“Happy with purchase overall 19mm Drew 300 Log Cabin”

★★★★☆

Placed order and got lucky, it was here inside a week! Delivery is unwrapped on lorry and passed to you on the curb in pieces - Daunting for some but hey, stack carefully and keep it dry.

Okay, so overall quite pleased. There are one or two things I think are worth pointing out. Firstly make sure you buy the additional protection / stain was enough for 3 coats as it will need it and secondly I recommend felting the roof as well as using felt shingles on top of this too. Frankly it's a no brainer as the felt I got delivered isn't really that good if you want a full proof roof seal. Few of the logs needed a bit of attention with 1 or 2 notches not being quite big enough but a chisel at hand is a must for this but wasn't a real issue.

The floor was soft and bouncy so use lots of 4x2 water treated base, Celotex was used underneath as insulation. But I believe you should couple the provided floor with ply on top as I did (2 floors). Doing this will give you rock solid floor.

All in all, good value for money – Just buy the stain, decent roof shingles and good felt and you can't go wrong. I've added insulation to floor, walls and ceiling as well as plasterboard and it's gone in well. I did add larger batons for the walls for adding insulation and plasterboard and this has made the place very sturdy. Hindsite I would have asked for no windows as I found this to be a weak point - Since fitting heavier duty batons it's fine - Very Happy.
