Most families will be heading into their gardens over the following week, as the country prepares for its hottest temperatures of the year so far. However, staying out all day in the sunshine can be extremely difficult with children, so here are some tips on how to survive the heatwave in the garden.
The Met Office has issued amber extreme heat weather warnings for the beginning of next week (July 17th), predicting that temperatures could exceed 35C in the south-east of England. In addition to this, many areas of the UK will experience 32C, though figures could be even higher than this.
Therefore, it is wise to keep kids out of the sunshine, particularly during the hottest parts of the day. You won’t want to stay cooped up in the house, however, which is why spending time in your garden log cabin is a good idea.
Set up some toys in there and a fan, and they can enjoy being outside without the risk of sunburn or sunstroke.
The best way to enjoy being in the garden when it is exceedingly hot outside is to make sure you have plenty of shade. For those who don’t have a log cabin, you can get your hands on gazebos that will shield those underneath from the glare of the sun. If you are eating outside, make sure your table has a wide umbrella, so you can dine in comfort and safety.
There is no better time to make use of paddling pools, water guns, slip-and-slide mats, and sprinklers than during a heatwave. Make sure you inflate everything you have in time for the weekend, so the kids can cool themselves down with cold water from the outside tap.

Delivery was efficient, all well packaged and protected from damage. Constructed by three of us in one and a half days. Everything fitted perfectly and needed gentle mallet to locate exactly. Instruction book was clear simple and explicit. Thoroughly delighted with the construction and the finish. Very pleased that Martin was able to redraw the design to our specification. Delighted with the whole thing, finish, price and service. Thanks Martin.

Great quality item with simple, concise instructions, easily constructed by the family. Great delivery service. However, the customer service from Garden Adventure was not great; the cabin was a month late arriving, we had to chase for information regarding this as none was forthcoming. The incorrect bearers arrived and although we received a refund we had to chase for this. Not sure I would recommend them but the cabin materials were great.

Seamless ordering, Martin was extremely helpful with all my questions. Delivery was also fantastic with the delivery guy very helpful (it's a big delivery). Took me and elderly father in law 2 days to get it all up and built/weather tight, went together very easily with no issues. I went for the shingle roof, it still came also with felt which could be used as roof underlay. For spec I went for the superior level glazing with toughened glass, also went for the larger logs (68mm) and glad I did as feels so sturdy/insulated although am sure the 44mm would be great also. I Insulated the floor with celotex, could have done the roof but as this is a garden room rather than office etc I didn't go that far. Overall a highly recommended product, for what you get I think it's a very competitive price, much better than others I had seen that weren't so good. The only parts I bought myself were the insulation and guttering (and paint/preserve of course). I want it to last so did two coats of preserve, knotting and two of paint, also have a sealant to go on which is yet to be done. A sprayer really helped/cut down on time. Would not hesitate in recommending Martin to purchase through, helpful all through the process and very quick to respond. 5*

Great cabin. Excellent quality. From the initial ordering and having it customised to my specs, to screwing on the last piece of trim this has been a pleasure. Straight forward to assemble. Had everything but the roof covering done in a day on account of how well it went together. Sturdy high quality build. Could not be happier. This company have been an absolute pleasure to deal with. Top marks 👍

Really pleased with our log cabin! Can't believe the quality of the wood. It took the installation team (Lee Stuart and 3 others who were recommended by Martin) 6.5 hours which was really impressive given the weather conditions on the day, and even they said how good the quality was. It is so warm inside and we didn't even have the insulation installed. Great correspondence from Martin from the start to keep us in the loop regarding production and delivery times. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thanks Martin!
