Melrose Log Cabin

Melrose Log Cabin including optional veranda
(Style of windows may vary)

The Melrose is ideally suited for many purposes and is sized to suit most gardens. Constructed from 28mm thick interlocking log walls and featuring a Double Door and Double Window it makes a great summerhouse or garden office as the double door makes moving furniture in and out simple and the large window lets in a lot of light to give this cabin an airy feel. The existing window can be placed on either side of the cabin during construction and, if desired, additional windows can be ordered to be put into the other side and/or back wall of the cabin. The Melrose is available at the exceptionally low special price of £1345 including delivery.

Inside our Log Cabins

Bevelled Notches

Convenience Features:

2000mm (6’6”) High internal eaves, giving more interior space. This is the lowest point inside so you’re unlikely to hit your head on the ceiling unless you’re taller than 6’6”.
Double Door, this gives ease of access to the Cabin when moving items into and out of it and also allows more fresh air into the cabin during summer months if desired.
Single Window featuring tilt ‘n’ turn facility, all of our windows feature a tilt ‘n’ turn facility so that you can leave the window on tilt to let some fresh air in and still have some security or fully open it.
1200mm (4’) (approx) overhanging canopy to the front of the cabin, creates a shady place ideal for relaxing outside on a sunny day, which also offers some protection from rain. The canopy can be cut back during construction quite easily if a smaller overhang is desired.

Construction Features:

28mm Thick tongue and grooved interlocking log walls featuring bevelled notches for ease of assembly and a better seal when compared to straight cut notches.

19mm Thick tongue and grooved roofing and flooring for a sturdier roof and to prevent bounce in the floor when walking upon it.

Large 80mm x 60mm Pressure treated floor bearers to prevent fungal decay and damage by insects. The bearers sit underneath the whole of the cabin so that everything in contact with the foundation is pressure treated, unlike some other suppliers cabins.

Heavy duty 134mm x 38mm Roof beams to prevent ‘sagging’, pre-notched to slot onto apexes

Pre-assembled, pre-notched apexes for front and back walls.

Top wall section for side walls is cut to the angle of the roof to aid the nailing down of the roof boards.

Storm protection beams are provided to secure the apex sections to the lower sections of the wall.

All wood is planed, pre-cut (with the exception of trims), pre-notched pine or spruce to ensure a rapid and easy assembly.

Windows and single doors are pre-hung and pre-assembled to simply slot into place.

Double doors are provided as 6 assembled pieces that slot together then slot into place.

Optional Features:

Veranda, gives an ideal seating area to the front of the cabin. At 4’ deep it sits neatly under the 4’ canopy of the Cabin. Consists of two banisters and pressure treated flooring and bearers.

Single window, can be placed in any of the walls except the front.

Double window, can be placed in any of the walls except the front

Single door, can be placed in any of the walls except the front (Please note that when the door is placed at the side of the cabin it has to be assembled with the door opening inwards, otherwise it catches on the edge of the roof)

Double door, can be placed in any of the walls except the front (Please note that when the door is placed at the side of the cabin it has to be assembled with the door opening inwards, otherwise it catches on the edge of the roof)

Assembly:

This is a brief description of the assembly process, more detailed instructions will come with your cabin.

The first step is to construct a base for the cabin, we recommend a solid concrete base, other options are: strips of concrete, sleepers, sufficiently supported decking, or point foundations made of flagstones. The base size for this Cabin would be 3.0m wide by 2.4m deep (without veranda) or 3.6m deep (with veranda). This will give a base that lies in line with the outside edge of the walls, to aid drainage. The roofing material of your choice can easily be purchased from you local DIY store.

The construction of the cabin itself starts with the bearers, which need to be nailed together. Then assemble the interlocking log walls by slotting them together and slotting in the windows and doors. Slot on the apexes, supplied in one or two sections, and slot the roof beams onto these. Nail the roof boards onto the roof beams and nail the floor boards onto the bearers. Attach your roofing material onto the roof boards and attach trims around the edge of the roof where appropriate and to the edge of the floor. Then bolt on the storm protection beams. This is essentially the building process and should take one day to lay the base and a further day to erect the cabin with two people working on the project. An installation manual is provided with the cabin. All screws, nails needed are provided with the cabin.

Note: The Log Cabin will be delivered on a flat bed van and you will need to unload it by hand, the driver will assist with this. The cabin is made from kiln dried timber and must be covered if it is to be stored outside prior to construction and treatment. This is to prevent moisture/rain from warping and rotting the timber, unless you plan to store the cabin inside, you will need tarpaulins or similar to provide cover for the wood.

No te: Roofing felt is not supplied.
