Tools for log cabins

When constructing and maintaining log cabins, it is important to use the correct tools. These can range from basic items which have been used for hundreds of years, to the newer versions of these which are much more high tech.

Some of the most rudimentary devices needed to keep outdoor huts and gazebos in good order include a ruler and a mallet. These are essential to ensure that any loose, wooden planks can be hammered securely back in place and returned evenly without any misalignments. 

When parts of hot tub garden rooms for example, need replacing such as the windows, a tape measure is always needed. Replacement components must be measured correctly to guarantee a quick and easy refit. A retractable knife can be used for a whole range of tasks both inside and outside log cabins such as barbeque sheds ranging from slicing open packaging to cutting up carpets and other flooring.

A cordless drill and screwdriver are portable and can be used in any part of the garden cabin room, even the off-grid varieties which have no mains power. Removing and replacing screws in log cabins is much easier with these tools and the more powerful they are, the quicker repair tasks can be carried out. To make sure every piece of wood is cut to exactly the same dimensions, a notch jig is needed.
