Corner Log Cabins

Palmako's corner log cabins go beyond the typical timber summer house, with substantial Nordic spruce construction, generous glazing and a choice of designs ranging from traditional 44mm log cabins to contemporary models with aluminium doors and windows.

The corner-focused layouts make good use of the available garden space while still providing a generous interior. Large windows and glazed doors bring in plenty of natural light, making these cabins well suited to everything from a quiet garden retreat or home office to a larger space for relaxing and entertaining.

Made from slow-grown Nordic spruce timber, Palmako cabins are manufactured using precision-cut interlocking components for a secure, stable structure and a straightforward assembly process. With decades of experience in timber construction, Palmako creates well-designed garden buildings built for quality, durability and long-term enjoyment.

Just a brief note to say how delighted I am with the Melanie (9.6 sqm) Log Cabin I bought from you. Your service and price were superb and Greg and Craig came at 9am on Tuesday and worked right through until 8pm to build it.
They did an excellent job and did not stop all day. Greg advised that I should paint the door and windows a different colour as otherwise the green painted log cabin would be ‘lost’ in the garden and I took their advice. I used two different colours of Butinox No. 3 and the result is absolutely incredible. Many thanks once again. One hugely satisfied customer.

The delivery lorry arrived about eleven o’clock and the driver duly unloaded two very large packages. At eleven thirty my neighbour and I began to investigate these well protected packages.
Just after three o’clock that afternoon, two self satisfied men were enjoying a well deserved beverage whilst admiring the 4.5 by 3.5 meter cabin which was now completed up to roof purling level.
The construction of the cabin was so logical and easy, just like assembling ‘Lego blocks’ only heavier.

We absolutely love our Summer House – we can seat 16 people inside it, it stays warm long after the sun has gone down and it is particularly special as we run a B&B, so we can escape into it, invite all our friends to parties in it and now, we have installed electricity so can have lighting, heat and music as and when needed. It also provides a really big area to store all our garden furniture during the winter months.
We would absolutely recommend you to anyone considering buying one. Many thanks.

Corner log cabin FAQs

What can I use a corner log cabin for?

A corner log cabin can create a versatile extra room in your garden for a range of uses. Depending on the size and layout, it can be used as a garden office, hobby room, relaxation space, creative studio or an area for entertaining friends and family.

Why choose a corner log cabin instead of a standard garden cabin?

A corner log cabin is designed to fit neatly into the shape of your garden, making it a practical choice where space or layout is a consideration. Compared with a traditional straight-sided cabin, the corner configuration can help you use areas that may otherwise be difficult to utilise while still providing a comfortable outdoor room.

Which Palmako corner log cabin is right for my garden?

Compact models such as the Melanie XS/S range are suitable for smaller gardens, while the XXL larger designs provide more room for working, relaxing or entertaining. The Serena range offers a more contemporary look with a modern cubic design and larger glazing options.

What is included with a Palmako corner log cabin?

Palmako corner log cabins are supplied as complete prefabricated kits, so most of the main components needed to build the cabin are already included. This typically covers the timber wall structure, floorboards, roof boards, doors and windows, treated foundation joists, locks, handles, fixings and assembly instructions.

What varies between models is the specification. Some cabins include single or double glazing, aluminium sliding doors, different floor systems or additional structural features. Roof coverings such as felt, shingles or EPDM are often optional extras rather than part of the standard kit, so always check the individual product page before ordering.

Do I need a base or foundation for a corner log cabin?

Yes, a suitable base is essential before installing a corner log cabin. The foundation should provide a stable, level surface that supports the building correctly and helps prevent issues caused by movement or moisture. The type of base required will depend on the cabin size, location and ground conditions.

Can I assemble a Palmako corner log cabin myself?

Palmako cabins are supplied as ready-to-assemble kits with pre-cut components, making them suitable for customers with suitable DIY experience. Assembly requires preparation, appropriate tools and careful attention to the instructions. Larger cabins may require additional help due to the size and weight of the components.

Are assembly instructions provided with Palmako corner log cabins?

Yes, Palmako buildings include assembly instructions to guide customers through the installation process. It is recommended to review the instructions before starting and ensure the base is fully prepared before construction begins.

What treatment options are available for Palmako corner log cabins?

Palmako corner log cabins are typically available in untreated Nordic spruce, giving you the flexibility to choose the colour and finish that suits your garden. Depending on the model, factory treatment or painted finishes may also be available as optional extras.

If you choose untreated timber, applying a suitable exterior wood treatment after installation will help protect it against moisture and weathering and keep the cabin looking its best over time. Any ongoing maintenance will depend on the treatment or finish you choose.

Can Palmako corner log cabins be insulated?

Some Palmako cabins can be adapted with insulation depending on the model and intended use. If you plan to use your cabin as a garden office or year-round space, consider factors such as insulation, heating, glazing and ventilation during the planning stage.

Are Palmako corner log cabins suitable for UK weather?

Yes. Palmako corner log cabins are made from slow-grown Nordic spruce, a dense and durable timber well suited to outdoor use and the UK’s changing weather conditions.

For long-term protection, the cabin should be installed on a suitable base and the timber treated and maintained appropriately. Keeping the roof covering and exterior woodwork in good condition will also help protect the structure from moisture and weathering over time.

Do I need planning permission for a corner log cabin?

Planning permission requirements depend on factors such as the size and height of the building, where it is positioned, how it will be used and local planning rules. Many garden buildings may fall within permitted development guidelines, but you should always check the latest requirements with your local planning authority before installation. (PERFECT, MOOI!)

How are Palmako corner log cabins delivered?

Palmako corner log cabins are delivered flat-packed on pallets using a Hiab truck with crane offloading. This allows the driver to unload the packaged cabin safely at the kerbside or driveway and, where access permits, position it closer to the installation area.

Palmako will contact you in advance to arrange a suitable delivery day. Free delivery is available across mainland UK.

What guarantee comes with a Palmako corner log cabin?

Palmako provides guarantees for its products, with coverage depending on the specific building and terms of purchase. Customers should check the individual product information for the latest guarantee details, exclusions and requirements relating to installation and maintenance.
