Palmako Melanie 5.7m x 3m Corner Log Cabin Summer House (28mm)

Overview

The Palmako Melanie 5.7m x 3m Corner Log Cabin Summer House (28mm) is built to make the most of an awkward garden corner. Its angled corner footprint slots into space a standard rectangular building would waste, while still giving a full 5.7m x 3m of usable floor area. Constructed from solid 28mm interlocking log walls, it is part of Palmako’s established range sold through Sheds Direct. Whether a garden office, a hobby room or a quiet retreat, the corner design and apex roof make it practical where space is at a premium.

Roof Types

The Melanie is fitted with an apex roof, the traditional twin pitched shape used across the Palmako range. The pitch sheds rainwater quickly and gives more headroom than a flat roofed building of the same footprint, which matters where the angled front walls already reduce usable space at the edges.

Dimensions

• Footprint: 5.7m x 3m corner layout
• Wall construction: 28mm interlocking logs
• Roof style: apex
• Door: single door entry
• Please allow plus or minus 1mm on cladding and plus or minus 5mm on framing, as these are nominal measurements taken before machining

Construction

Solid 28mm interlocking log walls slot together without nails or screws, a traditional Scandinavian building method that creates naturally insulating, thermally efficient walls. The roof and floor are built to match the wall construction, giving a consistent finish throughout. Because the Melanie is a corner design, the log courses are mitred at the angled join, giving a neat finish where the two front walls meet.

Treatment & Guarantee

The cabin is supplied dip treated as standard. Re treat within 6 weeks of assembly, then annually thereafter, using a quality exterior wood preservative. For longer lasting protection, a pressure treated upgrade is available, backed by a 15 year anti rot guarantee.

Doors & Windows / Security

Entry is via a single door, with windows fitted around the cabin to bring in natural light and open for ventilation. All glazing uses toughened safety glass, and the door is supplied with a lock as standard.

Assembly Information

The Melanie arrives flat packed with full assembly instructions. At least two people are recommended, and the interlocking log system means the walls go up without specialist tools.

Free delivery is included to most UK addresses. Some remote postcodes may attract a surcharge, so check the cost at checkout.

Optional Upgrades

• Pressure treated timber upgrade with 15 year anti rot guarantee
