6.9 We will not be liable for damage or damp occurring to the cabin, it is an outdoor product and needs to be properly treated and cared for.

7. Fitting and Installation

7.1 If an installation service is available, and has been requested, you must ensure that a flat, level and square base/foundation, capable of carrying considerable weight, has been provided before installation can commence. The base should be made to the floor plan size as shown on your build plans that are issued when the deposit has been paid. Ideally end of log to end of log dimensions.

7.2 The site should be clear of overhanging branches or obstructions, and have sufficient unobstructed access (minimum 600mm) around the site for the safe erecting and maintenance of the building.

7.3 If the base does not meet the required standards when our build crew arrive on-site, a charge of £500 will be payable to cover labour costs. Should you require a return installation service, this charge must be paid prior to the subsequent visit being made. On the day of the fitting, we require access to the plot, If the access is restricted or access to the plot is unavailable, causing a cancellation on the day of fitting, a charge of £500 will be incurred to cover the lost labour costs.

7.4 You must ensure that the installer’s vehicle can be parked as close as possible to the installation site. If a parking area cannot be located nearby the site, the installation may be abandoned and a return charge may be made. ‘The Customer’ will be liable for any costs incurred by the installation team (metered parking etc.) during the installation period.

7.5 Any damage or fault must be reported at time of construction otherwise you will not be able to claim for replacement parts thereafter. Customers are required to thoroughly check the cabin after construction is complete for any damage or fault and will be required to sign a confirmation document on completion.

7.6 If you have requested a gutter fitting service, once completed will be wet tested and form part of the satisfactory completion of the cabin. Subsequent adjustment or leaks will be the customer’s responsibility.

7.7 Timber products are natural and are subject to movement, this is not a defect. Adjustments may be needed to the windows and doors which are the customer’s responsibility.

7.8 Cabins and windows and doors are delivered on wrapped pallets. Cabins also come with spare logs and trimming sections that may be left over after the build. Customers are responsible for the disposal of any pallets, packaging or spare unwanted materials. This applies even if you have requested a cabin fitting service. Please let us know if you would like the waste removed which will be an additional charge.

8. Timber Products

You accept that wood is a natural material. It differs from man-made materials each piece of timber will have grains and knots which will vary. Being a natural product wood will react to changes in atmospheric conditions. Wood will expand and contract. Most of this movement is across the grain of the wood so height dimensions will vary according to moisture content. All height dimensions are exclusive of any externally fitted roof insulation and based at 16% moisture content of the wood. Some splitting of the timber may occur as it expands and contracts with changes of humidity and temperature. Many cabin kits will show some warp and twist in boards. This is more pronounced in thicker boards. It is common to see some damage to tongues and grooves on boards when unpacking.

The above processes are perfectly natural and do not affect the integrity of the timber or of the structure it is used in and therefore splitting, cracks & knots, expansion and contraction and any other feature / processes that are as a result of wood being a natural product etc are not covered by any guarantee. All dimensions are shown as within reasonable acceptable tolerances for the product sold.

All buildings are ordered and supplied on the basis that their actual dimensions, weights and descriptions are within reasonable tolerances of those stated given the nature of the product of a timber log cabin. There will be factory accepted tolerances on most of the above which you agree to accept by making the purchase.

During extremes of temperatures and weather, timber may twist out of shape, this is due to moisture content changing in the wood. This is not a defect and can normally be coerced into position and held whilst the rest of the cabin is built to lock all logs into position.

9. You MUST

9.1 Ensure that the cabin is installed on a flat, level surface.

9.2 Fit a suitable waterproof roof covering immediately once erected.

9.3 Treat the cabin with a stain or wood preservative within 7 days of erecting the cabin.

9.4 Install guttering within 7 days of erecting the cabin.

10. Warranty:

10.1 We offer a 6 month warranty on any hardware supplied with the cabin, we offer a 1 year warranty on the structure of the cabin whilst still considering point 8 above. We strongly recommend that cabins are treated with an oil based paint or stain annually.

You agree that we do not offer or imply any warranty on any product unless specifically stated in the product text as shown on this web site. Any warranty such as may exist is a manufacturers limited warranty and all warranty issues shall be deemed and governed by the Manufacturer. Warranty is always based on full compliance with manufacturer’s recommendations for assembly, treatment, maintenance and use and is always limited to the original purchaser for UK domestic use only.

10.2 In the Event of any part being replaced under a warranty it is your responsibility to fit that part.

11. Invalidity

12. Third party rights

Except for our affiliates, directors, employees or representatives, a person who is not a party to this agreement has no right under the UK Contracts (rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this agreement but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party that exists or is available apart from that Act.
