Tell Me About Double Skin Log Cabins
Our insulated garden cabins are a great addition to any property. They’re cost-effective and can be transformed into a garden office, garden room, gym or studio, offering long-term flexibility and comfort.

Superior Insulation & Flexibility

Double-skin log cabin sheds are made with two layers of interlocking logs for enhanced wall and roof insulation. Both layers are typically 44 mm thick, with upgrade options up to 68 and 90 mm wall thickness for superior thermal performance. The two layers of logs are joined together with tongue-and-groove joints for improved insulation and structural stability.

Important Considerations for Insulated Log Cabins UK [“in the UK”]

If you are considering a double-skin log cabin garden office [“for your garden”], here are some key things to keep in mind:
  • Cost: Double-skin log cabins require more materials and labour than single-skin log cabins, which means higher upfront costs. However, the enhanced insulation makes them a better energy-efficient investment over time.
  • Weight: Double-skin log cabins are heavier than single-skin log cabins, so make sure your foundation is strong enough to support their weight.
  • Maintenance: Insulated garden cabins require more maintenance than single-skin cabins. This is because the air gap between the two layers of logs can trap moisture, which can lead to mould and mildew. You will need to make sure that you clean and seal the cabin regularly. Fortunately, we provide high-quality wood treatments as an optional add-on to prevent this from happening.

Location & Planning Permissions

Once you’ve selected your insulated log cabin, ensure the ground is level and has enough space for the cabin and any additional structures. It’s also important to check local planning and building regulations. Your garden building may require planning permission to stay compliant.
