Quality Timber Construction
Manufactured from premium slow-grown Nordic Spruce, the cabin features 34mm smooth-planed interlocking log walls, providing strength, stability, and natural insulation.
The roof and floor are both constructed using robust 19mm tongue and groove boards, creating a durable structure built for long-term outdoor use.
This model features single glazed toughened glass throughout, providing excellent natural light while maintaining strength and safety. The two large front windows include convenient tilt and turn opening mechanisms, allowing you to choose between full opening or secure ventilation.
24kg Polyester Felt Roofing
This version is supplied with a durable 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 even greater protection and longevity, Forest also offers upgraded roofing options with black sand felt underlay or felt shingles.
The cabin is supplied untreated and kiln dried, allowing you to apply your preferred finish once installed. A suitable solvent-based timber preservative should be applied immediately after assembly to protect the timber.
All deliveries are made using a crane off-load vehicle, with optional professional installation available. The cabin should always be erected on a solid, level base, such as poured concrete.
