How to Construct A Finnlife Log Cabin

Those long summer afternoons may be coming, but don’t rush to construct your Finnlife Log Cabin. Take the time to figure out how it goes together, and you’ll savour many years of trouble-free pleasure. No construction abilities are required. Anyone can build a Finnlife log cabin, although some tasks may need more than one pair of hands. Build times will alter depending on your skills and the number of people who help you. Of course you don’t need to do it alone!

You could show this document to a carpenter then sit back until he delivers the keys to your completed Finnlife Cabin. However, whoever finishes the task, the first step is to familiarise yourself with these instructions. The knack is to be systematic and to foresee the work ahead. Though Finnlife log cabins share many features in common, each model style is exceptional. This set of overall instructions cover the basics of wooden cabin construction and apply to all Finnlife cabins.

For features that are unique to your Finnlife Cabin – such as dimensions, component numbers, building plans and component lists – you should refer to the separate Building Plans and Parts List. If you are building cabins Finnlife Helppo, Finnlife Helsinki, Finnlife Joki, Finnlife Kesa, Finnlife Pori, Finnlife Seita and Finnlife Valo be aware that certain instructions maydiffer slightly from those found here.

Concrete option: Remove all organic material prior to starting work on the foundations. Concrete foundations should always be the accurate base size detailed in the Parts List and Plans instructions to minimize the amount of water that the base will hold. It is suggested that the concrete base be six inches thick.

Foundations and preparation: You can build your Finnlife Cabin on foundations of concrete or on dense gravel. Whichever option you choose, a solid and level base is important. Care spent on the foundations is well spent. An uneven or unstable base may well affect the final outcome of the Finnlife Cabin. Doors and windows will not fit properly, walls may stoop and joints may not fit together.

Before you begin to build you should ensure that you have a complete set of components. Check off every component against the component list in the Building Plans and Parts List as you remove it from the transit packaging. In the unlikely event that there is a missing component or that a component has been broken in transit get in touch with the distributor, stating the Finnlife Cabin reference number displayed on the packing label of the transit packaging. As you check off every component lay them out on the ground around the site of the log cabin. Put every component close to where it will be utilized. Laying out helps you see how the Finnlife Cabin is built and it means that components are ready to hand when you need them. You can utilize the Building Plans and Parts List as a guide to what goes where. Be wary not to lay components too close to the Finnlife Cabin footprint. Give yourself sufficient space to work in.

Lay out the four sides of the door frame on a clean and level area so that the doors open outwards. Loosely place them to match the completed frame. The top and bottom jambs are not quite identical. Place the one with the Lock RECESS AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM. Ensure that the door cills go behind the doors. Slot the joints together loosely and ensure THAT YOU CAN STILL OPEN THE DOORS before moving on.

Wall boards have been machined for a perfect fit. Before you use a wall board, it’s a good idea to running a stiff-bristled brush along the grooves and poking the bristles into the joints to remove any remaining sawdust. Dust-free joints ensure a better fit. Walls are built by laying wall boards in alternate layers at right angles to each other. Now adjust the position of the underlying, furthest floor beams. Slide them in a touch so that they do not extend externally past the edge of the wall, clear on the interior face of the wallboard. The adjustment creates a lip on which the log cabin floorboards will eventually sit.

Set up door frames after you have laid 3 layers of short wall boards in the relevant walls of your cabin. The door frames come as complete units with wide grooves cut into the architraves. Slide the frames vertically into the proper gaps so that the ends of the wall boards fit the grooves. Tap the door frames lightly from above to make sure they go all the way to the bottom, but be careful not to exert too much pressure or to twist or distort the frames. Check that the doors open outwards effectively. Set up door frames after you have laid 3 layers of short wall boards in the relevant walls of your cabin. Check that the door frames are square and vertical before you continue to erect the cabin walls. Mis-aligned doors will not open properly. Attach handles to the doors.

It’s simple to figure out which way round your windows should go: the outer face has a wider cross-section and the top architrave is longer than the one at the bottom. When you have laid the number of boards indicated on your Building Plans and Parts List, start laying shorter-length boards in the walls that contain windows until you have a window-sized gap two or three layers deep.

Windows arrive as finished units with wide grooves similar to those on the door frames. Slide them vertically into the gaps between the wall boards.Hit lightly from above to make sure they go all the way down. Be careful not to twist or distort the windows. Check that the windows open outwards and that the frames are square and vertical. Misaligned windows will not open properly.

Lay ridge shingles precisely over the ridge without creasing. Start from the front of the cabin by placing a ridge shingle evenly across the roof ridge so that the tip of the green edge is flushed with the leading edge of the roof boards. Secure by driving two clout nails through the black bitumen on either side of the roof ridge. Lay the second and subsequent ridge shingles so that the green half completely covers the bitumen of the preceding shingle. In each case, drive clout nails through the black bitumen to secure. You will have laid the ending ridge shingle when there is no black bitumen showing after you have trimmed it flushed with the rear gable. Nail it to secure.
