The Key To a Great Cabin is the Quality of Materials

Some other cabin firms take a different path and try to make cabins DOWN to a price. In the long term, this is never a good policy. I’m sure, ultimately, you want your new garden cabin to last and as important to look great for the foreseeable future. By using cheap materials such as chipboard, OSB board and sheet material you may save a few hundred pounds but this can jeopardise your new building. Besides the structure of the building the quality of materials used should flow through into all the fittings as well. Windows made from proper glass (NOT plastic) and double glazed should be standard, not an expensive option. All timber should come from sustainable sources (very importantly) and should be properly kiln dried. Also, this ‘Chessington’ cabins come with the very latest DGP+ doors and windows.
