Description

The Mercia 4m x 3m Log Cabin is a masterful blend of classic charm and contemporary design. This log cabin is the ultimate multipurpose space, doubling as a serene home office, a lively entertainment hub, or a tranquil retreat. Thoughtfully designed to enhance your home's living space, this cabin allows you to embrace outdoor living while appreciating panoramic garden views through its sizeable SAN styrene glazed windows.

The timber cabin is constructed with premium 19mm Scandinavian pine log boards that seamlessly interlock. This innovative design forms an impermeable seal, warding off unwanted draughts and water while retaining heat efficiently. Classic chalet connections accent the cabin corners, adding a touch of traditional elegance and fortifying the structure. The roof and floor employ resilient tongue and groove boards, interlocking to form durable panels suited for buildings of frequent use. Accompanied by high-quality roofing felt, this cabin promises protection from the elements, ensuring its enduring appeal. The wide double doors, furnished with a lock and key, make for an inviting entryway.

Constructed using sustainably sourced timber, this log cabin embodies our commitment to sustainable practices. Handcrafted by our highly skilled team in the UK, the cabin is untreated and will require a coat of high-quality timber treatment post-installation. The log cabin will be delivered as individual tongue and groove timber lengths and requires solid, level base assembly.

Log Cabin Options

The design of this wooden log cabin uses interlocking wall cladding, making for a secure and warm space. 

Air Vents

A built-in vent helps fresh air circulate through the cabin, keeping the interior drier and more comfortable by reducing the risk of damp and improving natural airflow.

Roofing Options

While the log cabin comes with roof felt as standard, you also have the option to upgrade to a heavier-duty felt or an EPDM rubber roof for enhanced durability. 

Superior Heavy Duty Felt

This premium heavyweight roofing felt is designed to stand up to the toughest conditions. Available in Olive Green or Charcoal, it’s built with a glass fibre and bitumen base and is 50% thicker than standard felt. Perfect for log cabins and other buildings exposed to the elements, it forms a rugged, waterproof layer that is less likely to tear and weather year after year. Combining strength with a classic finish, it not only protects but also adds a refined, durable touch to your cabin’s roof.

EPDM Rubber Roof

Enhance the durability and weather resistance of your Mercia log cabin with our optional high-quality EPDM roofing solutions. Designed to provide superior protection, EPDM is a versatile and long-lasting material that ensures your timber structures remain secure against the elements. Its strong waterproof properties, combined with resistance to UV rays and temperature fluctuations, make it an ideal choice for outdoor use.

Does A Log Cabn Require Planning Permission?

The garden building designs have been created to adhere to planning permission guidelines. However, we cannot guarantee that you will not need planning permission for a log cabin..  We advise checking with your local authorities before constructing your garden building. 

What Log Cabin Base Do I Need?

A flat, level solid base made of either concrete or concrete slabs is required for the installation of your Log Cabin. For more information on how to build a garden room base, you can contact us.

Prior to the Log Cabin’s installation, be sure to check the base is level in all directions. If the base is not level, it will cause the building to twist and warp with the natural movement of the timber. It’s essential to adjust your base accordingly to achieve this before the installation process begins.

Installation?

This log cabin is supplied as self-assembly.  You can opt for our professional installation service.  

Once your order is placed, the manufacturer’s installation team will be in touch with a short pre-installation questionnaire. This helps us confirm that the site for your new Log Cabin is ready, making sure everything runs smoothly on installation day.

After the foundation is set and access to your garden is clear, our installers will take care of the rest!

Whether you choose to build the cabin yourself or use our assembly service, please ensure there is a 24-inch clearance around the entire structure. This space is essential for both the assembly process and for future maintenance, such as treating the exterior.

Note: The installation team will not dismantle or remove any old buildings.

You will also be notified at this time if your area incurs a surcharge or delivery is not covered in your area.

Prior to Delivery

On the morning of your delivery date, you'll be sent an update by text with an estimated 2-hour delivery slot (this update can only be provided where a mobile number has been supplied on the billing address section at the time of checkout) together with a link to the manufacturer delivery portal where you'll be able to track your order.

Please note: Mercia Metal Sheds ONLY - your order is delivered by a courier you will not be notified prior to the delivery. If you are not in on the day of the delivery you will be carded and asked to contact the courier to arrange a new mutual delivery date. The estimated delivery lead time for Mercia's Metal sheds is identified on the product for the metal shed. Lead times are on working days (Monday - Friday) excludes Bank Holidays.

Upon Delivery

Your order is delivered either kerbside or driveway and will be delivered on either a 3.5T, 7.5T or 18T Lorry. Unfortunately due to health and safety and insurance liabilities the driver will not be able to take your goods around to the back of your property but may upon request place the product at the side of the house if there are no access or restriction issues. We would not risk damaging your property whilst delivering a product to an unsafe location. Unfortunately, we will not be able to go through your property.

We would recommend against arranging for a third party to install the building before it's been delivered and checked that all parts are present, as we cannot be held liable for any third-party costs.

Orders with Assembly 

The lead time for our installation option is around 7 weeks from the date of order. With the installation option, the majority of orders will have their delivery and installation on separate days; there will be a small number of orders which will have delivery and installation on the same day. You will be advised by the manufacturer's installation team which category your order falls into.

Depending on the installation option for your order, you will be contacted within the delivery timescale and given a date for either delivery/assembly on the same date or a separate date for delivery and assembly.
