Garden Pub 

With your own pub in the garden, you can kiss the designated driver goodbye! So go on, grab a drink, put on the music and make yourself comfortable. 

Guests are optional, so if you fancy a party, invite your friends and family over for a night out… in the back of your garden. Family and social events will be a breeze with your very own garden building. Want to invite the entire extended family for a birthday celebration or noisy New Year's Eve party? Now you will have space at last, without having to move any furniture!

We have a huge range of garden rooms, and though they all feel tall and spacious, most of them are under 2.5m in height. This means you typically don't require planning permission to build your garden bar shed where you want. 

Modern Log Cabins & Traditional Summerhouses

Our wide selection of modern log cabins and traditional summer houses will have you craving for your own space in the garden.

Choose between a selection of summerhouses with varying windows, designs and shapes to fit all kinds of gardens. Choose a traditional looking chalet style log cabin with an apex roof, or opt for a modern log cabin with a pent roof.

Multi-room Garden Buildings

If you're looking to make the most of your garden building, opt for a multiple room log cabin. Our multi-room cabins come in various styles and options, offering you the ultimate customisation experience.

You can separate your garden room to create different work, relaxation and storage areas. Our multi-room log cabins help you create different zones according to your needs. A great alternative to an expensive house extension. 

Garden Office Buildings

A garden building is a great place to work, manage your work-life-balance and reduce your morning commute to a few seconds and arrive with your coffee still warm. 

Our log cabins and dedicated garden offices have high-security doors and windows that can only be removed from inside. Meaning your important documents or valuable equipment will be well protected and insurable.

Garden Cinema 

If you are a film buff or a huge sports fan, you'll appreciate your own garden building dedicated especially to your hobby. With a garden cinema, you can enjoy the match rowdily with your mates, snacks and drinks will be on the house!

Or, you can settle down to savour an epic film with your widescreen TV and full surround sound. With your very own garden building, a trip to the cinema will become a rare occasion. So you better stock up the mini-fridge and cupboards full of popcorn and salted peanuts. You're going to get hooked on the latest films and series and it'd be a shame to run out of snacks. 

Garden Buildings with Shed

Our garden building sheds are ideal if you require some extra storage on the side. Combine your luxury garden building with a variety of sidestores that are sure to please all tastes and needs. Store your essentials in a place that's easy to retrieve them from. Whether it's your lawnmower, bike, garden tools or garden chairs, rest assured your belongings will sit in a safe place right next to your garden building. 

Games Room

Wouldn't it be nice to have space where older children can safely hang out with siblings or school friends, or somewhere to play some indoor sports or video games (that you control). A games room in your garden will provide hours of entertainment for both children and adults alike. Ping pong balls and pool tables are no match for our 4mm toughened glass! 

Garden Gym 

Your own space to work out in peace. Whether novice or semi-professional, we have the perfect heavy-duty garden building size for you and they all come with a 19mm floor as standard. Air vents disperse condensation, and friction stays on the windows provide instant and comfortable ventilation you can control. When it comes to the smell of sweat, you don't necessarily want "what happens in the garden gym to stay in the garden gym!" 

Garden Workshop 

Finding the right workshop for you takes time. There are so many different styles and sizes to fulfil all your needs, from small to heavy-duty garden workshops, modern designs and even traditional apex workshops. 

A small to medium garden workshop may be ideal for a DIY aficionado, looking to expand their hobby to a dedicated space outside of the house. These are also the perfect place to store their unfinished projects and various tools needed to complete their craft of choice.  

However, if you are looking for a bigger space to navigate large items and constructions, a heavy-duty garden workshop sounds like a better option for you. This is because you will be guaranteed heavy-duty walls and floors.

Insulated Garden Buildings

If you intend to use your garden room all year round, opt for an insulated log cabin. Add insulation to your log cabin or choose one from our frange of fully insulated log cabins. 

Our WarmaLog insulated garden cabins are an innovative concept with 62mm sandwich of timber and polyisocyanurate. Their U-Value is equivalent to 110mm wall thickness. An ideal option for any weather. Keep yourself and loved ones warm and cosy with triple tongue and groove logs and double glazed windows as standard. 

Our insulation options are quick and easy to install into your log cabin and help promote heat retention, saving you money on your heating bills. We always supply Polyisocyanurate insulation because it is a far better insulator than Rockwool or polystyrene, and gives great thermal efficiency.

She Sheds/Beauty Cabins

Garden rooms  make the perfect beauty cabins. Who wouldn't want a she shed solely dedicated to all things beauty? Conveniently placed at the back of your garden and easily accessible at a moment's notice! Get ready for spa days galore with friends and family.

Many of our customers use them as beauty rooms for themselves or as their home business. Log cabins are often used as beauty salons, hair salons, eyebrow bars and more. 

Corner Garden Buildings

Transform that awkward section of your garden with an affordable solution that doesn't require planning permission. A corner garden building will give you the extra space you need to expand your living area without expensive house extensions.  

Maintain Your Garden Building

Ensure your garden building lasts the ages, by taking the correct measures to maintain it properly. 

Our experts recommend choosing the right treatment for your log cabin and that you treat it as soon as it's built. At Dunster House, we offer a variety of wall preservatives that are solvent and water-based. In addition to selecting the best log cabin treatment, it's also important that you re-apply treatment when required. This will depend on the cabin preservative you have chosen.

Furthermore, creating an environment that aids moisture control is an important element in maintaining your garden building. Make sure measures are in place for the roof, floor, foundations and surrounding drainage to help shake off the extra moisture and prevent rot, fungal decay and insect infestations. 

At Dunster House, we use pressure treated floor bearers to protect the lowest part of the building. We use a large pressure treatment tank that forces the treatment deep into the timber at high pressure. Due to this effective process, we offer our customers a genuine 10-year guarantee against rot and insect infestation on the bearers.

Don't forget, your garden building is made of timber, a natural product that will contract and expand according to the UK's unpredictable weather. Once the cabin is erected, there will be a period of "settling" as the wood reacts and adjusts to the surrounding climate. Splits and cracks may occur over time, but that shouldn't compromise the quality of your garden building. 

We use interlocking tongue and groove timber in our garden rooms to help with the strength and stability of the walls, as well as the natural expansion and contraction of the timber.

Garden Building Wall Thickness

Our log cabins are available in a range of wall thicknesses; 28mm, 45mm and 62mm (Insulated) which is equivalent to 110mm U-Value. 

U-Values, provide a measure of heat loss found within building materials used for walls, floors and the roof. If you intend to use your cabin all-year-round, rather than just seasonally, you should choose as thick a wall as possible, to maximise the insulation.  

To allow you to compare options, we quote the U-Values of the walls below.

Our 28mm walls are almost 50% bigger than a 19mm wall and are ideal for larger buildings for seasonal use. (U-Value 2.59 w/m2 K) 

Our 45mm walls contain over 60% more wood than a 28mm wall and are ideal for use all-year-round. (U-Value 1.93 w/m2 k) 

Our 62mm walls are a triple tongue and groove sandwich of timber and polyisocyanurate insulation. This achieves a U-Value equivalent to 110mm walls. (U-Value 0.59w/m2 K)

Wooden Garden Building Planning Permission

You may have found what you're looking for, a log cabin to your exact taste and measurements. That's great! However, before placing an order for your wooden garden building, it's essential to familiarise yourself with any planning permission or building regulations that may apply. 

The good news is that most of our log cabins and garden offices don't require planning permission. This is due to the unique designs that utilise the maximum width and height available to us, giving you as much space as possible, without the need to opt for tall log cabins. Although we have a wide range of under 2.5m log cabins, some exceptions may still apply. It's vital that you check whether you'll need planning permission or not. More information can be found on planning permission and building regulations on the official government website.
