Description

What advantages do the extensive glazing and access points offer?

The joinery double doors, 2 x opening front windows, and 1 x opening side window provide excellent ventilation alongside vast natural light. Fitted entirely with toughened glass, these glazed elements furnish the building with a practical layer of resilience against everyday impacts. Having three distinct opening windows allows operators to dictate internal airflow meticulously, while the broad entryway easily accommodates the transfer of bulky equipment.

Which materials constitute the main shell of this structure?

The 13 x 6G Shire Tilney pent log cabin incorporates 19mm tongue-and-groove logs to deliver a highly stable enclosure that defends against harsh weather. Proudly manufactured in the UK, these interlocking timber components effectively minimise draughts and establish a tidy visual finish suitable for any residential plot. The uniform timber depth across the exterior walls, combined with a 12mm tongue-and-groove roof, provides a reliable perimeter designed for continuous domestic use.

How is the base protected from typical ground conditions?

The foundational design employs 34mm x 62mm pressure-treated floor bearers to elevate the frame, which helps resist moisture ingress from damp soil. By keeping the 12mm tongue-and-groove floor separated from direct earth contact, this treated sub-structure actively shields the lowest tier of 19mm tongue-and-groove logs against fungal decay. Maintaining a drier base ensures the secure garden storage unit retains its structural integrity throughout prolonged wet seasons.

How Can I Utilise the 13 x 6G Shire Tilney Pent Log Cabin?

Establishing a spacious multi-purpose workshop or collaborative office environment is highly achievable within this expanded footprint. By arranging workbenches near the two opening front windows and the opening side window, users receive abundant illumination, while the joinery double doors enable seamless movement of wide materials or large furnishings.

Furthermore, this building serves as an exceptional secure garden storage facility for substantial landscaping machinery. The 12mm tongue-and-groove floor delivers robust support for mowers, and the pent roofline effectively disperses rainfall, while the 34mm x 62mm pressure-treated floor bearers defend against ground-level dampness all year round.

Does A Log Cabin Require Planning Permission?

The garden room designs have been created in accordance with 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 summerhouse.

Log Cabin Base

We recommend that log cabins be sited on pre-laid, level, solid, and dry ground. A foundation of hardcore, compacted, and concrete to give a stable and even footing for your cabin to sit on. You can request 'Guidelines for Preparing a Concrete Base' through our 'Contact Us' Section. Alternatively, create a strong, level foundation for your garden building with the Gorilla Ground Screws DIY Foundation Kit. This convenient system provides an effective alternative to traditional concrete bases. The complete kit is delivered directly to your door and is designed for DIY installation using standard household tools.

Please note that the log cabin assembly option does not include assembly of the DIY base.

Log Cabin Aftercare

The Shire Tilney Log Cabin is supplied untreated. To ensure you enjoy your garden cabin for many seasons, you must apply a preservative and waterproofing topcoat immediately after installation. These treatments, followed by yearly log cabin treatment, will maintain the high-quality finish and retain the 10-year anti-rot guarantee. A 1-year manufacturer's warranty is included as standard.

To treat the log cabin, elbec recommends Protek wood treatment. Browse our Protek Royal Exterior Wood Finish Paint range to find the best paint colour to add your personalised finish. We have selected some of the best-selling Protek Royal Colours as an option on this page and the highly recommended Protek Wood Preserver++.

Upon Delivery
Delivery is made by Shire the manufacturer. Delivery of this item is typically made by a 17 ton flat-bed (similar size to a council refuse lorry). Delivery is typically between 7am and 7pm. The delivery drivers are only insured to deliver to kerb side or driveway. We would not risk damaging your property whilst delivering a product. Unfortunately we will not be able to go through your property. Deliveries are hand-balled off by the driver.

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.

Please be aware that the installation team will require full access to your garden, 18" clearance all around the building and a firm and level base. Shire's installation team will not bring a building through your home as they are not covered by insurance to enter a customer’s home.
