An adaptable garden structure, appropriate for labor, relaxation, and recreation, the Palmako Lea 4.9m x 4m Double Glazed Log Cabin Garden Office Sliding Doors Plus (44mm) emanates contemporary charm while being sturdy and enduring.

A Highly Waterproof Log Cabin

The garden cabin, boasting an interior space of 14.2m², is constructed using 44mm Nordic spruce interlocking panels, reinforced with wind braces and styled in a chalet cut design to ensure year-round usability. Both the floor and roof are crafted from premium 19mm tongue & groove, providing excellent durability and weather resistance.

The flooring is supported by treated foundation joists, enhancing airflow and safeguarding against moisture-induced decay. The roof adopts a modern pent shape with a generous overhang but does not come with its standard covering.

Roof Covering Alternatives

Consider purchasing SBS, roof underlay felt, and heavy-duty roofing nails as additional options. SBS is a resilient weatherproof felt with a long lifespan that should be installed by skilled individuals. Roof underlay felt is easy to attach but is recommended only as a temporary covering or as an underlay for the SBS.

Sliding Door Set and Toughened Double Glazing

The fully glazed sliding door set is fitted with 4-16-4mm toughened double glazing, an aluminium frame, and stainless-steel sill for durability. A cylinder lock provides security for valuables stored inside the log cabin.

Construction and Guarantee

Accompanied by a 5-year parts warranty from the manufacturer, this garden edifice includes instructions and a hardware kit for straightforward assembly.

Timber Preservation

Upon delivery, this log cabin is untreated. It is advisable to apply a quality anti-fungal treatment during assembly and annually thereafter to shield the wood from decay and comply with the warranty. For customization, paint can be used on the log cabin.

The timber utilized in constructing this log cabin is FSC® certified, sourced exclusively from sustainable, well-managed forests.

FAQs

The size of the shed depends on what you plan to store or use it for. Measure the items you plan to store and consider any additional space for moving around or future storage needs. Common sizes range from small (6×8 feet) for basic storage to large (12×24 feet) for workshops or extensive storage.
Sheds are typically made from wood, metal, or plastic. Wood is aesthetically pleasing and customizable but requires more maintenance. Metal sheds are durable and secure but can be prone to rust. Plastic sheds are low-maintenance and easy to assemble but may not be as sturdy as wood or metal.

Permit requirements vary by location. Check with your local building department or zoning office. Typically, small sheds (under 120 square feet) may not require a permit, but larger ones or those with electrical installations often do.

A solid foundation is crucial for stability and longevity. Options include concrete slabs, gravel bases, or wooden platforms. Choose a foundation based on your shed’s size, material, and the ground conditions of your site.
Look for sheds with features like weather-resistant materials, proper sealing, and robust construction. Ensure the shed has a good roof overhang, proper drainage, and secure locking mechanisms to protect against theft and weather damage.
Assembly time depends on the size and complexity of the shed. Small, simple sheds can be assembled in a few hours, while larger or more complex sheds may take a full day or more. Professional installation is also an option for those who prefer not to DIY.
Maintenance depends on the material. Wooden sheds need periodic painting or staining and checking for rot or pests. Metal sheds may need rust prevention treatments. Plastic sheds require minimal maintenance, typically just cleaning as needed.
Moving a shed is possible but can be challenging, especially for larger structures. It’s easier to move a smaller shed if it has a solid base. Consider the logistics and potential costs of moving before installation. If moving is likely, a portable shed might be a better option.
Many sheds come with detailed assembly instructions, making them suitable for DIY installation, especially smaller models. However, larger or more complex sheds may require professional installation to ensure they are properly and safely assembled. Assess your skill level, available tools, and the complexity of the shed before deciding.
