Your garden log cabin is more than just an outdoor structure; it's an extension of your home, a space for relaxation, creativity, and enjoyment. While much attention is often paid to the exterior maintenance of log cabins, the treatment of internal surfaces is equally essential for longevity and aesthetics.
Moisture Protection: Wood is susceptible to moisture absorption, which can lead to warping, rotting, and mould growth. Treating internal surfaces helps create a barrier against moisture, ensuring the structural integrity of your cabin.
Preventing Decay: Untreated wood is vulnerable to decay caused by fungi and insects. By applying appropriate treatments, you can safeguard the internal surfaces of your cabin against these destructive forces.
Enhanced Aesthetics: A well-treated interior not only protects the wood but also enhances its natural beauty. Treatments such as staining or varnishing can enrich the colour and texture of the wood, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Improved Indoor Air Quality: Some wood treatments contain additives that can help improve indoor air quality by reducing the presence of harmful pollutants and allergens.
Choose the Right Products: Select treatments specifically designed for interior wood surfaces. Consider factors such as durability, ease of application, and environmental impact.
Prepare the Surface: Proper preparation is crucial for effective treatment. Clean the surfaces thoroughly to remove dirt, dust, and any existing coatings. Sanding may be necessary to smoothen rough areas.
Apply Treatment Evenly: Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully when applying the treatment. Ensure even coverage and allow sufficient drying time between coats.
Monitor and Maintain: Regularly inspect the internal surfaces of your cabin for signs of wear or damage. Touch up areas as needed and reapply treatments periodically to maintain protection and aesthetics.
Longevity: Properly treated internal surfaces can significantly extend the lifespan of your garden log cabin, saving you time and money on repairs and replacements.
Enhanced Appearance: A well-maintained interior enhances the overall look and feel of your cabin, creating a welcoming environment for relaxation and leisure activities.
Protection Against Damage: By effectively repelling moisture and preventing decay, treated internal surfaces provide robust protection against common sources of wood damage.
Increased Value: A well-maintained garden log cabin with treated internal surfaces is more attractive to potential buyers should you ever decide to sell your property.
Investing time and effort into treating the internal surfaces of your garden log cabin is a worthwhile endeavour that pays dividends in terms of longevity, aesthetics, and overall enjoyment. By following these tips and prioritising maintenance, you can ensure that your cabin remains a cherished retreat for years to come.

Delivery was efficient, all well packaged and protected from damage. Constructed by three of us in one and a half days. Everything fitted perfectly and needed gentle mallet to locate exactly. Instruction book was clear simple and explicit. Thoroughly delighted with the construction and the finish. Very pleased that Martin was able to redraw the design to our specification. Delighted with the whole thing, finish, price and service. Thanks Martin.

Great quality item with simple, concise instructions, easily constructed by the family. Great delivery service. However, the customer service from Garden Adventure was not great; the cabin was a month late arriving, we had to chase for information regarding this as none was forthcoming. The incorrect bearers arrived and although we received a refund we had to chase for this. Not sure I would recommend them but the cabin materials were great.

Seamless ordering, Martin was extremely helpful with all my questions. Delivery was also fantastic with the delivery guy very helpful (it's a big delivery). Took me and elderly father in law 2 days to get it all up and built/weather tight, went together very easily with no issues. I went for the shingle roof, it still came also with felt which could be used as roof underlay. For spec I went for the superior level glazing with toughened glass, also went for the larger logs (68mm) and glad I did as feels so sturdy/insulated although am sure the 44mm would be great also. I Insulated the floor with celotex, could have done the roof but as this is a garden room rather than office etc I didn't go that far. Overall a highly recommended product, for what you get I think it's a very competitive price, much better than others I had seen that weren't so good. The only parts I bought myself were the insulation and guttering (and paint/preserve of course). I want it to last so did two coats of preserve, knotting and two of paint, also have a sealant to go on which is yet to be done. A sprayer really helped/cut down on time. Would not hesitate in recommending Martin to purchase through, helpful all through the process and very quick to respond. 5*

Great cabin. Excellent quality. From the initial ordering and having it customised to my specs, to screwing on the last piece of trim this has been a pleasure. Straight forward to assemble. Had everything but the roof covering done in a day on account of how well it went together. Sturdy high quality build. Could not be happier. This company have been an absolute pleasure to deal with. Top marks 👍

Really pleased with our log cabin! Can't believe the quality of the wood. It took the installation team (Lee Stuart and 3 others who were recommended by Martin) 6.5 hours which was really impressive given the weather conditions on the day, and even they said how good the quality was. It is so warm inside and we didn't even have the insulation installed. Great correspondence from Martin from the start to keep us in the loop regarding production and delivery times. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thanks Martin!
