Construction
The cabin is built using thick 45mm interlocking logs of kiln-dried timber, providing both aesthetic appeal and exceptional durability. The log construction offers excellent natural insulation, making this an energy-efficient option compared to standard garden sheds. The 19mm tongue and groove timber boards used for both roof and floor are engineered to withstand years of furniture weight and heavy footfall. Pressure treated floor bearers provide additional support and increased resistance to damp, a crucial feature for a cabin in the UK climate.
Treatment & Guarantee
The timber is supplied untreated and requires a preservative to be applied upon assembly. This allows you to choose the specific treatment colour and type to match your garden aesthetic. The Premium Felt roof covering is included and backed by a 15-year life expectancy, with upgrade options available for even longer durability.
Doors & Windows
Access is via glazed double doors fitted with a key-operated rim lock for security. Four long windows provide additional light and ventilation, two positioned to the front and one on each side of the cabin. All windows feature a modern tilt and turn opening mechanism for easy operation and ventilation control. The toughened real glass double glazing throughout improves insulation and security, making this log cabin suitable for use throughout the year.
