Double glazing is offered in three options.
Your choice should be made by considering the building use, for example will it be used 12months of the year.
All year round points more towards Superior and Premium, a summer house really only needs to use the Standard fit. Your location will also have a bearing on which to choose - How cold does it get where you live. Scotland has far more cold days than the South East of England, for example. And budget will play a part. The better options do cost more !
In each option, the glass panes are 3mm thick and the double glazing filled with Argon Gas. What varies across the options is the divide width between panes of glass. This ranges from 6mm up to 20mm. In simple terms, the greater the cavity the more efficient and insulating the double glazing becomes.
Door and window furniture also improves with the options
Note :
Our cabin kits all come without any roofing material to weather proof the structure. We offer both felt shingles and EPDM as options, but you are most welcome to find alternatives locally to you.
Selecting this option will provision enough felt shingles to cover the roof with some to spare if laid correctly.
Felt shingles are available in four colours - Green / Grey / Red / Black.
Bourne Green
Bourne Grey
Bourne Red
Bourne Black
Standard packs have 17 pieces at 1000mm x 330mm.
If available, ridge and starter row tiles are 1000mm x 250mm and each pack contains 20 pieces covering up to 20 linear metres to line the roof edge or 12 linear metres of overlapped ridge. Note : Not all colours are available as Ridge and Starter tiles, in which case enough standard shingles will be supplied to use for this purpose.
Felt shingles require a minimum 11 degree roof pitch. It is advised to use an underlay for all pitches between 8 and 11 degrees. It is not advised to use felt shingles on a ptich less than 8 degrees.
Construction
You can see how to fit them on our page, fitting bitumen felt shingles
The EPDM Kit provisions all you need to apply EPDM to your roof including a one piece rubber sheet and glues.

We offer a toughened glass upgrade to the standard glazing.
This option upgrades all glazing in both doors and windows
Your cabin is constructed on a bearer framework. The bearer framework keeps it off the ground and away from moisture that could get into the timber and cause problems over time.
Composite bearers replace the standard wooden items supplied with the kit.
The main benefit of using a composite bearer is that they are highly resistant to moisture, rot, and insects. This means they are less likely to warp, twist, or decay over time and helps to ensure the longevity and durability of the bearer framework.
Composite bearers are also easy to work with and install. They can be cut and shaped using standard woodworking tools and they can be secured to the underlying substructure using screws or nails.
Dimensions - 3.0m x 40mm x 40mm
IMPORTANT - If you choose this upgrade, you will be supplied with sufficient lengths of joist (all 3.0m in length) to create the necessary framework - it will require you to cut the bearers to form the correct dimensions for the framework.
This upgrade has the external door(s) and window(s) painted at the factory.
The standard frames for Silverline, Superior and Premium doors and windows are all supplied in untreated timber.
Using this upgrade has the doors and windows painted at the factory in one of three colourways :
Each window or door unit has two coats of quality paint, sprayed onto all surfaces and allowed to cure before quality checked, packed and made ready for despatch.(Additional coats are applied should this be necessary)
Available in three colourways - check the RAL website for more information.
Guarantee
Your cabin will arrive in an untreated state. Only the base bearers are pretreated. All external surfaces must be treated with an appropriate wood preserver to ensure longevity of your cabin (and to validate warranty)
Here, we are offering the Barrettine Wood Preserver, a solvent based application that we believe to be one of the better products currently available. You may wish to go into the open market place to source your own, just bear in mind with these products "you get what you pay for" ! Spend a lot less and you'll be needing to re-apply the treatment every year. Go to the other end of the scale and some products quote a 10 year life span before the ned to re-apply. "You pays ya money and takes ya choice" !
We have calculated that this cabin requires 10ltrs to apply 3 coats to the external surfaces.
Features and Highlights
Barrettine Premier Wood Preserver is ideal for most exterior wood care projects, including sheds, fences, exterior windows and frames, doors, carports, shutters, garden gates and more. This product can be used as a standalone treatment or as a base-coat for a protective exterior wood oil or decking oil.

Very quick and easy process to order with a speedy delivery and excellent communication throughout from both Martin at garden adventures and the delivery company. Also very easy to assemble with just a few basic tools and a little diy experience. An excellent product at a very reasonable price highly recommended.

I have deliberately left my review a few years so I can give a worthwhile review covering the purchase, installation and ongoing experience with my cabin.Purchase: These cabins are very good value for money and Martin was very helpful with all queries. Make sure you order with Shingles for the roof - don't go cheap with felt.Delivery: Delivery was on time and the driver even managed to get it on my drive as this is a kerbside delivery. Make sure you have space in advance as you really don't want to be moving this until you're ready to build.Installation: Separate and organise everything first - it will make your life so much easier! We built ours early in the year when a little snow was falling and other than weather conditions we had no big problems. We had one timber which was cut incorrectly which needed to be re-cut... we put this at the back of the cabin so as not to affect the aesthetics. This was lucky as if it had not been fixable we'd have been left with a half built cabin in bad weather conditions with no quick fix - I'm sure Martin would have been helpful but we never contacted him as it was not necessary. Also, do not use the screws to fix the timbers together and spend time fitting the door well, this is probably the most fiddly bit. MAKE SURE YOU RETREAT THE FLOOR/SUPPORT beams before starting as you wont get a second chance! I used old car oil.Post Installation: Make sure you check what treatment to use - I believe Martin suggested what to use and this was backed up with info online. Look after the cabin and it will last a long time. If you didn't screw the timbers together the timbers will settle over time and find their natural place. We had a little difficulty removing some packing we had used around the door frame as all the timbers had dropped down as they settled. We also replaced some of the screws on the window handle fittings as they came a little loose - the original screws were too short/small and worked loose as this particlar window was opened and closed a lot. We subsequently fitted insulation between the roof rafters and plan to insulate the floor at some point.Overview: We have seen a number of other cabins since and are more than happy with the quality of ours. To conclude Garden Adventure are helpful, sell good products and you can place an order with them with confidence. I hope the above information is useful as when we were looking there was a lot of conflicting advice!!

This review is written 6 months after I finished building cabin, it was last years project. I cleared the area to lay a base last February and as it progressed I researched where best to buy, I had plenty of options but easily opted to buy from Martin when I actually spoke to him and could not find any bad reviews either, delivery was 110% quality 150% ease of putting together 90% ( would have been better if my son's....25 and 30 had helped more !!! ) To be honest I spent about £2500 and was concerned product may be sub standard and really didn't need to worry its worth double what I paid . It was going to be a shed it turned into a cabin . Extremely happy .
