Essential Cabin Maintenance Tips

Once you have your cabin building, you will want to be sure and properly maintain it to keep it looking its best. Fall is a good time of year to practice some routine wood cabin maintenance that keeps a cabin building sound, solid and looking its best. Sunlight and water are a logs' greatest enemies, with both constantly attacking the logs, degrading the finishes and breaking down the seals and coatings. Also, the wear and tear of constant use of appliances can wreak havoc on equipment and the cabin building appliances. Setting aside a weekend or two before the cold winter months set in can keep all of these problems at bay. You will want to practice a fall maintenance routine to keep your wood cabin in top condition.

Inspecting Your Cabin's Exterior

Take a walk and circle your cabin building and inspect its exterior finish and seals. The logs on your log house should still have most of the color that you originally applied. If you used a clear finish, the logs should still have its natural luster. Logs that have turned a black color or a dingy gray have lost their protective finish, which exposes the logs to degrading ultraviolet light and moisture. Make sure to pay special attention to logs and wood trim that are close to the ground. Any splashing from the heavy rain or constant soaking from last winter's melting snow may make these particular areas especially susceptible to wood damage, and rot. While you are examining the exterior logs, you'll want to take a look at the seals between them.
