Palmako Lea 4.9m x 4m Double Glazed Log Cabin Garden Office with Sliding Doors 44mm

The Palmako Lea is a 44mm double glazed log cabin garden office measuring 4.9m x 4m (16ft x 13ft). Listed as 111191BUN, it delivers 14.2m² of usable internal floor space enough for a proper home office setup with room to spare. External dimensions include a roof overhang reaching 4.94m x 4.02m.

Walls are built from 44mm Nordic spruce interlocking logs with wind braces and a chalet-cut design. The floor and pent roof both use 19mm tongue and groove boards. Floor joists are treated to resist ground moisture. No roof covering is included as standard EPDM rubber membrane, SBS torch-on felt or sand felt are available as upgrades. Timber is FSC® certified.

The fully glazed sliding door set uses 4-16-4mm toughened double glazing in an aluminium frame with a stainless-steel sill and cylinder lock. The generous roof overhang protects the entrance. The 44mm log construction makes this suitable for year-round use. No pre-routed cable channels are stated but the wall construction allows for electrician-fitted cabling.

A 5-year manufacturer's parts warranty is included alongside a fixings kit and assembly instructions. It arrives untreated so apply anti-fungal treatment on assembly and annually to protect the timber and maintain the warranty.

The walls use 44mm Nordic spruce interlocking logs with a chalet-cut profile and wind braces for structural rigidity. The 19mm tongue and groove floor boards sit on treated foundation joists that lift the floor off the ground to allow airflow and resist moisture. The pent roof uses the same 19mm T&G boarding with a generous overhang but requires a separate roof covering EPDM rubber membrane is the most effective choice for a mono-pitch roof as it has no overlapping joints. The sliding door uses 4-16-4mm toughened double glazing in an aluminium frame with a stainless-steel sill for durability. The 44mm log mass provides reasonable thermal performance for year-round use.

Walls are 44mm FSC® certified Nordic spruce interlocking logs. Floor and roof are 19mm tongue and groove timber boards. Floor joists are pressure treated. The sliding door frame is aluminium with a stainless-steel sill and 4-16-4mm toughened double glazed glass. No roof covering is included EPDM, SBS felt or sand felt are available separately.

No base is included as standard. The building must sit on a solid level surface such as a concrete slab or paving slabs. An optional 5x4.5m recycled plastic base kit is available as an add-on. The buyer is responsible for preparing the ground before delivery and installation.

The cabin is delivered flat packed with a fixings kit and assembly instructions. No official assembly time is stated. Given the 1450kg packaged weight and the size of the build, at least two people are needed. All fixings are included. No tools are specified but standard woodworking tools will be required. A roof covering must be purchased and fitted separately.

A professional installation service is available contact the supplier for details on scheduling and scope. Base preparation and electrical work are not covered by any installation service. Roof covering installation may require a professional depending on which covering is chosen.

No electrics or cable routing are included. The 44mm log wall construction allows a qualified electrician to route cables for sockets, lighting or heating. Electrical installation is not supplied with this building and must be arranged separately.

Apply anti-fungal timber treatment immediately on assembly and every year after that. This is a warranty condition. Clean glazing panels regularly. The roof covering must be inspected annually and any debris cleared from the pent roof and overhang to prevent water pooling or damage.

With 14.2m² of internal floor space this building works well as a dedicated home office. You can fit two desks with room for storage units or shelving along one wall. It is large enough for a single sofa and a work desk if you want a dual-purpose space. As a hobby room or art studio the floor area gives you real working room. For a home gym it fits a treadmill and a weights bench comfortably. The sliding door opening makes moving furniture in straightforward.

Most garden offices in England fall under permitted development and do not need planning permission if they are single storey, within the garden boundary and not forward of the principal elevation. This model has a 2440mm ridge and 2110mm eaves height. Rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Always check with your local planning authority before you build.
