Garden Office Cabins

Our range of wooden garden offices has been fine-tuned over the many years we have been involved in the industry. Our wooden structures can be used as a multi-room garden office, a garden shed or a playhouse for children.  

They are made from logs that have been cut and treated to withstand the elements. They also have large windows and options for double doors to provide light and ventilation. Some garden log cabins have a terrace or other outdoor space, making them ideal for relaxing or entertaining guests.

How To Choose The Right Log Cabin Office

Garden offices are a popular choice for people who want to add extra space to their homes or create a dedicated outdoor workspace for a healthier work-life balance. They are also a great option for people who want to create a more natural and rustic feel in their own garden to enhance their home life.

When choosing a garden office, there are a few factors to consider. These include:

• Size: The dimensions of the interior walls and floors of the garden office building will depend on your needs and the amount of garden space you have available. Fortunately, our garden rooms come in various styles and dimensions to suit all preferences.
• Purpose: Consider what you will be using the cabin for. This will help you to choose the right size and type of log cabin for your needs. 
• Budget: Log cabins, especially fully insulated garden offices, can range in price from a few thousand pounds to tens of thousands of pounds. Set a budget before you start shopping so that you don't overspend. 
• Quality: It’s important to choose a garden office pod that is made from high-quality materials and is well-constructed.   

Planning Permission & Other Important Considerations

An outdoor office in the UK may require planning permission from your local planning authority if it is over 2.5 metres in height, so it’s important to double-check.

Once you’ve decided on your budget, location and measurements of your garden office log cabin, you’ll need to consult your local UK planning permission guide to ensure compliance.

For a quick overview, take a look at our guide on planning permission and building regulations for an easy-to-follow guide on what you need to consider when buying garden offices.

Here at Log Cabin Kits, we are delighted to offer a wide range of garden office buildings that will provide sufficient designs and meet the standards of the most demanding environments and budgets. Below is a complete guide to everything you need to know about our selection of garden buildings.

We offer a wide range of garden office buildings to suit most needs of our customers, including the following:

• Traditional Log Cabins: These are the most common and classic type of outdoor building. These are often used as stylish garden offices due to their simple and elegant structure, with a pitched roof and interlocking logs. They are suitable for all seasons, as they provide good insulation and durability. They come in various sizes and shapes and can be customised with different windows, doors and accessories. Traditional log cabins are also extremely versatile, making them an excellent choice for those looking for a multi-purpose building.
• Modern Log Cabins: These are the more contemporary and stylish types and can be used for a variety of purposes. They have a flat roof and a sleek design with smooth and clean lines. A modern garden office is ideal for people who want to create a minimalist and chic look in their gardens. They also offer more natural light and space, as they have large windows and doors. These distinct features make them an excellent choice for those seeking contemporary garden offices with eye-catching features.
• Corner Log Cabins: These types are designed to fit in the corner of your garden, providing private space for a secluded outside office. They have a pentagonal or hexagonal shape, with two walls that are perpendicular to each other. Garden offices are perfect for people who want to save space and make the most of their garden area. They also create a cosy and intimate atmosphere, as they have a snug and compact design.
• Multi-Room Log Cabins: These garden rooms have a larger and more complex design, with partitions and doors that create separate rooms. They are suitable for people who need more functionality and versatility, making them the perfect choice for homeowners looking for a multi-room garden for extra business equipment. You can use them as a home office, spare room, workshop, storage room, or any other combination of uses that you need.

Variety of Cabin Sizes & Specifications

Our standard designs offer a variety of sizes and specifications reflected in our competitive prices. We have a wide range of dimensions available for our garden office buildings, providing options for various needs and space constraints. Below is a general overview of our sizes:

• Smaller Cabins: 3000 mm x 3000 mm or 2500 mm x 2500 mm
• Medium-Sized Cabins: 4000 mm x 3000 mm or 5000 mm x 3000 mm
• Larger Cabins: 6000 mm x 4000 mm or 7000 mm x 4000 mm

If the above sizes don’t fit your requirements, you can customise the design to ensure you receive the best garden office for your needs.

Many Log Sizes To Choose From

All our log cabins are manufactured to high standards using fully interlocking logs in various thicknesses with glass-glazed windows and doors. We offer a range of wall logs, providing you with options to customise your cabin's thickness. This will also ensure your insulated garden office is warm and comfortable year-round. Here’s an overview of the different log sizes to help you choose which option suits you best:

• 28 mm — Suitable for moderate use during warmer months, offering basic protection against the elements, but not ideal for colder seasons
• 34 mm — Perfect for occasional use, these thinner logs offer basic weather protection, best suited for the summer months
• 44 mm — Provides better insulation and durability, suitable for year-round use with moderate heating
• 68 mm — A thicker log option that delivers strong insulation and stability, ideal for winter use
• 90 mm — Delivers superior insulation and strength, making the cabin feel like a permanent structure built to withstand harsh weather conditions

Optional Add-Ons: Enhancements for Warmth & Durability

Double glazing is available for most of the range in three standards. They provide much better levels of heat and sound insulation than single-glazed glass or perspex found in lower-grade products. 

When making your choice on glazing and wall thickness, consider its usage. What time of year are you wanting to use it? If planning a summer house with somewhere to store your garden furniture, a thinner wall with standard glazing will suffice. 

To the other end of the scale, with all-year-round usage, a thicker wall with premium glazing makes far more sense. It’s important to also take into consideration your location, as Southern counties generally have milder winters than those north of the Midlands.

We also offer other add-ons to ensure a fully insulated garden office year-round:

• Roof shingles
• EPDM rubber roof for optimal roof insulation
• Guttering kits 
• Wood treatment options

Once your log cabin is built, you can decorate it to your liking. You may want to add furniture, plants, or other accessories to make it more comfortable and inviting.

Besides being a quiet space away from household distractions, there are many benefits to having an outdoor home office. These include:

• Extra storage space: An outdoor office can provide additional storage space for office tools, equipment and other belongings.
• Versatility: An office for your garden is ideal for self-employed individuals with their own businesses who require a quiet, dedicated workspace for productivity. An office pod can also function as a serene space for virtual meetings or a secluded environment for brainstorming sessions.
• Value for money: Not only do garden offices provide a functional and versatile space for work or leisure, but potential buyers also see them as an attractive, ready-made home office solution.
• Your own space: Home office log cabins can be used as a quiet outdoor retreat where you can enjoy peace and quiet without household distractions. 
• Natural feel: Log cabins add a natural and rustic feel to gardens. They have functional doors and windows to create natural light and ventilation, making the space feel open, airy, and connected to the outdoors.
• Affordability: Small garden offices are typically more affordable than other types of garden buildings, such as brick-and-mortar buildings.
• Durability: Our garden offices are made from spruce timber logs, constructed using a sophisticated tongue-and-groove system that makes them very strong and durable. 
• Low-maintenance: Our garden offices require minimal maintenance. We recommend applying a good quality wood treatment every 6-12 months to keep your garden office looking great year-round.

The full range of log cabins and garden office pods that we showcase on this page have many and varied features. In all cases, they share:

• Size and Design: Our garden buildings come in various shapes and sizes, from small sheds to large, multi-room structures. Each specific design can also vary, ranging from traditional to contemporary. Your garden space can be filled with a small log cabin that will negate any requirement for planning permission.
• Materials: Our garden office kits come equipped with sturdy, fully interlocking wall logs constructed from natural spruce timber. The option for double-glazed windows and doors results in a fully insulated garden office that can be enjoyed year-round.
• Roofing: The roof of a garden office can be made from a variety of materials, including shingles, metal, or EPDM rubber roof. The type of roofing will depend on the design, climate, and budget. Roof designs can be split into three main categories: apex roof, reverse apex and pent log cabin. More often, a pent-roof cabin is chosen to give a more contemporary feel to the garden room.    
• Windows and Doors: Our garden buildings feature windows and doors made from a variety of materials, including wood, metal or glass. The choice of windows and doors will depend on the design, intended use, and budget. Insulation:
• Insulation is an important feature of a garden office, especially if it will be used year-round or as a workspace. Double-glazed windows and EPDM rubber roof add-ons help to regulate the temperature inside the building, keeping it cool in the summer and warm in the winter. 
• Electrical and Plumbing: If the garden building is intended to be used as a workspace or living space, it may require electrical and plumbing connections. This will depend on the intended use and building code requirements.
• Foundation: A sturdy foundation is important for any garden building to ensure stability and longevity. The type of foundation will depend on the size and weight of the building, as well as the soil type and drainage in the area.

Overall, the key features of a garden building will depend on its intended use and the specific needs of the owner. There are many standard designs incorporating single and double doors. Double-glazing comes with three options: Standard, Superior and Premium. The best option for you will depend on how often you plan to use the building. If you plan to use it year-round, the Superior and Premium options are your best bet. Our windows are also available in various sizes and orientations to suit your individual needs.

If a standard design doesn't quite work for you, we can alter door and window positions to suit your preferences.
