Our 70mm garden cabins are a cut above the rest – they’ve got thicker walls, so they’re ideal for use all year round, and you can count on them to stay warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and strong through any weather. Need more reasons to love them? No problem, we’ve got loads.
All our cabins come with double glazing as standard, which means better insulation, less noise from the outside world, and a secure space to enjoy. Whether it’s hot, cold, or – as is often the case in the UK – somewhere in between and all of the above, your 70mm garden cabin will be comfy all year long.
No cutting corners here! The only cutting we’ll do is to ensure your log cabin fits your space just right. While other companies might use OSB artificial boards for flooring, we only use solid wood. Why? Because it’s sturdier, looks better, and feels great when you walk on it, the question should be, why not? You deserve the best, and that’s what we deliver with our 70mm wooden log cabins. Some suppliers don’t include floors in their packages, so ensure you know what you are paying for.
Thick walls, double glazing, and our optional insulation package mean you can make the most of your cabin in any season. Rain or shine, your 70mm wooden log cabin will be the perfect garden hideaway.

Do I need planning permission for a 70 mm log cabin in Guildford, Surrey?
Usually not, as long as it meets height and boundary rules for garden outbuildings.
Keep under 2.5m high near boundaries. If in a conservation area or planning a large cabin, check with the council.
-
How long does installation take for a 70 mm log cabin in Surrey?
Once the base is ready, the build tends to go faster than you might expect. For a moderate-sized 70mm cabin, installation might take 1-3 days, depending on access, weather, and the number of extras (electrics, etc.). The heavy logs mean it takes a little more time than thinner cabins, but not dramatically more.
-
How warmly should I insulate a 70?mm log cabin in Surrey to make it usable all year round?
70mm walls help, but insulate the roof and floor too. Double glazing improves
winter comfort. If you skip floor/roof insulation and just rely on thick walls, you’ll still lose a lot of heat — so treat it as a package.
-
Is 70 mm wall thickness really necessary for year-round use in Ripley and Surrey?
Yes — if you want frequent use,
comfort and longevity. Thicker walls, like 70mm, offer better insulation, greater solidity and longer life in Surrey’s damp winters. Occasional use may allow thinner walls, but for offices or gyms, 70mm is wise.
-
What base and ground preparation does a 70 mm log cabin need in Woking?
70mm walls need a level, firm base—usually a
concrete slab or quality pad/base system. In Woking gardens, which often slope or have soft patches, I’d recommend levelling first so the cabin sits true. If the base is off, doors won’t align, and you’ll regret it.
-
What mistakes do Surrey homeowners make when buying a 70 mm log cabin?
* Under-preparing the base (thinking “it’s just a garden room” and skimping). Placing cabins in damp, shaded areas leads to cold floors or mould.
* Assuming “70mm walls = no insulation needed” — not true if you want comfort.
* Not thinking about access/doors/windows and how the cabin will actually sit in the garden (especially in Woking, where space is tight)
