Crafting Andy N's Dream Cabin
Andy approached Garden Adventure with a clear idea of what he wanted to provision an outdoor skills classroom for his daughters Duke of Edinburgh group. So far, he had not had a good experience in this challenge and was pleased at our initial response.
1. Initial Consultation and Design
We sat down and we shared images of our standard cabin designs. Together, we discussed Andy's vision for his cabin, including his desired size, layout, and features. Andy was able to pick out the bits he wanted from each that we could then put together as a set of plans for him to view and pass comment. Armed with this information, the design team set to work creating a bespoke cabin plan that would bring Andy's vision to life. Through open communication and collaboration, Andy was able to provide input and feedback at every stage of the design process, ensuring that the final plan met his exact specifications.
2. Custom Sizing and Modifications
One of the key requirements for Andy's cabin was custom sizing to fit a specific location on his property. The design team worked closely with Andy to determine the optimal dimensions for his cabin, taking into account factors such as available space, site conditions, and local regulations. Through careful planning and precise measurements, they were able to create a custom-sized cabin that maximised usable space while seamlessly integrating with its surroundings. Additional windows were added and a wider porch area to provide a covered area and protection from the elements.
3. Selection of Materials and Finishes
With the cabin design finalised, Andy turned his attention to selecting materials and finishes that would bring his vision to life. Drawing inspiration from the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape, Andy opted for high-quality timber sourced from sustainable forests for the construction of his cabin. Due to its size, we recommended a log thickness of no less than 44mm. The options were 44, 68 and 90mm. The final spec was 68mm.
4. Installation and Finishing Touches
Once the cabin components were manufactured to Andy's specifications, the cabin was shipped to the UK and distributed to his location from the UK hub in Leicester. During installation, optional insulation was added to the under floor and roof and guttering provided a means of harvesting the water and protecting the cabin from splash back.
5. Enjoying the Finished Product
With the installation complete and the finishing touches in place, Andy's custom-sized Monterosa cabin was ready for his daughters group to enjoy.
Conclusion: A Cabin Tailored to Perfection
In conclusion, Andy's journey of creating a custom-sized Monterosa cabin exemplifies the power of bespoke design and craftsmanship. By working closely with the team at Garden Adventure, Andy was able to create a cabin that not only met but exceeded his expectations. From the initial consultation and design to the selection of materials and finishes, installation, and enjoyment of the finished product, Andy's custom-sized Monterosa cabin is a testament to the transformative power of personalised design and attention to detail.

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!
