Included As Standard Super Strength at No Extra Charge
The mainstay of these cabins is the slow-growing Nordic timber, renowned and loved by the Swedes. The great strength comes from the many years growing in this cold part of the world. Utilised in this ‘Reading’ cabin the Nordic timber ensures a very long life. The natural design and style of this garden cabin enable it to sit easily in our British gardens and is there in all its glory.

Insulated Cabins
The log 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.
The Materials Used are Key to A Quality Garden Building.
The ‘Reading’ cabin is constructed from solid slow growing Nordic timber. You may save a few pounds with chipboard, OSB board or other nasty and cheap materials but you won’t find them in these buildings. Even though you could save some money the only reason cabin companies would only use cheap materials is to manufacture down to a price – NEVER a good idea. Quality should always come first. This quality aspect flows through to the doors and windows, which are proper glass and double glazed. Handily adjustable hinges as standard. The kiln dried timber naturally only comes from sustainable sources.
Building Assembly Service
The clever design of this building ensures ease of erection and this originates from the work in the factory where the design has been pre-assembled to ensure all parts fit correctly. It is then flat packed for ease of installation in your garden. Whilst many people will enjoy erecting these cabins you may decide you would like it built for you. Well, no problem! The assembly service provided by a third party is an option for you which will ensure an easy life for you and your family. We can also provide other services as well if they help. That can’t be bad!
Before Buying Always View at a Cabin UK Display Site
There are many flashy websites where you can see these buildings for sale and which make them appear great but there is only one way you will know what you will be getting and that is to visit a display area. That is the only sure way to have peace of mind – view and touch before buying. This will ensure you won’t feel let down when it is finally delivered to your garden as you would know the expected quality beforehand. We have display areas with many cabin kits on display where you can inspect at your leisure. These sites are normally manned but not with salesmen. Our advisor will be on site to answer your questions and to guide you if you request. You will never experience pressure selling. Being a family business is important to us. Our background in garden buildings manufacturing started in 1979. This experience is important to use and also helps to give us the know-how about the quality of materials which should be used. Our Ethos is ‘Make to a Standard – NOT down to a price’.

- Why Is Viewing A Cabin In Person Essential Before Purchasing?
With the internet, it's often difficult to see what your new building will be like. This is why it's essential to view examples before delivery. This way, you can see how well it's been made, whether there is sufficient head height, whether the doors and windows are solidly made and how good the timber is
Whilst some internet-only companies may claim it's best to buy online, it is only sometimes possible to be sure what you are getting. If they are not prepared to let you see their buildings beforehand, then be wary. The cheapest price is only sometimes the best value.
