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.

Not only do they serve as a picturesque focal point, but they also provide practical, usable space for a variety of purposes, from home offices to leisure rooms.

Advantages of Log Cabin Prefab Kits for Your Garden

Convenience and Time-Saving

Opting for a prefabricated log cabin means choosing simplicity and efficiency. These kits come pre-cut and measured, significantly reducing the time and effort required for assembly. This means you can enjoy your new garden building much sooner than with traditional building methods.

Versatility and Customization

The beauty of prefab log cabins lies in their adaptability. Whether you're dreaming of a cosy garden retreat, a home gym or a hobby room, these cabins can be tailored to fit your vision. With numerous design options available, personalizing your space has never been easier.

Cost-Effectiveness

Prefab log cabins offer an economical alternative to conventional extensions or outbuildings. By cutting down on labour costs and minimizing waste, these kits provide a budget-friendly solution without compromising on the quality and finish expected from a luxury log cabin.

Choosing the Perfect Log Cabin: Factors to Consider

Size and Space Requirements

Assessing the available space in your garden is crucial. Consider not only the footprint of the cabin but also its integration with the surrounding area to ensure a harmonious balance between functionality and aesthetics.

Design and Aesthetics

From traditional to contemporary styles, the design of your log cabin should complement your personal taste as well as the character of your home and garden.

Here are some of the Log Cabin Styles from the Palmako's range:

Log Thickness

The thickness of the logs directly impacts the cabin’s insulation properties and overall sturdiness. Choose a thickness that suits your climate and intended use.

Budget and Pricing

Set a realistic budget that includes not just the cost of the log cabin kit, but also any additional expenses such as foundations, treatments, and decorations. But keep in mind that a quality log cabin is something that will last for years and it may be worth spending a little extra for the added comfort of features like double glazing or thicker wall size.

Planning Permissions and Building Regulations

Before embarking on your project, familiarize yourself with local planning permissions and building regulations to ensure compliance and avoid any potential issues. We have a range of log cabins that are under 2.5m in height and don't require planning permission in some areas.

Frequently Asked Questions About Log Cabins

What can a log cabin be used for?

Palmako log cabins can be used for a range of purposes depending on size and layout, including a garden office, garden room, guest room, or an extra living space.

They can also be used as a games room, garden gym, cinema, or pub, creating a dedicated space separate from the main house. Larger models allow for flexible, multi-purpose use.

Can log cabins be insulated for year-round use?

Yes, while not supplied pre-insulated, timber is a natural insulator. However, wall, floor and roof insulation can be added during installation to improve comfort and year-round use.

Choosing a thicker log profile (such as 44mm or 70mm) and options like double-glazed windows will improve heat retention and give you a fully insulated log cabin.

What types of log cabins are available?

Palmako offers a wide log cabin range, including traditional designs, corner cabins, and larger log cabins for more spacious layouts.

Options include apex roof and pent roof designs, along with single or multiple room layouts, making it easy to find a cabin that fits your space and intended use.

Do your cabins come with assembly instructions?

Yes, all log cabins are supplied with clear assembly instructions for DIY installation. Each kit includes precision-cut components for straightforward assembly, with professional installation also available at an additional cost.

What type of cabin is best for small spaces?

Corner log cabins are ideal for smaller gardens, as they make efficient use of available space while still providing a practical interior.

Smaller traditional cabins can also work well, depending on layout and intended use.

Do you offer bespoke log cabins?

Yes, Palmako offers bespoke design options, allowing you to customise layout, size, and features to suit your ideal log cabin requirements.

How are log cabins delivered?

Palmako log cabins are delivered as flat-pack kits, securely packaged for transport and supplied directly from the manufacturer.

Delivery is made to the kerbside, and customers will be contacted in advance to arrange a suitable delivery date. Free delivery is available across mainland UK.

How long will a log cabin last?

With proper installation and regular maintenance, Palmako’s high-quality log cabins can last for many decades. This is due to the use of slow-grown Nordic spruce and solid timber construction, which provide long-term strength and durability.

Regular treatment and keeping the structure well-maintained will help protect the timber and extend its lifespan even further.

Do log cabins require planning permission?

In many cases, Palmako log cabins are classed as garden outbuildings and may not require planning permission if they meet permitted development rules, such as height and boundary restrictions.

However, regulations can vary depending on your location, so it’s always recommended to check with your local authority before installation.
