Malvern Log cabin

In the grounds of Great Malvern primary school we have a log cabin installation for Worcestershire County Council of a Childrens Centre for Brighter Futures. The site was on edge of the Sure Start centre and overlooks a wooded area with a pond.

Our first task was to create a level concrete slab to build the cabin. There was already tarmac but this sloped around 50mm front to back and required a tapered former to create a level starting point.



Short of daylight so not many pictures of the build in this case. The cabin was modified from the standard Liverpool log cabin to include a single side door instead of the side window to allow access from the Sure Start centre.



An insulated and plasterboarded ceiling was selected as part of the option package for installation.




Tapered edge plasterboard is fitted between the roof joists over 50mm Celotex, Kingspan or Xtratherm. Joints are taped and joint filler is skimmed over the top ready for painting.












Hexham (hexagonal) bitumen roof shingles fitted to the cabin roof.
