It seems the innate dreams of most people aren't really all that diverse - don't most of us dream of a cozy little home in a beautiful garden; perhaps a log cabin, peaceful and picturesque, a place of refuge from the strife and worry of our daily lives. And you've decided to make this dream real at last - and yet are a little worried. You wonder, perhaps, if your new garden cabin will be hard to maintain, or whether maintenance costs will prove prohibitive, or whether you won't find it looking worn and unattractive in some years.

Actually, there's no need to worry at all - modern production techniques and use of the finest woods ensures that your log cabin will last from fifty to one hundred years, and the carefully textured materials will preserve that 'new' look for a long time to come.

But there are still a few things you can do to help maintain your beautiful garden cabin. It's nice to stain the wood from time to time, for example - this makes it last, and enhances the beauty of the grain. Applying some boric acid helps keep away insects and even termites. Keep the cabin dry of continuous seepage - rains and snows trouble the wood less than that continuous 'drip-drip' of leaking water. And as with any other structure, your cabin will need deck cleaning and sealing. And, for the obvious reason, you have to be extra careful about fires!

All this amounts to nothing more than loving care and simple maintenance - and that's all that's required. And the innovative and modern technologies that go into processing the wood for, and in creating your cabin will do the rest. So decorate your garden cabin, furnish it, and you will enjoy it's beauty for many years to come!
