Log Cabin Offices

A log cabin can also be 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. Separate your work and home life, and get the best of both worlds! Our log cabins UK and dedicated garden offices have high-security doors and windows that can only be removed from inside, thus your important documents or valuable equipment will be well protected and insurable.

Log Cabin 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 log cabin summerhouses filled with windows and shapes to fit all kinds of gardens. Such as corner, hexagonal, oval, rectangular and square. However, if you’re more contemporary you may fancy a modern log cabin summerhouse in apex or pent roof styles. 

Let your space and personal taste be the guides to your final selection.

Multi-room Log Cabins

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

Our versatile multi-room log cabins will give you the flexibility to use them however you need. They are perfect if you’re looking to use them for leisure, storage or as an office. You can set the rooms out exactly how you need them without the expenses of a house extension.

Garden Pub

Imagine having your own bar in the garden. This is your own time, to spend the way you want to, so grab a brew, put on the music and make yourself comfortable! We have a huge range of outdoor buildings, and though they all feel tall and spacious, most of them are under 2.5m in height, which means you don’t require planning permission to build your bar where you want. Bye, Bye designated driver! Not only can you choose the music and the guests, but it is also really useful for family and social events. Want to invite the entire extended family for a birthday celebration? Or a noisy New Year’s Eve party? Now you will have the space at last, without having to move a stick of furniture!

Air vents disperse condensation and friction stays on the windows provide instant and comfortable ventilation you can control.

The internally-beaded windows and handle locks with keys mean your valuable equipment and tools are safe and sound.

Insulated Log Cabins

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

Our Warmalog insulated log cabins are an innovative concept with 62mm sandwich of timber and polyurethane. 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. Thus saving you on your heating bills. We always supply polyurethane insulation, a far better insulation than Rockwool or polystyrene. Even NASA uses it! 

Beauty Cabins/She Sheds

A beauty cabin is also a popular log cabin use. It is essentially a dedicated space for all things beauty related at the back of your garden. Many of our customers use them as beauty rooms for themselves or as their home business. Many of our cabins are used as beauty salons, hair salons, eyebrow bars and more. 

Corner Cabins

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

Maintain Your Log Cabin

To ensure your log cabin has a prolonged life, it’s crucial that you take the correct measures to maintain it properly. 

Our experts recommend choosing the right treatment for your garden 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 log cabin preservative you have chosen.

Furthermore, creating an environment that aids moisture control is an important element in maintaining your garden log cabin. Make sure measures are in place for the roof, floor, foundations and surrounding drainage to help shake off extra moisture and prevent rot, fungal 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 log cabin is made of timber, a natural product that will contrast 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 surrounding climate. Splits and cracks may occur over time but that shouldn’t compromise the quality and integrity of your garden building. 

The use of interlocking tongue and groove timber in our log cabins help with the strength and stability of the walls as well as the natural expansion and contrast of the timber.

Log Cabin 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 roofs. If you intend to use your cabin all-year-round - rather than 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 polyurethane insulation. This achieves a U-Value equivalent to 110mm walls. (U-Value 0.59w/m2 K)

Planning Permission For Garden Buildings

You may have found exactly 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 important to familiarise yourself with any planning permissions or building regulations that may apply in your area.

The good news is that most of our log cabins don’t require planning permission. This is due to our unique designs that utilise the maximum width and height available to us. Thus 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. Hence it’s vital that you check whether you’ll need planning permission or not. 

To make it easier for you we created a quick step Planning Permission questionnaire to help you determine whether you’ll need planning permission.
