​what as oppose to inches or metres?? it's obviously in feet for that price, some people argghh. good deal heat added.

Yes...

I have one of these and it is great! One room is our Gym and the other is a home cinema. It was quite a bit of work sorting out the foundations but well worth it for the final result.

NB Two people could put this together in a few days though we elected to have it erected when delivered (at additional cost)

Feel free to ask any questions!

I personally think tuin look better value.I've got one just under 30sq metres similar to this I guess.comes with double glazed French doors and 3 point opening Windows cost me £3500 delivered.built it in 2 days with an additional 2 days to shingle the roof with the help of an eleven and forteen year-old .looks daunting when it all turns up but if you follow the basic plans provided ,its not that hard really.even if you don't think tuin deco is for you there's a lot of handy information Free and available on their site.I found it helpful when checking the many sites out there for what type of wood ,what different cuts of wood are used to make the cabins ,what paint or stain to use,insulating your cabin ,lots of things I wouldn't of thought of before .mine by the way is I think 48mm single skin .I insulated it with 100mm celotex floor and roof this cost me an additional 500 quid just to purchase so bare that in mind .also cost me 800 to do the concrete base myself this included hire of concrete pump truck to save the slog of carting it a down my garden in a wheel barrow before it went off .also most log cabins will require a floor of some description as most proper cabins don't come with one unlike a shed.

Thank you again R3D2

​from what I've read as long as it is less than 30m2 and doesnt add more than 30% of tbe original size of the dwelling vs the plot you wont need planning. There are other rules that relate to distance from boundary, combustibility and apex height. It's complex and important enough to check it out yourself.

R3D2. Not sure if you're still watching this thread. How did building regs affect your build? I note the area of this is over the 30m2 threshold. But i read you can overcome this by using recognised tradesmen to do the work.

Thank you, I'll look them both up, they're not too far away. Crosses fingers :-)

​thanks for the response.

I think that would be possible but I would suggest you speak to Shire to confirm.

​rd3d2. we're looking at this project now as my son is geting older. the overall dimensions would have been perfect for a 7x3.5 pool table in the larger room, but the porch type entrance gets in the way. Do you recall if it would have been a pain to bring the door out so it was flush with the front wall of the building? thanks

Hi; Northampton

Hi, where about exactly?

If you google Brentwood Garden Centre you will find the place. Tbh, it's not cheap (costs slightly more than a lot of places), but I was able to tell them exactly what I was after and have the building made to my exact specification. As I said, I haven't taken delivery yet, so can't comment on the end product, but I have no concerns as they are local and have a good rep. Another place to look at is Wrights Sheds down the A127 if you want something built to order. Good luck with whoever you decide to go with.

There are some restrictions such as proximity to a road and to your neighbours property, maximum height etc. - these are different dependent on your local authority - check their web site for the exact details.

Who did you order from? I know almost exactly what I want, but can never find it on any of the sites. I live on the Herts/Essex border so a local supplier might be able to help.
Cheers

If you can't afford the price of this I'd recommend the Kinver one from B&Q

http://www.diy.com/departments/14x18-kinver-34mm-tongue-groove-timber-log-cabin-with-felt-roof-tiles/651539_BQ.prd?icamp=recs&rrec=true

It's only 34mm log walls, however it's good and solid and fit as a home office (I have one)

Oh dear, he's got his boyfriend on to me now.

Would you have to have planning or building consent to put a shed this size in your garden ?

I am a joiner , built 2 houses now and quite a few real sheds/workshops , I can tell you now for £4500 you can build this yourself with far better materials and will last for 25 years plus . A better design is 4x2 studs with a timber clad of choice and insulated walls and roof .

It was eurovudas http://www.mediniainameliai.lt/sodo-nameliai/medinis-namelis-Brighton-3x3m-9m%C2%B2-34mm?filter=17 I did enquire but the postage, bought it up to the same prices as elbec so we went with Elbec in the end and bought the Glenmore. We built ourselves but took two of us two full days, protecting each piece with preserver before building - tedious task. Would probably get it erected if we ever got another. If I was going for deal posted by op I would def get someone else to erect unless I was retired and had time on my hands but if you work and have kids I imagine this one is a month to build squeezed in every spare moment!

From the Tuin website comments - "Recently erected the Karen" yeah I bet you did......

​I'd be interested in more info if possible :smiley:
thanks

Yes

​get a grip!!!

is there any legalities if I used one of these to live in?

There was an item on the local news the other day about a builder being ordered to tear down the "tree house" he built for his kids, in reality a garden shed on a 1m heigh platform. The reasons given were it was over 2.5m high and also that it was less than 2m from the boundary.

@ emezoli I need someone who can assemble in the midlands. I am buying one from Tuin or Dunster House. Can your handy man save me some dosh? :smiley:

Not good for the cost, we recently bought a log cabin from Tuin which is much better than this and far cheaper, we bought a 5m x 4m cabin made with 58mm logs, all double glazed and superb quality, all for £2k.

Would love one given the space but this would fill half my garden.

Yup I'm currently waiting delivery for my outside office from Dunster House, a lot cheaper than B&Q !

This isn't a good price.

I have a 6x4m log cabin in my garden and it cost me £2k.
Take a look at any log cabin supplier like Tuin and see for yourself. £5.5k is insanely expensive for this.

Says the man who has posted 3 deals, all the same, and all collecting high minus votes.

After all your help to the site in 5 years, you're my hero.
Do you do Autograph sessions?

Isn't it 2.5m maximum height to avoid the need for planning?
Plus there is the distance from your own house, all neighbouring properties and your property's boundaries to take into account.

12mm thick floor!!!
As posted earlier, go to Dunster House or elsewhere. Better quality can be bought for less.

You didn't need to go on as much as that. :confused: Surely you could tell Scott is young, he has no idea how to construct a sentence, how to start a sentence ( ie: no capital letters), says oppose instead of opposed, uses two questions marks - one suffices!
As for 'Get a grip!!!' again one exclamation mark suffices. :stuck_out_tongue:
Don't take offence, I just couldn't resist. :smile:

Oh, and the Deal? Crap! You can buy far better quality for less than this. B&Q are fine for some things, not this. Have you seen their sheds? A gust of wind and it's gone! Go direct to the proper suppliers.

Is this the place austinc?
http://www.mediniainameliai.lt
Or this
http://www.eurowood.lt
?

Are you sure this is correct? I thought it was a max height of 2.5m? Do you know if they have to be built within a certain distance from neighbouring buildings etc or as long as it's less than 50% of the garden it's fine?

Thanks ...how do you get pictures like the trolley

there was a thread on a log cabin a while back and someone commented about a place in eastern europe, and it worked out the log cabins were a lot cheaper even with shipping, can i hell remember the site though :disappointed:

I thought it was centimeters and rather expensive for a hutch...

As these are a temporary buildings Local planning regs let me cover 50% of my garden and up to 4.5m in height so i reckon i can fit 8 of these in stacked 2 high, move in and the missus can keep the bloody house for herself!

I'm in the market for a home office and was looking at something like this one http://sanctumgardenstudios.com/gallery/hampton-gallery/ - light, airy, insulated, but around £7k fitted including base. I would be very grateful if anyone has any other recommendations!

can i live in one of those? better than pay 700 a month

You've go to add Felt Tiles + £640

"tuin" means "garden" in Dutch (true story)

If you want to save some money, I know a good handyman who would assemble it for you for around £1000 in a few days. Comment if you need further info. :wink:

Or £5480 here http://www.norfolksheds.co.uk/pine-log-cabins/elveden-log-cabin-14g-x-26-44mm-70mm-logs-available.html

If I enter 5019804522576 on DIY.com and search it shows this as £5243 then 10% of is £4718.70.
Ah, looks like a further reduction. Voted hot for the pointer, and for the elves.

I am clear on what 'obvious' means. Those who can't do, teach. And those who can't teach, blather on HUKD.
Teachers, sheesh.

​get a grip!!!

​I could be wrong but I think the cheaper price is for the shed floor version.

A quick Google of 'Shire Elveden' threw up the same but at £5,499 0r £6190 with the optional double glazing.

Being an Elve[i]den[/i] perfect for an illicit Tauriel and Kili snug (sorry Tolkien).
Correction: It appears that the roof is an option too with Simply Log Cabins!

Will this be crawling with spiders and bugs? Will it be sealed enough for the UK climate?

Sweet deal.

Something that is so obvious you have to google it !

A teacher should know how to use Google and not waste time with pointless replies to the 'children'.

http://www.metric-conversions.org/length/feet-to-meters.htm

What do you mean ''obviously'' ? Just because it's obvious to some people, doesn't mean it's obvious to most people - have you done any studies or surveys to know what is obvious, and to how many people ?

I am old enough to remember when everything was in pounds and ounces, feet and inches, shillings etc, so as I did not go to school when the metric system was in force, I still have trouble visualising exactly what sizes or quantities look like when in metric units - that is why when I saw the title, I had to stop and think just how large it would be if in metric measurements, so I could understand how much room would be needed.

Perhaps to people who have bought a shed or are thinking about it, it will be very obvious, or even to people who work with measurements regularly it will be obvious, but for many of us who have very different lifestyles or jobs it needs a bit of time to think about exactly how big it would be whether in feet yards or metres.
I posted a comment about being able to buy a house in Europe for the same money, and someone asked where - I would have thought that was fairly obvious, especially to anyone who has visited the region or has thought about buying cheaper property on ebay or other property site.......... but it does not mean everybody ought to know. There are actually several regions or countries, depending on what sort of standards or locations you want, but that wasn't my point.
I used to do a bit of teaching, and I remember one of the most important things I was told when training, was to ensure that as many people (preferably everyone) as possible understood exactly what you wanted them to do, or what it was you were trying to teach them - it was all too easy to fall into the trap of thinking just because the teacher and a few students understood instantly, that everyone would know.
Anyway, you've presumably made your mind up that because you are so clever as to grasp what was meant instantly, then everyone else should as well - it's rather true what a few people have said in different comments over the past year or so, that this site is not what it used to be.

12mm T&G floor sounds a bit flimsy

Perfect for the airbnb village I'm building in my garden. Heat.

looks perfect in wembley or southall to rent out

Really expensive - take a look at Dunster House, Warminster for a better quality log cabin at a fraction of the price.

I'm gonna open up a crack house with this.

At 100mm thick it's around 3.3 cubic meters required.

Yes, Dunster House prices do look very good...until you spec all the extras, like a better quality roof, a floor, any double glazing options. I was going to order a Vanguard from them, but by the time I specced it up the price had gone from £3300 to £5200. Admittedly, that was adding extras like internal wall & door, plus roof shingles, but even so the headline prices shift dramatically when you start to add anything on. I would also check out their feedback online (not on their site) before buying. A mate just purchased from Tuin and is delighted with the service all the way through and also the end product. I have ordered from a local company in Essex, still got a few weeks until delivery.

But maybe the plan is to only have a base 100mm deep then thats about the same.....isn't it?

Allow £6 per square foot for concrete base, put it up your self it's easy

Yes...

I have one of these and it is great! One room is our Gym and the other is a home cinema. It was quite a bit of work sorting out the foundations but well worth it for the final result.

NB Two people could put this together in a few days though we elected to have it erected when delivered (at additional cost)

Feel free to ask any questions!

Might be useful to state that it's 26x14 FEET or just put 26' x 14' in the title ?

At that size, it's possible to live in it, as there's flats around that size for goodness sake, and it's called a shed.
Look on ebay and you can buy a house in a European village for less money....... not luxurious, but quite liveable.

My wife needs this...

thanks to you all. am grafeful

My 44mm cabin cost £1200 to put together including the concrete base. And it's 15 x 10 so the price quoted is a bit high if it doesn't include the base. Definitely worth getting a pro in to do it as it's not really a one person job anyway. Make the wrong cut and you have had it!

bluesmudge99, what's tuin?
ah google found it
http://www.tuin.co.uk/Karen-Log-Cabin-5-x-3.2m.html

Just need land to put it on now which will be many times the price of this shed I mean log cabin.

For that price I'd want it put together. rip off for a posh shed.

bluesmudge99. thanks for your contribution. Would you be kind enough to post us the link of where you bought yours so we can compare. thanks

it's says £6,665

Cheapest house ever.now to purchase some land

I envy you guys that say you can put this up yourself. It's too much of a gamble for me and I think over 1k for installation is too much

Heat added :smiley: will it fit in my trolley ?

I think this one comes with a shed floor as opposed to the tongue & groove floor on the one in the deal. They should really highlight these specs to make it easier for people when trying to purchase.

Sorry....should have added the link...
