The Forest Elmley 5.0m x 3.0m Log Cabin combines contemporary styling with premium construction to create a spacious and versatile garden building. Featuring a modern pent roof and a generous 5m x 3m footprint, the Elmley provides approximately 12.77m² (137ft²) of internal floor space, making it ideal for a wide range of uses including a home office, garden studio, gym, hobby room, or additional living area.
With its large glazed frontage and side window, the cabin is filled with natural light, creating a bright, comfortable environment throughout the day.
Designed for Modern Garden Living
The Elmley offers an excellent balance of style and practicality. Two large front windows, a full-height side window, and glazed double doors maximise natural light while providing attractive views of your garden.
The ¾-length side window can be installed in either the left or right wall during construction, allowing you to customise the layout to suit your outdoor space.
With internal floor dimensions of approximately 4.7m x 2.7m, the cabin offers enough room for a variety of layouts, including:
- Multi-person home office.
- Office and lounge combination.
- Garden gym.
- Hobby or craft room.
- Games room.
- Additional family living or entertaining space.
Premium Timber Construction
Constructed from slow-grown Nordic Spruce, the Elmley features substantial 45mm interlocking log walls that provide excellent structural strength, natural insulation, and long-lasting durability.
Both the roof and floor are built using robust 19mm tongue and groove boards, creating a solid, stable building that's designed for year-round use.
The cabin is fitted throughout with double glazed toughened glass, while the three opening windows feature convenient tilt and turn mechanisms, allowing you to choose between secure ventilation or fully opening the windows when required.
The double entrance doors are fitted with a secure mortise locking system for added peace of mind.
Durable Polyester Felt Roofing
This version is supplied with a 24kg polyester felt roof without underlay. The polyester-reinforced felt offers significantly greater tear resistance than traditional mineral felt and can provide a lifespan of up to 15 years when installed correctly.
For additional protection and longevity, Forest also offers upgraded roofing options that include black sand felt underlay or a heavier 34kg polyester felt.
The cabin is supplied untreated and kiln dried, allowing you to apply your preferred timber preservative or finish after installation. Forest recommends treating the timber with a suitable solvent-based preservative immediately after assembly.
Delivery is made using a crane off-load vehicle, with optional professional installation available. The cabin should always be installed on a solid, level base, such as poured concrete.
