A lot of Wood!
I was expecting a HIAB lorry to turn up to off load, but the delivery guy was helpful (and willing to do it himself) and we we were done after around 45 minutes.
As the title says, you get a lot of wood for the money.
It took a bit of time to get my head around the instructions, sorting and identifying all the pieces but the paperwork was very detailed which helped.
After positioning the base and the first row of logs I had trouble making sure it was square as the entrance is open and you don't have a reference to measure both diagonals, luckily I had a large square available and used that and hoped it would do.
From then on it was just one on on top of the other (*all logs are individually marked but be aware 'I' and 'H' look similar!)
I built the door frame first which I think helped me make sense of the instructions for the windows and they all went in smoothly.
Due to it being wood, there were a few slightly warped beams but with a bit of persuasion and chiseling out of a middle bit of tongue they married up.
The roof beams went in easier than I thought they would and the roof was soon on nice and simple.
It took me 3 days to build this on my own which I am very happy with, although my wife did paint the doors, windows and frames for me prior to installing (as advised in the instructions)
Overall I was impressed with the quality of this product and would recommend it.

Can this be built with doors on right hand side
Asked by: Stevegrapes
Yes you can build a mirror image of square/rectangular cabins. The instructions say build the walls using the drawings facing the walls from the outside.
To build mirror image stand inside and face the walls to build.
