Shackleford Log Cabin With Bi-Fold Doors for the Life of Today
Why You Should Choose This Shackleford Wood Cabin for Your Home & Family. Many cabins tick different type of boxes each suited to different needs for today’s life.
However, this garden cabin with its bi-fold doors is a delightful building and won’t look out of place in any location. The clever design of this building means there are two models. Both models are under 2.5m high so, normally, no planning issues.
Both cabins will support all sort of socialising with your family, friends or colleagues. And with a little imagination, you should be able to visualise what this building can do for you. A delightful looking and functional building for your garden and home.
Supplied As Standard With Solid Strength Built-In – Not an Option
Utilising Nordic slow growing timber ensures that this building is built for the long term. In cold countries, such as Sweden, this type of timber is used as standard due to its great properties to withstand the worse weather over there. Not content to be using Nordic timber the design using very thick s as standard which makes this a VERY strong building indeed. (There may be a 44mm option available soon). Also built into the design is strengthening bars and this further enhances this great cabin. With its appearance, strength and looks it should be considered as an option for your garden.
Attention To Detail in Buildings is Crucial. NO Cheap Materials Used
The timber used throughout is top notch, as are the double glazed doors and windows. No expense is spared in ensuring these cabins will fulfil their roles with ease. With everything designed for our great British weather as standard. You won’t find any chipboard, OSB board or other cheap sheet materials in these cabins as these buildings are made to a standard and not ‘down to a price’, unlike many cheap cabin makers. So when looking pay particular attention to the specifications to ensure you get the best. By buying a CHEAP cabin might save you money but in the long run, what you need is the best value building and that is one which will last. Naturally, all timber is kiln dried and comes from renewable sources.
Insulated 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.
Optional Cabin Assembly Service Available
The design of these cabins are very ical and a good DIY’er should be able to build one without too much trouble. However, they are a little more involved than a four side cabin so it’s never a bad idea to call in the experts. We do have recommended third-party installers who can assemble these buildings for you. By taking this course of action you can be sure the building will be erected correctly and all you need to do is to work how to enjoy the building with your family and friends. And that has good to be a good thing. Well worth considering?
Be Wary About Buying from a Brochure or Computer Screen
The web is a great tool for locating cabins for sale but it can never demonstrate the quality of the product being offered. This is why, if possible, you should always make it a prime consideration before buying or viewing cabins beforehand. Even if you are unable to view, dealing with a company which has a cabins UK display site, should give you more confidence in their products. If they are happy for their products to be inspected at close quarter – unlike many garden cabins firms selling on the web – then that has to be a good thing. If you can visit a cabin site you can make your own mind up about the quality of the building so that you know when it arrives you won’t feel let down or feel misled. So take a look on our display site and see how good these buildings are.
