On structure & materials

Rural Leisure Limited interlocking rigid log cabins provide lasting pleasure and durability giving tranquility and peace of mind.

Design & Material selection

Our ranges of timber log cabins are made with a specially designed interlocking groove joint along the whole length of each log. At corners the wood is machined with a weather resistant cross-halved joint which adds further rigidity to the structure.

The floor is constructed with floor joists and covered by tongue and grooved floorboards. The roof is supported by full-length purloins at the ridge and mid–span positions and the walls at the eaves. Again the roof boards are tongue and grooved.

Wood is selected as, fine grained North-European Softwood (usually either Spruce or Pine) which is kiln dried but otherwise untreated.

Because of the peculiar combination of damp mild conditions in the UK it is therefore strongly recommended that the timber be treated on site with one of the many preservatives, which give protection against insect and fungal attack, and provides water resistance.

If preferred the cabins can be pre-treated in controlled conditions this may be an extra cost. A further two to three weeks should be added to the delivery period to cover the processing time and for the timber to dry slowly and reduce the number and size of shakes. After installation it would then be the customer’s responsibility to treat the outside of the cabin with a coating to provide a UV filter and water repellent.

Packaging & Delivery

Your cabin will be delivered to your property in a kit usually banded together on pallets. You will on request receive a full set of instructions consisting of a method statement, bill of goods, floor plan and location elevations.
