Forest Mendip 5.0m x 4.0m Log Cabin – Pent Roof, Double Glazed with Polyester Felt
The Forest Mendip 5.0m x 4.0m Log Cabin is a spacious and contemporary garden building that combines premium construction with a sleek pent roof design. Offering approximately 17.5m² (188ft²) of internal floor space, it's an excellent choice for anyone looking to create a large home office, garden lounge, hobby room, gym, entertainment space, or a stylish extension to their living area.
Designed with generous glazing and robust timber construction, the Mendip delivers comfort, versatility, and long-lasting performance for year-round enjoyment.
Bright, Spacious and Exceptionally Versatile
With two large front windows, a full-height side window and glazed double entrance doors, the Mendip is flooded with natural daylight, creating a bright and welcoming environment throughout the day.
The spacious interior provides ample room for a variety of layouts, whether you're designing a professional home office, combining a workspace with a lounge, creating a dining area, or building your own garden games room or gym.
The ¾-length side window can be installed in either the left or right-hand wall during construction, giving you added flexibility when planning the layout of your garden.
Internal floor dimensions of approximately 4.7m x 3.7m provide generous wall space for desks, storage units, shelving, seating, or larger furniture.
Premium Nordic Spruce Construction
Built from slow-grown Nordic Spruce, the Mendip features substantial 45mm interlocking log walls that provide excellent structural strength, natural insulation, and long-term durability.
Both the roof and floor are manufactured using heavy-duty 19mm tongue and groove boards, creating a solid and stable structure suitable for everyday use.
The cabin is fitted throughout with double glazed toughened glass, while all three opening windows feature convenient tilt and turn mechanisms, allowing you to choose between secure ventilation or fully opening the windows.
The glazed double doors are fitted with a secure mortise locking system, helping to keep your cabin safe and secure.
Durable Polyester Felt Roofing
This model is supplied with a 24kg polyester felt roof without underlay. The polyester-reinforced felt provides significantly greater tear resistance than traditional mineral felt and, when correctly installed, offers an expected lifespan of up to 15 years.
For even greater weather protection, Forest also offers upgraded roofing options with 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 decorative finish after installation. Forest recommends applying a suitable solvent-based timber preservative immediately after assembly.
All deliveries are completed using a crane off-load vehicle, with optional professional installation available. For best results, the cabin should always be erected on a solid, level base, such as poured concrete.
