Are garden log cabins water resistant is a query we got asked all the time here at View our products.

The very short simple answer to your question is a definite yes!

Why would they not be?

Well, let’s take a look at some of the likely problems with a timber cabin which would make the log cabin not water resistant and quite frankly not fit for purpose.The main thing to appear at instantly is the roof, that’s where you would envision the main issue would start (this is not always the situation but that’s where we will start today). The main issue with the roof would be to have the felt or roof shingles to not be installed successfully. This is quite easily done if this is something you have never done before and why it should always be carried out by a professional especially if you are investing a lot of your hard earned money on a timber cabin.

• Make sure that the overlies are overlapping in the ideal way. You should always start felting at the bottom of the building and felt upwards. By doing this you ensure that the felt overlies on top of the piece of felt that is further down the roof. This will ensure there is a natural run off of the water, if you start felting at the top of the roof and you put the overlap from the bottom pieces over the top of the felt higher up when the rain runs off it will operate underneath the felt and therefor cause a leak. This is precisely the same when doing shingles, make sure you place from bottom upwards.

• Make sure the overlies of the felt/shingles are quite generous. You don’t want them to be just barely overlapping because this could cause rainwater to get between the felt sheets and this will cause a leak

• Make sure you use more than enough felt nails. Ideally you want to be spacing the felt nails around 6 inches apart from each other. Always do this on both sides of the felt and dependent on the quality of the felt you are using possibly put another row of pin in the middle,possibly two rows but again this depends on the quality of the felt. Failure to put enough felt pin in there could result in the felt blowing off during a bad storm which would then leave your building subjected to leakages.

• It is in addition important that when you reach the overhang of the building with the felt you attach the felt to side of the roof but DO NOT tuck the felt underneath the overhang of the roof as this limits the natural run off of the water. This can cause early rotting of the building and in some scenarios cause the roof to leak around the top corners of the building as water could build up.

• Make sure you use the right size fixings. If the roof boards on your building are let’s say 10mm, you don’t want felt nails of 16mm. Doing this would cause the felt nails to come completely through the roof. This would not appear cosmetically pleasing and would in addition be a real opportunity of a leak in the building. They way felt is now designed,there should be a watertight seal around the nail but throughout the seasons with wear and tear this may fail resulting in a leak.

• The most commonly ignored area on a timber cabin building is the felt or shingles on the roof. This is mainly because we can’t see it most of the time and it’s a lot more difficult to get up there and have a look,but this is precisely what you should do and I would strongly recommend at least once a year or if you notice a leak. Because log cabins are not built as high as the normal house and the felt and shingles aren’t quite as tough and sturdy as a typical house tile they require a little more attention. They are subjected to more elements on a daily basis because they are lower, this can result in a number of things from falling debris from trees, or another instance would be a children’s toys getting thrown up there which would all cause damage to the felt/shingles. Not to mention lots of bird droppings can rot the felt if it is in an area where natural rainwater can not penetrate it to create a natural run off and cleaning system (for instance if your log cabin sits under a tree).

Timberdise place all of our log cabins, we do this because we know you are investing a lot of money into a timber cabin and you want it to be around for a long period of time. So the best way we can ensure this occurs is to take care of the installation and make sure it is installed successfully. We’ve been out to repair log cabins in the past built by non-skilled people and if the building is not put together successfully then number one it won’t be safe but in addition it could cause a failure in the building to be water resistant.

A prime instance of this would be that the logs haven’t been assembled successfully on the walls. This would then cause the log cabin to differ from the design as it was intended to be. At this point when the roof was installed there might be voids between the roof and the wall. Spaces could in addition appear on the walls of the log cabins themselves and in some situations if the initial build of the log cabin was so bad you would have no choice but to take down the log cabin and reconstruct it.

This is why Timberdise place all of our log cabins so you don’t have this to worry about. As you can envision if there is an opening in the wall or an opening between the roof and the wall this would leave the cabin open and it would most definitely leak which is what we want to avoid at all costs.

I in addition want to bring attention to the floor a second. Having your log cabin installed on a proper ground base is a must. That could be a Timberdise ground base,concrete base or a paved area. As long as they’re flat, level and solid you should be ok. Be mindful of where you put the cabin,don’t put it at any place that is at risk of flooding as just like the house that you live in. If the water level rises and there is no getaway for it then the log cabin will flood,that is regardless of how thick and tight your logs are.

Lastly let’s talk about sealants around the windows and doors. Make sure after you have treated your cabin you fit the relevant sealants around the doors and the windows. The cabins don’t come with these fitted as standard, this is so you can treat the cabin first and then apply the sealants afterwards. By not fitting the doors and windows with sealants then there’s a chance rainwater could penetrate the inside of the cabin, which again is easily fixed by applying sealants.

Additionally, sometimes especially during the winter months, condensation can develop inside a cabin. This is normal due to the cabins not having any insulation fitted, it is not a leak and can be quite normal. We recommend at Timberdise to get a dehumidifier if you have power access in there and leave it operating during the colder months. This will help take humidity out of the air and further increase the life-span of your cabin.

If you adhere to all the above tips you should have a leak free cabin for the duration of its life-span which can supply endless fulfillment and relaxation. Don’t forget prevention is far better than the treatment.

Using Winter Emojis while chatting with Arctic researchers can help you make your message more meaningful. Arctic temperatures can be extremely warm in January and February, and they may not be so cold in April. However, if you want to convey your message in a more empathetic way, you should consider using other Emojis, such as Snow-Capped Mountain or Wind Face. Below are some examples.

Snowboarder

If you want to impress an Arctic researcher, try using Snowboarder emojis. It’s easy to say a snowboarder, but he or she may not understand what you mean. In fact, most people don’t even know what a snowboarder looks like. But emojis can make you sound cooler and more personable. And if you’re chatting with a snowboarder, you might even impress them with your knowledge of snowboarding.

In a previous study, researchers at NASA used emojis to assess depression. Using snowboarder emojis increased the accuracy of the depression rating by 50%. Interestingly, even people with the same symptoms of depression were better able to identify it with the help of emojis. But how can you make the emojis work? Here are some guidelines: emojifacemasks

Snowflake

You can use Winter Emojis when chatting with Arctic scientists! While the weather in the Arctic can be very warm, it can also be very cold in January and February. The new emojis are expected to be released later this year as part of the Emoji 13.0 release. Smartphone manufacturers will implement the new emojis through a software update. These emojis are also expected to be available on Android phones this year.

Snowman

When you are chatting with Arctic researchers, make sure you use the appropriate emojis! The temperatures in the Arctic can be mild in January and February. But what happens when you’re chatting in January and February? If you don’t use the appropriate emojis, they might be confused by your expression and end up arguing with you. The good news is that you can use different emojis depending on the situation!

Skis

In a recent interview, I learned that many people wear skis when chatting with Arctic researchers. That’s because the snowy regions are the most difficult places to cross on foot. Luckily, there are several ways to get around without skis – from hiking to snowmobile riding. And the best way to stay warm? Wear a warm jacket and hat. I also wore skis to keep warm!

A ski with too much chatter is less stable when skiing at higher speeds. If you’ve ever had a chattering ski, you know the sound it makes. It’s the result of skis not absorbing energy, which leads to chattering in fast turns. However, there are ways to mitigate chattering by using stiffer skis made of several different materials. As a result, you’ll be able to control your skis better.

Gloves

While tourists in Antarctica will often be too cold to speak without gloves, they should consider wearing mittens or gloves for the same reason: to protect their hands. They will also need to use their fingers to take photos, so mittens or gloves with separate fingers are necessary. As a result, it is best to wear a high-quality pair of gloves. You can save a few dollars by buying a cheaper pair of gloves, but they won’t offer the same warmth or dexterity. Invest in a high-quality pair of inner gloves as well, which should have good wicking properties and excellent dexterity. Wool and synthetic materials are preferable, while cotton will restrict moisture flow. http://kiredu.ru/UserProfile/tabid/182/UserId/85616/Default.aspx

For those who prefer a less bulky barrier against the cold, light gloves are ideal. They will provide sufficient protection from wind and snow while allowing you to perform delicate tasks with your hands, such as picking your nose. A pair of technical gloves is recommended, such as those made by Outdoor Research. The BitterBlaze is a good example of such a glove. Its lightweight construction makes it a good choice for active people, and it is ideal for chatting with Arctic researchers.
