Description

Are you seeking a serene retreat nestled right in your garden? The Mercia 2.4m x 2.4m Pent Log Cabin is an exquisite, compact garden room designed to fit perfectly into any garden without being intrusive. The design features a large opening window and half-glazed double doors, ensuring a bright, airy, inviting interior. With ample room for comfortable seating, a coffee table, and shelving units, this cabin is ideal for a cosy reading nook, a dedicated hobby area, or a tranquil home office. The sleek, modern pent-roof design offers aesthetic appeal and functionality, effectively guiding rainwater away to prevent water accumulation.

Crafted in the UK, this log cabin is built exclusively with sustainably sourced timber. Its construction relies on high-quality, 19mm Scandinavian pine tongue and groove log boards, promising a robust and enduring finish. The boards ingeniously interlock to form weatherproof and heat-retaining panels, making the cabin usable throughout the year. The roof and floor utilise hard-wearing tongue and groove boards, ensuring a sturdy build. We supply high-quality mineral felt as standard to protect your cabin from weather elements and prolong its lifespan.

We understand the importance of security; hence, we provide antique-style handles, hinges, and a lock and key for the door. The cabin's glazing uses high-strength SAN styrene, a safer and shatterproof alternative to traditional glass. Please note the cabin arrives untreated and will need a coat of high-quality timber treatment post-installation. The log cabin is delivered as individual tongue and groove timber lengths, and it should be assembled on a firm and level base.

Log Cabin Options

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

3m x 2.4m Mercia Pent Log Cabin - 19mm

4m x 3m Mercia Pent Log Cabin - 19mm

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.

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.
