Here at Cabin Living we are continuing to see high levels of interest in our Garden Office buildings. Small businesses are looking for more ways of reducing their outgoings by reducing the commute and even cutting back on rented office space. Our Garden office installation service means we are maintaining a good level of interest and we are confident that demand will remain high in the coming months.
Garden Office Cabins
We now offer an extensive garden product range to compliment any garden project and even provide accessories for your log cabin to make it the ultimate games room.

Demand for barbecue huts is also on the rise and we have launched our first barbecue hut and we hope to expand our bbq hut range available later this year.

Blackpool log cabin Installation.
Here we have our latest installation of a devon log cabin. It was pretty chilly with freezing fog a fair amount of the time we were in Blackpool but the chiminea helped to keep us warm. Oh and the cups of tea. Thankyou Christine!
As you can see this cabin is sited close to the garage which is less than 5 metres from the main home and did require planning permission. The good news is planning was approved!

More log cabins more choice
Here at Cabin Living we are busy working on new product lines for the 2009 season.
We have added over forty new log cabin designs with two new suppliers and there is more still to come.
We have a huge range of garden products ideal for log cabin living which we hope to publish on our site before the start of new year.
Requests are starting to rise for cabins less than 2.5m high and as we suspected the planning rules are starting to affect those people who do not wish to place a cabin away from a boundary. At the moment we have two solutions. On site modification during our installation process or a bespoke range of 44mm thick walled cabins that can be made to your specification.
No doubt the main manufacturers will soon pick up on the changes and start to produce ready made solutions to this problem but in the meantime Cabin Living are doing their upmost to provide the solution.
Much to our surprise demand hasn't dropped off this winter and despite the gloomy economic news we are hopeful for next year.
With rising train fares and a stagnant housing market the opportunity to work from home or expand your living space for your family is more tempting and what is more it couldnt be easier with Cabin Living.

Bespoke Garden Office buildings
New Planning rules came into effect on 1st October 2008 which now mean if you intend to build a log cabin or garden office building within 2 metres of any boundary you will either have to get planning permission or purchase a cabin less than 2.5m ridge height. Most log cabins tend to be slightly higher than 2.5m which means if you have no choice but to place your log cabin near a boundary you could have problems.
So Cabin Living have arranged supply of a range of log cabins which can be specifically manufactured to meet the 2.5m high rule. Thus avoiding the cost of planning for those of us who aren't fortunate enough to have acres of ground to build a log cabin retreat.
All the bespoke models use 45mm thick walls, include double glazing and start from £2795 for 3m x 4m models. If you see a log cabin you like on our main site we can produce a bespoke model similar or why not sketch your design and send it to us!

Oxford Installation Part 3
Most of our clients are looking for a log cabin they can use year round. Which means electrical connection and in this case a telephone and network cable also. Here we see the trench being back filled. The trench is dug to a depth of at least 450mm and the network and telephone cables are placed in conduit at least 100mm away from the amoured power cable to avoid interference with network signals. Typically 10mm armoured cable is used for power and Cat5e cable for both the telephone and network connection.
The floor and roof account for 70% of heat loss in your cabin so here we see the first stages of insulating the roof. Battens are fixed approximately 65mm away from the ceiling, plasterboard is then fixed to the battens and 50mm high density rockwool slabs are fitted in the gap.
The result is an insulated roof which looks good when painted and makes the most of exposed wood.
Last but not least it is agood idea to insulate the floor. If you are having laminate or real wood floors the best solution is to lay 50mm Celotex which offer superior insulation qualities compared to standard laminate floor underlay. Often used to line attic rooms it is foil backed both sides and is so good it feels warm to the touch.
All that remains is to make your choice of laminate or real wood flooring to go on top!

Log cabin Installation in Oxford Part 2
Day Three and the cabin is delivered...
This is quite a narrow site so the client chose a Liverpool cabin 3m wide and 4m deep. Double glazed with 44mm walls this is a cabin well suited to home office use.
Walls are double tongue and groove and Eurovudas have made improvements in the quality of window and door fittings which are now nearly in the same league as finnforest.
Doors and windows now have weatherstrip seal and tilt and turn window mechanisms. The doors have sliding bolts locking at four points along the side of the door similar to patio door locking arrangements.
Here you catch a glimpse of the new shed...the old sheds have gone and the log cabin is well on the way to completion.
