Description

Do the windows and doors provide sufficient daylight and cross-ventilation?

The glazed joinery double doors, one opening front window, and one opening side window supply ample daylight and reliable airflow. Equipped entirely with toughened glass, these transparent fixtures offer shatter-resistant durability while giving you clear sightlines across your lawn. Having two operable windows positioned on different elevations facilitates effective cross-ventilation, helping to regulate internal humidity during muggy British summers.

How does the timber construction defend against weather elements and daily wear?

Constructed from 19mm tongue-and-groove logs, this sturdy garden building creates an interlocking exterior that helps resist moisture ingress year-round. Beneath your feet and overhead, the 12mm tongue-and-groove floor and 12mm tongue-and-groove roof supply a rigid foundation capable of handling demanding daily usage. Furthermore, the base is elevated by 34mm x 62mm pressure-treated floor bearers, serving as a vital barrier that defends against damp ground conditions to help preserve the sustainable timber.

Why choose this combined design to optimise my garden layout?

Integrating a leisure zone and a 4ft side shed, the 6G x 14 Shire Walsoken Log Cabin efficiently optimises your 6ft x 14ft footprint. Rather than sacrificing green space to multiple separate structures, this unified model sits neatly beneath a modern pent roof to conserve room. You gain a bright primary room for daily activities, flanked by a dedicated storage compartment with its own solid single door, ensuring messy landscaping materials remain hidden yet easily accessible.

How Can I Utilise the 6x14 Cabin and Integrated Storage?

Establish a comfortable garden office or art studio in the main room, relying on the opening front window and opening side window to maintain a fresh, breathable atmosphere during intensive projects. The sturdy 12mm tongue-and-groove floor easily accommodates hefty filing cabinets or easels, while the expansive glazed joinery double doors supply the bright conditions necessary for detailed screen work or reading.

Reserve the attached 4ft side shed exclusively for securing valuable outdoor machinery, potting supplies, and sports equipment behind the discrete solid single door. This sensible segregation means you can transition seamlessly from relaxing in a pristine living area to grabbing a trowel, without tracking mud across your 19mm logs threshold.

Does A Log Cabin Require Planning Permission? 

The garden room 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 summerhouse.

Log Cabin Base

We recommend that log cabins are 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 assembly option of the log cabin does not include the assembly of the DIY base.

Log Cabin Aftercare

The Shire Walsoken Log Cabin with a side shed 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.
