Palmako Ines 3.9m x 3m Double Glazed Log Cabin Garden Office with Sliding Doors 44mm

The Palmako Ines 3.9m x 3m log cabin garden office (111175BUN) measures 3.9m x 3m externally (14ft x 13ft) and delivers 11.1m² of usable internal floor space. That is a solid footprint for a home office or hobby room. The reverse apex roof and generous overhang give it a clean modern look that stands out from standard garden buildings.

The walls are built from 44mm interlocking Nordic spruce logs with added wind braces and a chalet-cut design for extra rigidity. Both the floor and roof use 19mm tongue and groove boards for a strong weathertight structure. The floor sits on treated foundation joists that lift it clear of ground moisture. Roof covering is not included as standard but EPDM rubber or SBS torch-on felt are available as upgrades.

The fully glazed sliding door set features an aluminium frame and stainless-steel sill with 4-16-4mm toughened double glazing throughout. A cylinder lock secures the building. The large glazed door floods the interior with natural light and the double glazing makes it usable all year round. Cable routing for electrics is possible through the log construction.

FSC-certified timber and a 5-year manufacturer's parts warranty back this up as a serious long-term investment. It is weathertight, well-built and purpose-suited to working from home.

The Palmako Ines uses 44mm interlocking Nordic spruce logs as both structure and cladding. The chalet-cut profile and added wind braces improve rigidity in exposed conditions. The floor is 19mm tongue and groove boards sitting on treated foundation joists that lift the floor clear of ground moisture. The roof uses the same 19mm T&G build under a reverse apex profile with a generous overhang to shed water clear of the walls. No roof covering is included so an EPDM rubber membrane or SBS torch-on felt must be selected separately. The sliding door uses 4-16-4mm toughened double glazing in an aluminium frame with a stainless-steel sill for durability and weather resistance.

Walls are 44mm FSC-certified Nordic spruce interlocking logs. Floor and roof are 19mm tongue and groove spruce boards on treated softwood foundation joists. The sliding door frame is aluminium with a stainless-steel sill. Glazing is 4-16-4mm toughened double glazed glass. No internal lining or roof covering is included as standard.

A solid level base is required before assembly. A concrete slab or paving slabs are the standard choice. No base is included with the building. An optional 4x4.5m interlocking recycled plastic base kit is available separately. The buyer is responsible for preparing the ground before delivery.

This building is delivered flat packed. Assembly instructions and a fixings kit are included. The interlocking log construction is designed for self-build but given the packaged weight of 1300kg you will need at least two people. No assembly time estimate is stated by the manufacturer. A professional installation service is available if preferred.

A professional installation service is available through the retailer. Contact the supplier on 0333 003 0518 for details on scheduling and what is covered. Base preparation and electrical work are not part of any installation service and remain the buyer's responsibility.

No wiring or electrical components are supplied. Cables can be routed through the log construction. All electrical installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician to current UK regulations.

Apply an anti-fungal timber treatment immediately after assembly and every year after that. This is required to protect the wood and to keep the 5-year warranty valid. Clean the glazing regularly. Check the roof covering after winter weather and clear any debris from the overhang and around the base.

At 11.1m² this is a practical single-room workspace. It comfortably fits a full-size desk with room for shelving or a filing cabinet alongside it. Two people could work here with a compact layout. The space also works well as a hobby room or art studio. It is tight for gym equipment beyond a mat and some free weights. A small sofa or reading chair fits if you keep the desk compact. The sliding door and full glazing make it feel larger than the footprint suggests.

This building has 2110mm eaves and a 2500mm ridge height. In England most garden offices within these dimensions fall under permitted development and do not need planning permission provided standard rules on plot coverage and proximity to boundaries are met. Rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Always check with your local planning authority before you build. This is not legal advice.
