The Forest Blakedown 6.0m x 4.0m Log Cabin is the largest apex roof cabin in the Forest Garden range, offering an impressive 21.2m² (228ft²) of internal floor space. Designed for year-round use, this spacious log cabin is ideal as a home office, gym, workshop, hobby room, garden studio, or additional living area.
Featuring a traditional reverse apex roof, premium 45mm interlocking log walls, and high-performance double glazed toughened glass, the Blakedown combines classic styling with modern performance. This version is finished with an attractive felt shingle roof and black sand felt underlay, giving the cabin a more traditional tiled appearance while providing long-lasting weather protection.
Large, Bright and Highly Versatile
With a generous footprint of 6 metres wide by 4 metres deep, the Blakedown offers exceptional flexibility for both work and leisure. Its spacious interior provides plenty of room to create a comfortable office, fitness studio, workshop, games room, or multi-purpose family space.
The front elevation features double glazed double doors, three large front windows, and two additional side windows, allowing natural daylight to flood the cabin throughout the day. The double entrance doors can be installed on either the left or right-hand side during assembly, making it easy to suit your preferred garden layout.
Premium Construction Built to Last
Manufactured from slow-grown Nordic Spruce, the cabin features substantial 45mm interlocking log walls, providing excellent insulation, strength, and long-term durability.
The roof and floor are constructed using durable 19mm tongue and groove boards, while the traditional reverse apex roof offers approximately 2.5 metres of internal headroom, creating a spacious and airy interior.
All glazing is fitted with double glazed toughened glass, improving thermal performance, security, and durability. The five opening tilt and turn windows can be opened fully or tilted inward to provide excellent ventilation throughout the cabin.
Traditional Felt Shingle Roof Finish
This version is supplied with an attractive felt shingle roof system, complete with black sand felt underlay. The felt shingles create the appearance of traditional roof tiles while providing reliable weather resistance and long-lasting protection against the elements.
The cabin is supplied untreated and kiln dried, allowing you to apply your preferred timber finish once installation is complete. A suitable solvent-based wood preservative should be applied immediately after assembly to protect the timber.
Delivery is made using a crane off-load vehicle, and an optional professional assembly service is available. The cabin must always be installed on a solid, level foundation, such as a poured concrete base.
