Summer House in the garden

A summerhouse in the garden can have a number of uses. Ideal for expanding families and expanding businesses alike. The beauty of a log cabin of reasonable wall thickness is that with our insulation service a summer house in the garden becomes a garden cabin you can use all year round.

The following example built in St. Albans a month or two ago was supplied by another manufacturer but we were able to offer the installation service.

Insulating the roof and floor of the cabin with 50mm Kingspan insulation provides a good level of insulation from the heat in summer and the cold in winter. A log cabin of this thickness 45mm is usually more than adequate for most uses.

Nethybridge log cabin

CAD images ready for approval for one of our latest log cabin installations in Nethybridge near Aviemore.



Simliar to one of the finnforest log cabin range this bespoke model was modified to create a good sized shower room and porch area for those dirty wellies.

Plenty of room for a shower, wc and wash hand basin.

A damp start to this project.

Base prepared before the cabin delivery and we're ready to build.

Builders were also on site making the drain connection, and also adding water supply and electrical cable.

Walls part constructed and time to add the windows and doors.

Water supply pipe placed just inside the shower room area of the cabin and set into the base to reduce the chance of freezing.

Kingspan insulation added to the floor and ceiling. Ceiling is plasterboarded, tape and jointed then sanded ready for painting.

Bitumen roof tiles ready and the cabin is watertight ready to finish interior work.



Underfloor heating for the porch.


50mm Kingspan insulation for the floor prior to fitting underfloor heating and laminate.

Underfloor heating added to the log cabin is controlled by a wall mounted thermostat which monitors both air temperature and floor temperature. The electronic thermostat allows timed heating to meet your requirements.

Laminate flooring works perfectly with the underfloor heating system.

Electrics ready for connection by the electrician.

Time to tidy up as the light begins to fade.

A project of this size takes 5 - 6 days including basework.
