            Ways to Make the Most of Your Abbeyford Log Cabin

            An Abbeyford Log Cabin is the ideal purchase for anyone looking to get more out of their garden, especially if they are low on space in their homes and moving house or extending are not convenient options. The real benefit of opting for a log cabin as opposed to other types of garden building is that it will give you the space you need with some considerable style, not to mention the fact that they can be used all year round. As a place to relax away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life in the beautiful surroundings of your garden, it is hard to beat a log cabin. Whether you like to revel in the tranquillity of your cabin with a good book, or perhaps you love hosting get-togethers of friends and family, the Abbeyford would provide a picturesque setting in which to do so. The peace and quiet of your cabin and the garden setting also makes the Abbeyford ideal as a home office. Away from possible distractions in your home, many find this atmosphere is perfect for concentrating on work. Alternatively, many customers love taking advantage of their log cabins as a place to pursue their favourite spare-time activities. Whether you’re a keen model maker looking for somewhere quiet to focus on your craft, or perhaps you’d like to set up an entertainment centre that the whole family can enjoy, then the Abbeyford could be the solution. With many alternative sizes in the Abbeyford range offered as standard, as well as made to measure cabins available on request, we are certain that you’ll find the perfect garden building for your needs and that it will quickly establish itself as a favourite place in which to spend your time.

            Why Others Tell Us They Love the Abbeyford

            Lovers of a classic, cosy and homely cabin aesthetic are always immediately drawn to the Abbeyford. The elegant Georgian-style glazing used for the windows and double doors provides a touch of the traditional and the handcrafted, proper joinery used is a quality feature that you will only find on Shire Log Cabins. The double doors and double opening windows can be opened wide on those extra-sunny days to create a cool, airy interior. Alternatively, you will find the interior is cosy all year round with the windows and doors shut thanks to the cabin’s thick walls and draught seal systems. The apex roof adds to the traditional appearance and creates a picturesque log cabin package which looks at first glance more like a small home than a garden building. The inside is bright and spacious with plenty of headroom. The spaciousness combined with the thick roof beams and skirting boards, which finish the interior nicely, make spending time inside a real pleasure. Our customers often like to add their own personal touch by painting their log cabins and they look fantastic in any colour. Shire recommends that you use Protek paint, available from elbec in a wide variety of colours. By using Protek Royal Exterior, you can make the Abbeyford look exactly how you want it while adding extra protection to the timber. Whether you love bold, bright colours or a more natural wood finish, Protek have a colour to suit any taste.

            Features

            The Abbeyford is built to last, as are all Shire Log Cabins. With 4-way corner joints and interlocking logs of the highest quality used as standard, we are certain you will be impressed by the strength, stability and sturdy feel of the Abbeyford Log Cabin. The Shire draught seal system on all external windows and doors also ensures that you will be snug inside your cabin all year round. Made from 28mm thick wall logs as standard, you will find this gives the interior plenty of insulation for year-round use. However, many customers opt to upgrade the thickness of their walls for an even cosier interior and you can choose from 34mm, 44mm and 70mm thick wall logs for your cabin. On top of this, the window glazing can be easily upgraded to improve insulation. Quality Celotex roof and floor insulation can also be included as part of our bespoke service to help ensure a snug interior whatever the weather. The door can be locked securely using the mortise lock and key provided, giving you peace of mind when leaving items inside. At the time of assembly, you can choose on which side of your cabin frontage you would like the doors and windows in relation to one another. The Abbeyford, like all Shire Log Cabins, can be dismantled and rebuilt should you ever decide to move, a useful feature when investing in a log cabin. We’re pleased to offer the option of booking our dedicated professionals who will assemble your log cabin quickly and correctly.

            About the Timber

            You will be impressed by Shire's use of natural products and their environmental credentials. A high quality timber log cabin starts with high quality timber, so it is important to know exactly what timber is being used for your log cabin. The most commonly used timber for garden buildings is pine (pinus) as this is widely available for a very cheap price, however all of Shire's garden buildings are constructed using high quality spruce (picea) and is sourced from Scandinavia under strict FSC guidance. Spruce is more durable than pine and provides a higher quality finish. This timber is slow grown unlike fast grown British and Eastern Europe's timber, being slow grown timber means a tighter grain, less sap and with far fewer knots. The timber used on Shire's log cabins is therefore a more durable timber that will last much longer than other timbers used on log cabins. Spruce is therefore the timber of choice for companies such as Shire who always look to produce the best garden building.

            Base

            It is important that the base for your log cabin is firm and level. You can request 'Guidelines for Preparing a Concrete Base' through our 'Contact Us' Section.

            Footprint:

            To illustrate the dimensions for this log cabin, the footprint shown below relates to the 3590mmG x 4190mm (12'G (Door Side) x 14') Log Cabin and does not include the roof overhang. The symbol (G) relates to the Gable End which for this log cabin is the front width (door side) and is the first measurement. The second measurement relates to the depth therefore for a 3590G x 4190mm (12G x 14') model the door/front width is the 12ft measurement.
