is to fill in with a coarse sand or gravel, compact and then lay concrete slabs or put down concrete. It is important to ensure that the top of this base is level and above the surrounding ground level to avoid water collecting. This will prevent any unnecessary problems related to the building settling into the ground (i.e. windows and doors jamming) and assist with the long term durability and appeal of your garden building. It is also recommended that you make your base a little larger than the stated dimensions of the building (Approx. 15cm) simply for strength and allow a margin for error and finally apply a layer of gravel around your garden buildings this permits water to soak away more readily and prevents splash back onto the walls.

 

Most of our garden buildings are delivered untreated (unless stated otherwise)- it is important to protect your garden building against the effects of wood boring insects (and other insects) sun, water and u.v. light soon after installation. This should be done with the application of a good quality wood preservative as soon as possible, again after about 3 - 6 months, and then annually thereafter.

Legislation

 

In some cases there may be local authority, drainage and other considerations that relate to base preparation. We do not advise on any of these matter and you must ensure that any base preparation that you undertake complies with any and all legislation and regulations. The above information is advisory, it is not exhaustive and some or all of it may not apply in certain situations.
