Wherever you look, people seem to be converting their garages or bricking over their patios, as they seek to extend their homes. But we believe that garden log cabins offer you a much better solution.
Far more attractive and cost-effective than extensions or conversions, a good log cabin can be used for just about anything. Whether you need a home office, family garden room, business premises, or money-making Airbnb, a garden cabin fits the bill perfectly every time.
And, as house rental prices continue to rise, buying a log cabin could also be a godsend for your kids, offering them the independent living they crave, close to Mum and Dad, while they save up a deposit for a bricks and mortar home of their own.

The fully-glazed double doors are fitted with a laminated frame, stainless-steel sill, rubber seals and key-operated lock. They open up onto this 70mm log cabin’s main living area.

This felt has a life expectancy of over 15 years and is twice as tear-resistant as standard log cabin roofing felt.
You can gain easy access to the interior via wide double doors, which include double-glazed toughened glass and a key-operated lock, so rest assured that your valuable office equipment or studio tools will remain safe from unwanted attention.
