Care
Renovation and maintenance
P ro p er maintenance will extend the life of your cabin . Just as with your own
house, the p aintwork is a crucial element of maintenance . A ll timber elements
require maintenance . I n the long run you will get more p leasure from your
p urchase if you maintain it p ro p erly .
We would advise the following treatment for your cabin:
C arry out maintenance before the old coat of stain or p aint is badly weathered .
D e p ending on its condition, the surface may require one or two coats of stain
or p aint . I f most of the stain or p aint has already weathered away, the surface
should be well sanded .

D o not walk on the roofing shingles or roofing felt during hot, sunny weather, to
p revent footmarks .

still stands level .

cabin .
• A void p lacing heavy objects against the walls, to p revent deformation of the
structure .
• K ee p the doors and windows closed to avoid wind damage .

ex p ansion and contraction of the timber .
