Felixstowe log cabins and seaside sheds

Felixstowe beach huts and boat sheds

There are plenty of potential new customers in Felixstowe with a wealth of wooden buildings on the seashore. We can build bespoke huts to precise dimensions to meet regulations with the option of shutters for windows if required.

Stone piers are a must have accessory this close to the shoreline.

Floating shed or sheds?

There are some great shoreline log cabins beyond Felixstowe Golf course.
Amazingly low shoreline at Felixstowe boat yard.

Log cabin kits - the lawn commute

Now that we have the video camera up and running we are going to look at creating a few tutorials to help with some of our frequently asked questions.


First of all here is my trip to work.

Croydon bespoke gym - log cabin kit

This week we feature an installation in Croydon, Greater London. In this case the base was already there. We supplied a bespoke log cabin designed to maximise the space available and also incorporated a reduced maximum height of 2.5m to conform with the new planning rules in England.



The first challenge was simply to get this cabin on site. In the end the easiest option was over this wall!




Damp proof course in place and ready to build.

Almost time to consider fitting the double glazed windows.

Up to roof height and time to fit the roof boards.

Based on our Aylesbury log cabin kit this log cabin is bespoke 44mm walls, double glazed, designed to precise dimensions to make the most of the space available and reduced to 2.5m maximum height.

We installed the cabin,fitted roof and floor insulation. First fix electrics is also in place to reduce exposed cabling or trunking within the log cabin.

The main purpose of this log cabin is a fitness room or personal gym though over time it may evolve!

Heidi our client was chief photographer (a hundred pictures or more), tea maker and able assistant and we hope to have more pictures soon.

Thankyou for your kindness. It was a pleasure to meet you and your father.

Garden Office Swindon

Our latest garden room is a bespoke design providing office space for two businesses. Expanding businesses soon outgrow the spare room and a garden room can provide the extra space you need without the need for renting office space and facing a lengthy commute.





Internal partition creates a second office space.



Initial sketches are turned into detailed CAD drawings for final approval before manufacturing begins.

In most cases basework for your garden office is completed in a day.

As part of the installation we are there to unload the cabin. It normally takes around an hour to unload with two people assisting if youare planning on building it yourself.

Basework is complete and timbers are sorted as they are carried to the site.





We fit damp proof course to the floor joists as extra protection. Timbers are normally pressure treated but this provides an extra protection against rising damp. Damp proof course comes in various widths but normally it will cover at least two floor joists and can be sliced with a stanley knife once stapled.




Iniitally you will need to identify the half wall timbers that form the start of the build.

Careful reference to the construction drawings and accuurate sorting should ensure quick progress with the walls.

Add doors and then windows as you build before they get too high to lift them into place.

Walls complete and roof joists can be added.

Roof boards on and ready to fit the bitumen roof tiles. Very popular on most residential homes in Canada and an attractive finish to any garden room.

The floor is insulated with celotex boards and finished with fsc approved 18mm board to provide a perfrect base for the final finish of carpet tiles.

Ceiling insulated, plasterboarding complete and painted.

Sockets and lighting fitted.

The exterior painted with two coats of Osmo wood stain and protector. (Red Cedar)

Ready for the carpet and office furniture to be added.

Thankyou Dave and Nicky for the tea, biscuits and the chilli!
