FAQs

We live and breathe log cabins all day, so for whatever might come up we think we have a solution.

Here you will find answers to the most commonly asked questions about the SAM10.

THE GOOD LIFE STARTS HERE

The term "Garden Shed" really does not do our beautiful timber log cabin any justice.  Our surprisingly affordable OSCAR 20 and its smaller brother SAM10 will add incredible value, lifestyle and WOW factor to your home. Already during the construction you will be the envy of your neighbors - there is something mystical about building a she-shed or man-cave in solid timber logs.  They are simply in a league of their own, in every aspect.


PRE DRILLED ELECTRICAL HOLES

The SAM10 cabin comes in industry leading full 50mm thick solid timber logs - this enables us to supply your cabin kit set with hidden 20mm electrical holes pre drilled through the centre of the logs.  There are 8 of these evenly spaced out all around the cabin enabling you to run power points, switches and lights where you want them - without ugly plastic surface conduits showing on your cabin walls!

AUSTRALIAN COLORBOND ROOFING

European made log cabin garden sheds are often supplied with basic bitumen roofing.  While this is ok to use on basic models like our GRETTEL10 we are offering Australian made COLORBOND metal sheet roofing for all our residential grade "garden sheds" in the colour of your choice.

You also always get roof insulation with a minimum rating of R1.3 and super strong metal "top hat" battens.

Double Glazed WINDOWS

Whilst double glazed windows are the norm in Europe, they are still a rarity in Oz.  All our windows are double glazed.

  BUT - also very important is the locking hardware that comes with your cabin window(s).

The SAM10 cabin comes with true "Tilt'n'Turn" opening windows operated by the main window handle only, in one smooth motion (rather than via clumsy three-step individually adjustable fittings).

ENTRY DOORS

All our main entry doors come with double glazed glass panels, rubber seals and three fully adjustable hinges to guarantee a perfect fit.

  BUT - again very important is the locking hardware that comes with your cabin door.

We only supply heavy duty European made locking mechanisms made for entry doors (rather than using cheaper internal door locks).



IT'S LIKE PLAYING WITH LEGO

Your flat-pack cabin kit comes with everything you need to guarantee the authentic log cabin look inside and out.

Please find below a couple of drawings that you might find helpful.  What you see is exactly what you get with your SAM10 cabin kit.

There are only two items that you need to source locally - the foundation and the corrugated iron roofing.  If you decide to build your SAM10 yourself, we will supply you with detailed instructions and a materials list so you are off to a flying start - OR you can get us to supply everything, we are here to help!

3.15M x 3.15M SQUARE SHED

The SAM 10 has a footprint of under 10sqm so it can be erected in any backyard.  Being square the window can be placed in either the left or the right side wall - you choose!  And YES - we stock additional windows that can be installed in any wall!

SOLID TIMBER LOGS

The SAM 10 is very strongly built, and the solid 50mm thick timber logs allow you to easily fit out the inside with whatever you desire.

We know you are clever !

We think that building your own log cabin is the second most exciting thing you can do in your leisure time.... it can easily be done by any handyman, following the instructions supplied.  And of course we are with you every step of the way!

No Council approval needed

There are of course still some basic rules that apply such as keeping 1-meter away from any fence, prepare a good solid suitable foundation and follow the instructions supplied.

DELIVERY WITHIN 14 DAYS

In most cases qicker actually!  We endeavour to never run out of the SAM10 - flat packed pallets are in our warehouse ready to go - all you need to do is "say the word"...

and FOR THE BUSY BEES...

If "swinging the hammer" just isn't your thing - why not leave it all up to us?  We will have your new SAM 10 up and ready in a few days.  Your only challenge left is to decide on the fit out, and to think of a clever name for your shed!

PATHWAY GUIDE - STEP BY STEP - "Fully Installed"

We are with you every step of the way - from when you first get in touch with us to the moment we hand you your keys.  We take into account your personal circumstances, listen to your design wishes and work with your site conditions.  So get in touch with us today, we are ready and able.

STEP 1: CHOOSE YOUR FOUNDATION

Concrete base / steel base / pavers?  Ideally your SAM10 should be placed on a steel base, which raises your log cabin off the ground and is ideal for sloping sites.  Log Cabins can also be placed on pavers, or on a concrete slab. 

STEP 2: SITE INSPECTION BY OUR TEAM

Really the best way to start... We are more than happy to meet you at your building site.  This will not only establish the type of foundation needed, but also help to decide the orientation of your cabin, which way you want your window(s) to face, the position on your land and the like.

STEP 3: FINAL QUOTE

Then we give our calculators a work-out. Armed with the info from the site inspection, we go through all costings and provide you with a final quote.  Once you are happy and give us the go-ahead we will immediately start organising the construction of your new SAM10 in the shortest possible time frame.

STEP 4: INSTALLATION

A flurry of activity. From the moment we start working on your project there will be activity on your site.  We might need storage at your site out of the elements, for both the cabin and other materials and tools, and we will need access for our vehicles and to your beer fridge (just kidding!).

STEP 5: ENJOY YOUR NEW SPACE

That's the fun part for you! The moment we hand you the keys you are ready to move in and fit out your new SAM10 log cabin.  AND - don't forget to think of a nifty name for your shed - we will install a timber sign for you at the main entrance.

STEP 6: ANNUAL MAINTENANCE PROGRAM

Of course you want to maintain the beauty of your now garden log cabin.  We offer an annual maintenance program that will ensure that your cabin will look it's best at all times.  It's quite simple really, we get in touch with you every 12 months or so and book an inspection with you.  We advise if anything needs to get done, and provide you with a quote for the works.  So you have total peace of mind.  And in case you have any concerns in between service calls just give us a ring.

FAQ'S

Frequently asked questions...

  • Can I put up my SAM10 by myself?

    YES - anyone with basic handyman skills can do this, it really isn't complicated.  You will receive detailed instructions and we are always available for advice.

  • How quickly can I get my SAM10 delivered?

    We always aim to have this model in stock, ready-to-go from our warehouses in QLD and NSW.  It will always take a few days to get the cabin to you depending on your location, but that's ok - you can use the time to prepare the fondations and get other materials on site.

  • Why do I have to organise the roofing and foundation myself?

    You will only need to do this when you buy your SAM10 as a flat pack kit - if you opt for any of the other three pricing options incl. the "fully installed" version we will take care of this.  Some items that would normally come with your cabin kit cost considerably more when being imported from Europe than when sourced for locally.  It makes no sense i.e. to buy corrugated iron overseas at over double the price of locally produced roofing - so we took these items out and reduced the price of your SAM10 accordingly.

  • What is the best foundation for my SAM10 ?

    This very much depends on your site conditions, and on your budget.   The best foundation is a concrete slab, though this will add to your build costs.  Placing your SAM10 on pavers is the next best thing, or may be on a steel base topped by a treated pine or hardwood timber base - let's chat!

  • How about termites?

    Good question - they are pesty little critters!  But they can be stopped.  We recommend to treat the first 3 layers of logs with a suitable pest treatment, either oil or water based.  We will help you with this step, too!

  • Where does the timber come from?

    There are vast pine plantations in the Baltic States of Europe.  These were planted in the 80s when Russia was still in control.  The Baltic States gained their independance in the early 90s and joined the European Union.  Over the past 30+ years millions of Baltic Pine (also called "Scots Pine") trees have matured and are now being harvested and used in the construction of our cabins.   Guess where IKEA gets their timber from?  Some of the timber used is also imported from Finland and Poland..
