About
The timber framed base will add a solid foundation for your shed or summerhouse to sit directly onto without the need to lay flags or concrete.
Our bases use pressure treated 3" x 2" timbers which makes them extremely cost effective to flagging or concreting. The framed base can go directly onto all types of ground including grass, soil, stone chipping, uneven and unlevel ground. All fixtures and fitting are supplied for assembly
If you have a flag or concrete base ready laid we still strongly recommend the use of timber bearers.
Why should I use pressure treated base?
Naturally rain water will travel underneath your garden building and rest, slowly rotting away the treatment. We might paint our buildings regularly but never re-treat the underside of the floor. Simply by raising your garden building up of the ground, your floor is free of any rainwater and damp. Air can flow freely allowing the underneath to breath, also eliminating any rising damp.
What are ground stakes and do I need them?
These are pressure treated timbers, 16" (approx 14cm) spiked at one end enabling you to knock them into your soft ground. This will support the frame from sinking and also allow you to level your base at the required height. If you have hard standing ground ie. flags or concrete these can also be used as legs to level your base.

Timber

Foundations
For safety reasons and to help prolong the life span of the floor it is essential your building is assembled on a suitable, solid base which is level and square to warrant your gauruntee. Here at MAP Garden Furnishings we recommend a flag or concrete base, tantalised timber bearers are also suitable.

FAQS (Log Cabins)
Q. ARE THE LOG CABINS TREATED?
A. All Shire log cabins are untreated as standard and will require a good water repellent wood stain on all external timbers. The floor joists are pre-treated using a pressure treatment.
Q. HOW ARE THE LOG CABINS DELIVERED?
A. All log cabins are pre-packaged with all fixtures, fittings & instructions inside. Depending on the size of the log cabin they are usually unloaded using a hi-ab lorry or hand lifted off in pieces. Delivery is kerbside so please bear in mind vehicle access, parked cars, road works etc. when accepting your delivery. If you have any special requirements with your delivery please contact us prior to accepting.
Q. CAN YOU HAVE ELECTRICITY IN A PINE LOG CABIN?
A. Yes, it is quite simple but we recommend using a qualified electrician.
Q. ARE LOG CABINS SUITABLE FOR USE AS A HOME OFFICE, GYM, LEISURE BUILDING, SHOP OR AS AN EXTRA ROOM?
A. Yes, log cabins are designed to suit your requirements. We recommend you consider the thickness of log for your purpose, for example a thicker log will help reduce noise and increase warmth. You can also add extra insulation to the roof & floor, add electric heaters, carpets and laminate flooring to give that added warmth & comfort.
Q. CAN I ALTER THE SIZE OF A LOG CABIN OR CHANGE THE DOORS/WINDOWS OR/ADD A PARTITION WALL?
A. Yes pine log cabins can be altered to meet your specific requirements. We can work with you to design your building to meet your demands.
