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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Palmako flat roof garden rooms suitable for year-round use?

These garden buildings have 28 mm Nordic spruce walls and 4 mm single glazing, so they are generally better suited to seasonal use than as fully insulated rooms for year-round use. If you want to use the building year-round, consider insulation. A thicker-walled garden room may be more suitable for regular winter use.

What roof covering do I need for a flat roof garden room?

EPDM rubber roofing is a popular choice because it creates a durable, watertight surface and helps rainwater drain away. Check what roof materials and fixings are included with your chosen building before installation. This can be included as an extra if required.

What type of base does a Palmako garden room need?

Every summer house needs a sturdy base that is firm, stable and completely level. A concrete slab, paving slabs or another suitable foundation system can be used depending on the property and building. A level base helps the walls, doors, windows and roof line up correctly and supports the durability of the finished structure.

Can I assemble a Palmako flat roof garden room myself?

Yes. Palmako garden buildings are precision-manufactured as self-assembly kits and are suitable for confident DIYers. At least two people are recommended for installation. Follow the assembly instructions carefully, check the supplied components and fixings before starting, and make sure the structure can stand securely on its prepared base.

Do Palmako flat roof garden rooms arrive treated?

Treatment depends on the model and option you choose. Untreated timber will need suitable protection after the building is installed, while factory treatment is available on selected structures. Regular treatment helps protect the material, maintain the quality of the timber and preserve the modern style of your summerhouse over time.

Can the gazebo garden room be built the other way round?

Yes. The gazebo design can be installed in reverse, giving you more freedom to plan how the building sits within the garden.

What does the privacy glazing do?

The obscure glazing on selected models allows natural light into the interior while reducing direct views through the doors and windows. It is a useful feature for a garden office, relaxation space or modern summer house positioned closer to neighbouring properties, giving you a good blend of light and privacy.

How does a flat roof summer house compare with a traditional garden shed?

A garden shed is usually chosen primarily for storage, while a flat roof garden room or summerhouse is designed with a more finished interior and a stronger focus on usable living space. Palmako combines a contemporary design with Nordic spruce and carefully manufactured components to create a more refined structure for relaxing, working or entertaining.

What materials are Palmako flat roof garden rooms made from?

Palmako uses slow-grown Nordic spruce for these garden buildings, giving them the natural look and feel associated with timber structures. The walls are precision-manufactured and crafted to fit together during assembly. Combined with suitable treatment and maintenance, these high-quality materials help create a solid, attractive building for your garden.

Can I add electricity, lighting or other features to my garden room?

You can plan additions such as lighting, sockets or power around how you intend to use the garden room, but electrical work should be carried out safely and in line with UK requirements. Think about these features before installation so cables, light fittings and other services can be incorporated into the project more neatly.

Do I need planning permission for a flat roof garden room?

Many garden rooms can fall under permitted development, but this generally depends on the height, size, position and intended use of the building. The Lara models are around 2.21 m high, but you should still check the rules that apply to your property. For example, requirements may differ if the building sits close to a boundary or is intended for a particular use. Contact your local planning authority if you are unsure.

How are Palmako garden rooms delivered?

Palmako offers free mainland UK delivery, although some remote postcodes may carry a surcharge. Your delivery date will depend on the model, treatment option, stock and current availability. Check the individual product page for the latest price and delivery information before ordering, and make sure the site is ready before the building arrives.

What warranty do Palmako garden rooms come with?

Palmako wooden garden buildings come with a five-year structural guarantee. Correct assembly, timber treatment and regular maintenance help protect the quality and durability of the building. Natural timber movement, accidental damage and certain weather-related issues are not covered, so looking after the structure remains important after installation.
