Reverse Apex Roof Cabins

A reverse apex roof changes the orientation of the cabin’s highest roof line, creating a wide, open front elevation that maximises natural light and gives the building a distinctive modern look.

Key advantages include:

• Striking modern appearance that stands out in the garden

• Perfect for glazing across the front, allowing more natural light

• Improved internal ceiling height across the width of the cabin

• Ideal for open-plan layouts such as offices or gyms

• Excellent rainwater runoff thanks to the angled roof design

Because the roof ridge runs side-to-side, reverse apex cabins often feel more spacious and balanced, particularly when positioned facing patios or seating areas.

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 

Reverse apex log cabins combine style and practicality. Most models include features designed to maximise comfort, durability and usability throughout the year.

Typical features include:

• High-quality interlocking log wall construction

• Wide front-facing roof pitch for a bold visual profile

• Double doors or bi-fold style openings for easy access

• Large windows for maximum daylight

• Strong tongue-and-groove roof and floor boards

• Durable roofing felt or upgrade options available

These cabins are designed to be robust, weather-resistant, and long-lasting, making them a reliable garden building investment.

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.
