Apex Roof Cabins
Read More
An apex roof cabin features two sloping roof panels that meet at a central ridge, forming a triangular profile. This traditional roof style is widely used on log cabins and garden buildings because it combines durability, practicality, and a visually appealing structure.
The pitched design allows rainwater and snow to run off easily while creating a spacious feel inside the building.

34mm Interlocking Timber Provides Excellent Insulation
Our 34mm wall logs are the most common type of log used in log cabins due to their eco-friendly design. These logs are also incredibly strong and durable, providing good insulation throughout the year.
The insulation properties are due to the log’s dense structure. The dense wood fibres trap air, which acts as a natural insulator, reducing electricity usage and enhancing sustainability.
Additionally, the wood fibres are coated with a natural wax that helps to further reduce heat loss.
Insulation Opportunities
To enhance the longevity and appearance of your log cabin, we offer a variety of convenient optional add-ons. While they may cost you extra upfront, they’re an excellent long-term investment. Our add-ons include:
- Roof shingles
- EPDM rubber roofing
- Wood treatment for walls, floors and doors
- Triple glazing for windows and doors
Different Log Thicknesses To Choose From
While our 34 mm log thickness is a versatile and popular choice, we also offer wall logs in a range of thicknesses to suit your needs:
- 28 mm
- 34 mm
- 44 mm
- 68 mm
- 90 mm
Increased Internal Headroom
The pitched roof creates additional height inside the cabin, making the space feel larger and more comfortable. This is especially useful if you plan to use your cabin as a garden office, studio, or gym.
Excellent Water Drainage
Because of the sloped roof design, rainwater runs off efficiently, helping protect the structure and roof covering from standing water.
Traditional Garden Building Style
Apex roofs have a classic appearance that complements both modern and traditional gardens, making them a popular choice for homeowners.
Flexible Interior Layout
The additional roof height allows for better placement of lighting, storage, and taller furniture compared to flatter roof designs.
