Bargain Log Cabins Installation Guide

If you are installing the Log Cabin yourself we recommend that you spend some time looking at the log cabin instructions and parts list. The parts list is specific to you building and shows idividual items, how many of each there is, a sketch of every part and a code to identify them. There is also a plan of the wall sections giving the parts required for building that elevation. We suggest that you sort your parts into piles of the same pieces if you can.

Lay the floor joists first, ensuring the correct spacing. Build the first logs of the walls by using 2 half logs and 2 full logs (see your instructions for details)  Follow your instructions to build the walls, making sure the positions of the  windows and doors are correct. (once high enough to support them you can  put them in)

Lay the logs according to your instructions making sure any longer logs go in the correct places. Fit the roof joists into the slots.  Clad the roof by nailing through the tongue and groove boards into the roof joists (the last boards may need cutting to size level with the roof length)
