Palmako Buying Guide

 

Part of Estonia’s Lemeks Group, Palmako is a company with more than 23 years’ experience of designing and building log cabins, as well as other high-quality, wooden garden buildings.

Who Are Palmako?


Thanks to the best raw materials, high-tech production plants and a very skilled workforce, Palmako products are universally considered to be amongst the best on the market. The company has branches in the UK and throughout Europe.

 

With impeccable environmental credentials and FSC®-certification on all of their wood, it’s understandable that Palmako is a particularly popular brand with ethical, forward-thinking consumers. Shop the Palmako brand.
 

Palmako’s wide range of garden structures include log cabins, summerhouses, garden offices, sheds, garden bars, wooden garages, carports and gazebos.

 

Let’s take a look at what you can expect from these products. Firstly, we’ll talk you through the main features found on Palmako’s log cabins, summerhouses, sheds, garages and other fully-enclosed garden buildings. Then, we’ll examine their carports, gazebos and other open-sided structures.
 

 

Palmako Garden Buildings

 

Supremely solid, comfortable and weatherproof, Palmako garden buildings are ideal for work, rest or play.

 

Garden Building Cladding

A garden building’s walls are referred to as its ‘cladding’. This measurement is usually provided in millimetres.

 

For log cabins, we show it in brackets at the end of the product name. With other garden buildings, you will find it in the detailed specification on the relevant product page.

 

Generally speaking, the thicker the cladding, the better the insulation. Thicker walls make for a stronger, more secure structure too. As many Palmako garden buildings boast exceptionally thick cladding, it’s not hard to see why they are viewed as premium.

 

What’s more, Palmako uses the finest interlocking Nordic spruce logs, so their products will last a lifetime when properly cared for.

 

Their sheds come with a tongue and groove design too, ensuring exceptional strength, durability and weathertightness.

 

For log cabins and garden offices, we advise choosing wall cladding at least 44mm thick to provide comfortable year-round usage.

 

You’ll have no problem at all finding a Palmako garden building to meet this requirement.

 

Palmako Best Buy 1


Featuring a charming design, 44mm Nordic spruce interlocking log walls, and double glazing throughout, this stunning log cabin makes the ideal home office or garden retreat.

 

Other key features include a 19mm tongue and groove floor and roof, added wind braces, window gutters and a 5-year manufacturer’s guarantee.

Floor and Roof

Palmako garden buildings are built with tongue and groove floors and roofs, so are far better quality than the norm. Again, the thicker these features, the stronger and better insulated you will find them.

 

However, Palmako roofs are not supplied with a roof cover, so you will need to select one as an optional upgrade. Don’t worry about incurring hidden charges because our website clearly shows the total cost of the garden building + roof cover when you make your selection on the product page.

 

Depending on the garden building concerned, you will have up to 4 choices of roof covering:

 

Roof Underlay Felt


Roof Underlay Felt is easy to nail on to the roof but should only be used as a temporary roof covering or as an underlay to another material.

 

EPDM


This consists of a thick sheet of weatherproof rubber, which makes a high-quality, long-lasting roof cover. Installation should only be carried out by those with advanced DIY skills or a professional installer.

 

SBS


SBS is a thick, torch-on weatherproof felt with a very long lifespan. Again, installation should only be carried out by those with advanced DIY skills or a professional installer.

 

Charcoal Felt Roof Shingles


Charcoal Felt Roof Shingles are attractive, easy to fit and will last for years.

 

Which Roof Covering Is Best?


While charcoal felt shingles are the easiest of the permanent weatherproof covers to instal, EPDM and SBS provide equally good weatherproof protection. Remember, though, roof felt underlay should only ever be used as a temporary solution or in conjunction with another material.

Palmako Garden Buildings’ Glazing

Palmako log cabins and summerhouses are fitted with either toughened safety glass or double glazing, depending on the model in question.

 

Their shed windows are usually made from plexiglass, which is tougher and even clearer than conventional glass.

 

Other Key Features on Palmako Garden Buildings

As you’d expect with garden buildings of this quality, Palmako products come with many other premium features as standard too.

 

This often includes (but is by no means limited to) laminated door frames, stainless steel sill covers, rubber window seals and key-operated locks.

 

What’s more, every Palmako garden building is supplied with a 5-year parts guarantee.

Palmako Open-Sided Garden Structures: Carports

 

As Palmako garden bars and kiosks are built using the same principles as their other garden buildings, we’ll now move onto their open-sided garden structures.

Palmako Carports


Because of the sheer quality of a Palmako carport, you should consider them a genuine alternative to a prefab garage.

 

Constructed from the finest Nordic spruce, with tongue and groove roofs, laminated support posts and 5-year parts guarantees, these wooden carports provide exceptional weatherproof protection for a vehicle.

 

Please note that you have to buy the roof cover as an optional extra with Palmako carports too. Shop Palmako Carports.

Palmako Best Buy 4


Available in a range of sizes, this wooden carport is built from premium 19mm tongue and groove with sturdy 120mm laminated support posts.

 

This carport is far more convenient than a prefab garage, yet still provides complete weatherproof protection for a car. It can even be purchased with its own shed attachment!

Palmako Open-Sided Garden Structures: Gazebos and Pergolas

 

Palmako gazebos and pergolas are also constructed from Nordic spruce. They come with a tongue and groove roof, laminated support posts and 5-year parts guarantee.

 

There really are some wonderful designs to choose from. Should you want a gazebo with a floor, please check the product page to see if it comes as standard or needs buying as an optional extra. Whatever the case, rest assured that it will be made from the same high-quality tongue and groove as with other Palmako garden buildings.

 

Again, you’ll need to select a roof covering to go with your Palmako gazebo. Shop Palmako Gazebos and shop Palmako Garden Pergolas.
