These ‘Dunsfold’ Garden Log Cabins With Veranda Will Enhance Your Garden
Here’s Why You Should Choose This Dunsfold Multi Room Log Cabin With Porch. The amazing design of the ‘Dunsfold’ multi-room log cabin is a great, good looking versatile building.
Walk in the double doors and you access two separate rooms so you can even have ‘his’ and ‘hers’ own rooms, which can remove loads of conflict in a garden building if you choose. Besides that the amount of uses is great.
You could use the side rooms for an office, a storage unit, somewhere to keep items away from children or a great many other things. Leaving the main area for relaxing with your family. The clever design combined with the useful porch area allows all of this so this should be a candidate for your garden.
As Standard Solid Strength Is Included – NOT an Extra Charge
The secret of Nordic timber is well known by the Swedish and is used extensively in their country. The natural slow-growing nature of this timber makes it ideal for our multi-room log cabins – as it’s both stable and strong. The ‘Dunsfold’ cabin being made from this great natural material benefits from this and helps to enable a long life for your new cabin. The delightful contemporary design of this ‘Dunsfold’ cabin ensures its modern looking building is an asset for your garden. The large glass windows and delightful porch area adds to its charm. We always remember it’s your cabin and should reflect your requirements.
The Key to a Quality Cabin is the Materials Used
Soundly built using Nordic timber these ‘Dunsfold’ garden cabins are made with the right materials and in the correct way. A different view is to try to make cabins DOWN to a price and this practice is followed by some manufacturers but this is never a good long term policy. Ultimately you want your new log cabin to last and, as importantly, to look good for the foreseeable future – the saving of a few hundred pounds might not look so good in a few years time if cheap chipboard, OSB board or other sheet materials are used as this can compromise your new building. The quality of materials used should flow through from the carcass of the building into all the fittings as well. Windows which are double glazed using proper glass (NOT plastic) should be standard. All timber should be (very importantly) from sustainable sources and properly kiln dried.
Insulated Log Cabins
The cabins are supplied with chunky timber walls (good U-values) and double glazing as standard and you can ensure that they are comfortable year-round with the addition of our insulated floor and roof upgrade. We use 50mm PIR Celotex / Kingspan in the roof and cover this with a structural grade 18mm OSB roof deck atop before fitting your specified roofing material. We will use 25mm PIR Celotex / Kingspan in the floor. The fitment of insulation will not affect the internal headroom in any way and prices shown will include for fitting when our teams install your cabin.
Installation Service Available for These Garden Cabins
Optionally this superb ‘Dunsfold’ multi-room log cabin can be assembled for you by a third party saving you time and effort. Your new cabin will be up very quickly, and importantly correctly, as they do this on a regular basis. Having said that it’s possible for you to assemble these buildings as everything is done to make it straightforward. The ‘Dunsfold’ log buildings are initially assembled at the factory before being flat pack and shipped to you. All parts are bar coded for ease of access and by following the log cabin guidelines can be erected efficiently. The secret is to take your time and work through each step one at a time. Having said that these cabins are a little more involved than a standard log cabin due to the multi cabin.
