- Take off the foil and place the planks and beams apart from each other in a place where
they are not exposed to sun and rain.
- Check against the included packing list to ensure that all parts are present.
- It is important to restack the log cabin parts if assembly is not or cannot be carried out
immediately and to cover it with the foil that served as protection for the pallet so that
they are not exposed to sun and rain.

Assembly:
- Follow the assembly instructions / drawings carefully.
- It is important to have a foundation for the cabin.
You can choose between
• A foundation with ring joists
• Concrete tiles
• A concrete foundation beam or a concrete floor
- The junction between foundation and log cabin can be sealed with silicone.
- Provide sufficient ventilation in your log cabin.
Useful tips:
- Ensure that the base on which the log cabin is placed is firm and level.
- Ensure that the foundation and floor joists are placed several centimetres above
ground level.
- Make sure the log cabin is anchored to the base or foundation.
- Remember to insure your log cabin.
- Provide sufficient ventilation in your log cabin.
- Lubricate the lock once a year with graphite powder.
- Use soap to clean the acrylic glass. Never use an abrasive.
- The plastic foil can be used as a damp proof separating layer between foundation
and the log cabin.
- During unpacking of the pallet, you must separate the joists and wall logs prior to lifting
them up in order to prevent damage to the tongue and groove.
Maintenance:
- Prior to the assembly of the log cabin, you have to treat the tongue and groove of the
wall parts as well as the floor and roofing parts with a moisture resistant stain. You can
use the same stain for protection of the wood of the entire log cabin after assembly.
Repeating this treatment regularly will significantly prolong the life of your log cabin.
- Depending on the local conditions, it is best you treat the inside of the log cabin and the
door at least every three years with a moisture resistant stain that is suitable for indoor
and outdoor use. For more information contact your supplier.
Wood is a natural living product. This means that every piece of wood has a different
structure and pattern. It is quite normal that deviations can appear in wood; this gives
wood its natural charm.
Tolerable deviations:
- Knots grown into the wood
- Knots falling out with a maximum diameter of 4 cm
- Shavings, tree bark on the backside of roof and floor joists, provided that the visible
side can be assembled.
- Discolorations (these do not affect the life span)
- Cracks that do not affect the construction
- Resin pouches
- Warping and twisting, provided it does not affect the assembly
- Finger joints in sidewalls as well as doors and windows.
Guarantee
5 year guarantee, excluding hinges and locks.
Not covered by the guarantee are defects resulting from:
- A faulty foundation
- A foundation that is not level
- Non-observance of the assembly instructions
- Insufficient maintenance and use of a non-moisture resistant paint
- Faulty, not competently laid or insufficient roofing material
- Joining wall logs, window and door frames by screws or nails
- Damage as a result of not competently built up or altered installation
- The absence of and/or faulty attached roof anchoring (this is always part of the delivery)
- Natural disasters or other forceful influences

Note:
- Windows and doors are not offered as standard with real glass. If this does happen, and
any glass damage occurs, this cannot be claimed based on the delivery.
- Your log cabin has to be properly anchored against stormy weather conditions
- Insurance of your log cabin is, as a rule, not included in a standard house or household
policy. If desired you can insure your cabin against damages from outside, including
vandalism and stormy weather. Contact your insurance agent about the possibilities.
- Assembly instructions are included for any additional delivered accessories such as
porch, flower box, shutters, and additions.
Important! Possible causes of any occurring problems.
A. Crack forming in the walls:
Wood is alive and adjusts to changing weather conditions. In some areas this situation
occurs to an extreme. In extremely dry weather it can occur that a crack appears between
some of the wall logs. If this situation arises you have to act as follows:
Step 1: Remove the uppermost part of the doorframe on the inside of the door in order
to check if the beam underneath is still leaning on the doorframe. If this is the case,
follow steps 2 through 5. If this is not the case, contact Outdoor Life Group Nederland
B.V. or your dealer.
Step 2: In order to remove a crack, unscrew the cover of the doorframe on the inside
and remove the door and the frame.
Step 3: Using a saw increase the door opening at the top by ….cm (depending on the
size of the crack, but at most 1 cm).
Step 4: If the crack is still present, softly tap with a hammer on the roof above the corner
joint (use a rubber hammer) until the wall beams are back in their original positions.
Step 5: Replace door and windows.
B. Roof boards bulging:
Each roof board has to be attached with two nails per joint (side walls and roof beams). If
only one nail is used per joint, the roof board will move obliquely and upwards.
C. Damage of tongue and groove
It is possible that the tongue and grooves are partially damaged during transportation.
As long as the protection between tongue and groove is guaranteed during assembly, it
does not portray a reason to claim. Slight damage to the tongue and groove does not
affect the stability of your cabin.
IMPORTANT:
Information impregnation (brown / green / anthracite)
Through the process of “impregnation”, the percentage of moisture at the time of delivery
is relatively high. By introduction of moisture at the impregnation process, as a result, the
expansion of the timber will occur!
This means that the wall beams at the time of delivery and construction will be higher then
it’s original height. This could mean a few millimeters in height per wall beam
Therefore it is possible that during and after building of your cabin an larger open space
above your door and window frame is visible, which can be covered by the enclosed
strips (outside) the original height returns during the process of natural drying of the log
cabin, and will shrink in height (bags) that this open space will disappear. In a dry period
the “shrink-process” goes faster than in a wet period.
Incidentally, it is structurally necessary that an open space is present above the door and
window frame, to be able to cope with this differences in height of the log cabin in dry
and humid season periods.
Maintenance: impregnation gives initial protection against weather influences, you
must maintain your cabin on both the inside and outside regularly with a coat of wood
preservative / paint.
