Garden Log Cabin Man Cave Home Office Summer House Outdoor Living Room - Severn (5m x 3m)

Product Information

Unlike most log cabin companies that fit their products with either plastic glazing such as styrene, acrylic and Perspex or shed-spec glass alternatives such as 3mm horticultural glass we don’t. We break the mould by only using 4mm toughened glass, as we feel this is the most durable and secure in comparison to the rest – trust us, we’ve tested it. The UK's most beautiful log cabins offer all the rustic charm and rural scenes we like for our staycations. Our 28mm log cabins come with single glazing as standard, which consists of a single pane of 4mm toughened glass, able to repel stray footballs. Whereas our 45mm log cabins come with 24mm double glazing included at no extra cost. Our 24mm double glazed sealed unit comprises of two, 4mm single glazed panes of toughened glass on either side of an aluminium spacer bar, designed to absorb any excess moisture within the sealed unit. Don’t worry, we’ve got this one covered. We’re experts when it comes to all things timber, so we have designed our products from the ground up with its natural properties in mind. Very thorough instructions & trouble shooting advice which if you proceed steadily & identify parts before diving in is frankly idiot proof.

We are here to lead you step by step through the felting of your roof. The process of felting an apex roof is ever so slightly different to a pent as it is pointed rather than a sloping roof. So make sure you are following the correct instructions for your model! All of our products are delivered using our own fleet of vehicles, not sub-contractors. We have a large number of vehicles dedicated to delivering our quality products so we can guarantee maximum care is taken during the delivery process. After building your timber product, this natural construction will begin to ‘settle’. This means that you will likely see some natural timber imperfections appear. These types of natural imperfections can include:

Due to the unique design of a Dunster House product, in the vast majority of cases our garden buildings can be installed without the need for planning permission. If you intend on putting an outbuilding in front of the main elevation of your property (as it was originally built or as it was on 1st July 1948) will require Planning Permission.

How you customise and decorate your product is up to you, however we would recommend that you use an appropriate water repellent treatment. This really helps minimise the amount of moisture that the timber can absorb. Therefore minimising the risk of any major movement. Our garden buildings really are built to last therefore we use only the highest quality, slow-grown spruce. Spruce is much more resilient to warps and splits compared to its cheaper alternative pine. Being a whitewood, it doesn’t discolour anywhere near as much as pine so it is also much more aesthetically pleasing for a log cabin. Considered more stable, less knotty and resinous than pine, spruce will also produce a lot less sap. It is also less dense meaning it is not as susceptible to mould and rot. The cabin is also appealing to train spotters/ rail enthusiasts. Highley train station is very close by, as is the local train museum. Some of the rarest steam trains can be seen passing through Highley. Indeed the trains attract tourists from all over, a great place to bring the children to experience ways of travel in time gone by. Dunster House will ensure that information about suppliers and material is gathered as part of the RPP. We will ensure regular engagement with our suppliers to ensure compliance with UKTR requirements, working with them to ensure continuous improvements. We will also specify that, wherever possible, that material sourced is covered by FSC and PEFC, to ensure responsible forest management. Wonderful any time of year, log cabins getaways are ideal in the warmer months when you can make the most of the lush surroundings and scents, while the colder seasons mean inviting wood burners for a cosy atmosphere.Dunster House are committed to promoting responsible stewardship of the environment and its natural resources. We are committed to lessening the impact on the environment caused by our own activities, and those of our suppliers. We totally understand that DIY is not for everyone and it can be very overwhelming to start building your own garden product. Therefore, you may want to consider getting in touch with a local carpenter or handyman to install it for you. On pressure-treated timbers, you may notice some subtle striation marks. These marks sometimes appear during the drying process of timbers. Fear not! In time, the marks will begin to fade as the sun starts to lighten the wood. Whether you opt to build your product yourself, don’t be afraid to tighten the odd bolt here and there. Your product is a life improving investment, so it’s only right to give it some love and care from time to time. Make sure that it’s properly treated before the rainy months, and you make adjustments to doors and window frames, when needed.

Unfortunately, we do not offer installation currently. All our garden buildings have been designed on the basis that any competent DIY customer will have no problem installing a product themselves in a short amount of time.Ventilation and circulation of fresh air is also important for the wellbeing of you and your garden building and helps to maintain a relaxed and comfortable environment inside. Flyscreens for windows give effective protection so you don’t have the annoyance of flies and other creepy crawlies. Offering beautiful and comfortable holiday cottages sleeping 2-8 people. Weekly short breaks from 3 nights minimum available. They are all equipped with TV and DVD players and internet access. Bed linen and towels are included as well as gas and electric. The properties are situated just below the village of Highley nestled in the Severn Valley, between the River Severn and the Severn Valley Steam Railway (30 yards from both). They all have beautiful clear views over the river and the valley - perfect for people who want to get away from it all for some peace and quiet. With no main roads or industry anywhere nearby. River walks connect to a network of footpaths. The walks can lead you deep into nowhere, or to one of several villages and museums around the area, and of course to the 17th Century Ship Inn which is in between the cottages and lodges. Continue to lay down the felt, and nail down with even spaces as you go through. Overlap the adjoining layers by 200mm, and seal those joints with felt adhesive. Once laid, nail the edges down. If the garden building exceeds over 2.5m tall - the majority of Dunster House buildings do not exceed this.
