Buying A Cabin? How To Choose The Right One For You?
Trentan Ripley Cabin
When buying a cabin for the garden, it seems very straightforward to – click on the ‘web’, find the building in the size you want and then search for the best price. ‘Piece of Cake YES?
Well, not really, as there are so many different buildings available from the ‘cheap and possibly nasty’ right up to ones which would feel at home in a posh country home. To ensure you make the right decision, you need to do your homework to make the right choice and buy the right one for YOUR needs.
Always, where ever possible try to see your proposed new building before buying. This way you can ensure the quality of the building will meet your expectation. There’s no substitute for viewing these buildings ‘in the flesh’ so you can see the attention to detail given.
Don’t Buy On Price Alone
When choosing a new cabin for your garden you need to check out thoroughly the specifications of it. Examine the very high specifications below to ensure any prospective purchase meets the very high standards of the Trentan range of buildings. These buildings are exceptional value for money but no corners are cut in production. These Trentan units are NEVER made down to a price so be very wary of other products.
Examine The Quality
To be sure of the quality it’s great advice to view beforehand. You can then be the judge and decide whether the price is worth paying. Can that building you are looking at on the ‘web’ be viewed beforehand? And if not – WHY not?
All Year Round Use
All our Trentan buildings have double glazed windows as standard. Besides being warmer they add a higher level of security. And if you would like to benefit from all year round use – i.e. warm in the winter and cooler in the summer – we have options to help in this respect. Please chat with our friendly advisors who can explain your options.
Types and Styles of Cabins and Choosing the Right One
When buying a log cabin you must buy one which will suit you and your garden so rather than compromising we offer a very large range of styles which should suit all situations. Examine our range and see which ones will meet your precise needs.

Besides the great quality of these buildings, we can arrange a fitting service for you. And besides that, we can also arrange to build a base, have your building painted and even add electrics. These services add up to their overall value of them. And it’s always worth checking out customer’s feedback to see what they say.
