The double entrance doors can be installed on either the left or right-hand side during construction, allowing the cabin to be configured to suit your garden layout.

Built for Strength and Year-Round Use
Manufactured from premium slow-grown Nordic Spruce, the Chiltern features 34mm smooth-planed interlocking log walls that provide excellent structural strength and natural insulation.
Both the roof and floor are constructed using durable 19mm tongue and groove boards, creating a robust structure that is built to last.
The cabin is fitted with double glazed toughened glass throughout, helping improve insulation, reduce external noise, and increase security. The two large front windows feature tilt and turn opening mechanisms, allowing flexible ventilation while maintaining a secure environment.
Traditional Felt Shingle Roof Finish
This version is supplied with an attractive felt shingle roof, complete with black sand felt underlay. The felt shingles create the appearance of a traditional tiled roof while providing durable weather protection and enhancing the cabin's overall appearance.
The cabin is supplied untreated and kiln dried, allowing you to finish it in the colour of your choice. To maintain the timber and maximise its lifespan, a suitable solvent-based wood preservative should be applied immediately after assembly.
All cabins are delivered using a crane off-load vehicle, with an optional professional assembly service available. The cabin must always be installed on a solid, level base, such as poured concrete.
