Our Top 5 Log Cabins for Work, Rest & Play

Log cabins are our premier garden buildings. They’re also our most versatile, being suitable for use the whole year round, for any combination of work, rest and play.

So, if you’re thinking of investing in a garden log cabin to increase your living space, please read on as we examine 5 of our favourite models…

Forest Rushock 5m x 4m Log Cabin (45mm)

This garden cabin boasts 188ft2 of interior floor space, so there’s plenty of room for the whole family to enjoy.

Expertly constructed from 45mm kiln-dried, interlocking log walls, with a premium 19mm tongue and groove floor PLUS roof, this garden room provides a comfortable, well-insulated environment, which you can use every single day of the year.

The floor is fitted with pressure-treated bearers, to increase air circulation in this key area and provide another layer of protection against ground moisture. At the other end of the structure, Forest’s weatherproof felt roof cover is heavier and more hardwearing than those found on most other log cabins, and comes with a life expectancy of 15 years.

You can gain easy access to this garden cabin via glazed double doors, which are fitted with a key-operated lock to keep valuables safe. And thanks to 4 further windows, the interior enjoys an abundance of natural light. These windows open via a tilt and turn mechanism, allowing you to ventilate the log cabin, whenever it’s required. All of the glazing is made from double-glazed toughened glass – ideal for a busy family garden.

Palmako Ines 4.2m x 3.3m Log Cabin Garden Office (44mm)

With its large bi-fold doors, this log cabin is an incredibly inviting garden building during summertime, yet its 44mm Nordic spruce cladding, with added wind braces, ensure it remains equally suitable for use throughout the winter months.

As you might expect from a Palmako log cabin, both the floor and roof are made from premium tongue and groove. The former includes pressure-treated bearers, while the latter can be covered with market-leading SBS torch-on felt, which we supply as an optional upgrade.

This log cabin comes with some superb additional features. The doors are fitted with a laminated frame, stainless-steel sill and rubber seals, so they’re perfectly equipped to withstand wear, tear, and anything the Great British weather throws at them. Just like the 2 adjacent full-length windows, they’re also double glazed. This not only makes them stronger and longer lasting than regular glazed doors, it ensures they provide superior insulation too.

Forest Melbury 4m x 3m Log Cabin (34mm) - Double Glazed

The Forest Melbury combines the style of a log cabin with that of a summerhouse, making for an exceptionally attractive garden building, which is a congenial place to work or an idyllic setting in which to relax and watch the world go by.

The walls are built from 34mm kiln-dried, interlocking logs, so help create a comfortable environment throughout the changing seasons. Both the floor and roof are constructed from 19mm tongue and groove. The former is supplemented by pressure-treated bearers, while the latter not only includes a tear-resistant, weatherproof felt cover as standard, but underlay for it too.

The wood used to build this log cabin is FSC® certified, which is exclusively sourced from sustainable, well-managed forests.

Other notable features include glazed double doors, with a key-operated lock, and 3 further windows. Two of these windows are positioned to the sides of the doors, so together they flood the interior with natural light. The other can be installed on either side of the structure and opens via a tilt and turn mechanism. All doors and windows are made from toughened double glazing for superior insulation and that extra touch of class.

Palmako Melanie 2.8m x 2.8m Corner Summer House Log Cabin (28mm)

If you like the idea of owning a log cabin, but you’ve got limited outdoor space and/ or are operating on a budget, the Palmako Melanie provides the solution. Perfectly designed to sit in a corner of your garden, this stunning log cabin offers exceptional value for money.

The walls are made from 28mm Nordic spruce interlocking logs, while the floor and roof are both constructed from tongue and groove, renowned for its strength, durability and weatherproof qualities. What’s more, the eye-catching roof features a generous overhang, reducing sun glare and sheltering the doorway.

The double doors and 2 extra-large windows provide the interior with huge amounts of natural light. The former can be secured by a robust mortice lock, so you can rest assured that your valuable items will remain safe from unwanted attention.

The doors and windows also feature Georgian-style framing, which complements the rest of the log cabin beautifully.

Backed by an excellent 5-year guarantee, this log cabin summerhouse really does give you a little slice of luxury, at a price you can afford.

Forest Xtend 3.0+ Insulated Garden Office 2.98m x 2.9m (97mm)

So far, we’ve featured traditional log cabins, which can be used for a multitude of purposes. However, we’d now like to show you something a little bit different. It’s a garden building that, while not strictly a log cabin, is designed like one and will be of particular interest to those of you who work from home.

Available in a range of sizes, Forest Xtend is a range of market-leading garden offices. They are made from Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), which are a type of superior sandwich panel used in the construction industry to build new homes.

These extra-thick SIPs consist of a layer of insulation, 2 sheets of OSB, and both interior and exterior cladding, with plenty of space to install electrical wiring.

The floor and roof are built using the same principles, making for an exceptionally well insulated and weathertight garden building. In fact, the roof comes with an EPDM cover, which boasts an extraordinary 50-year life expectancy – long enough to last until well after you retire!

You can gain easy access to this premium garden office via double-glazed, UPVC-reinforced double doors, featuring a 7-point locking system for the ultimate security. The top sections of the 2 additional double-glazed windows are both openers, allowing you to ventilate your garden office, whenever it’s required.

Backed by a fabulous 15-year guarantee and with an energy efficiency rating comparable to some new-build homes, this market-leading home office really is the ultimate garden building for remote workers everywhere.
