Protecting your log cabin from winter storms, heavy rain, and intense heat is essential to maintaining its structure and comfort. By following these weatherproofing tips, you can safeguard your home from the elements year-round.

Weatherproofing Tips

  1. Seal Gaps in Chinking or Caulking
    Inspect your cabin for cracks or gaps in the chinking or caulking and seal them to prevent drafts, leaks, and pest intrusion.

  2. Clean and Treat Wood
    Clean your logs thoroughly, then apply a protective treatment to help resist moisture damage and UV exposure.

  3. Inspect and Clean Gutters
    Regularly check your gutters for debris buildup to ensure proper drainage. Clogged gutters can lead to water damage and wood rot.

  4. Secure Outdoor Furniture and Décor
    Strong winds can turn unsecured items into projectiles. Store outdoor furniture, décor, and tools in a sheltered area to prevent damage.
