Palmako Lisa 5.1m x 3.8m Log Cabin Garden Room 44mm

The Palmako Lisa (101749) is a 5.1m x 3.8m (17ft x 12ft) pent roof log cabin garden room giving you 19.4m² of usable internal floor space. That is enough room for a proper home office setup with storage or a sofa alongside. Built from 44mm interlocking Nordic spruce logs with a chalet-cut finish the walls lock together tightly for solid weather resistance.

The floor and roof are both 19mm tongue and groove boarding. The floor sits on pressure treated joists for long-term durability. Rubber seals on all doors and windows reduce draughts and the double glazing across all four windows and the double doors improves heat retention. Note: roof covering is not included and must be selected separately.

Four large opening double-glazed windows flood the interior with natural light. The fully glazed double doors measure 1510mm wide x 1750mm tall and are fitted with safety glass and a laminated frame that resists warping. A key-operated cylinder lock secures the building. A stainless steel door sill protects the threshold. Electrics can be routed inside by a qualified electrician.

Wind braces add structural stability and the 5-year manufacturer's guarantee backs the build quality. Supplied untreated so treatment must be applied on assembly and annually after that.

The Palmako Lisa uses 44mm interlocking Nordic spruce logs with a chalet-cut profile. This cut creates a tighter joint between each log course reducing wind and rain ingress compared to a standard flat-cut log. The floor is 19mm tongue and groove boarding on pressure treated joists. The pent roof is also 19mm tongue and groove but requires a separate weatherproof covering such as EPDM rubber or SBS torch-on felt. All four windows and the double doors are double glazed with real glass and fitted with rubber draught seals. The laminated door frame resists warping under temperature change. Wind braces are fitted internally for structural rigidity.

Structure and walls are 44mm interlocking Nordic spruce logs with a chalet-cut finish. Floor is 19mm tongue and groove timber on pressure treated softwood joists. Roof deck is 19mm tongue and groove timber with no covering supplied. Doors and windows are double glazed with real glass and rubber seals. Door frames are laminated spruce. No OSB, SIP or MDF components are stated.

A firm level base is required before installation. A concrete slab or paving is the standard approach. No base is supplied with the cabin. An optional 5.5x4m recycled plastic interlocking base kit is available separately. The buyer is responsible for preparing the ground to a level and stable condition before the cabin is assembled.

The cabin is delivered flat packed and assembled on site. The interlocking log construction means logs stack and lock together without specialist tools. At 1400kg packaged weight you will need several people to assist. Full assembly instructions are included. Note that fixings and adhesives for the roof covering are not included and must be sourced separately. Roof covering installation may require a professional for SBS or EPDM options.

A professional installation service is available. Contact the supplier for details on timing 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. The log construction allows cables to be routed internally. All electrical installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician. No electrical kit is included with this building.

Apply an anti-fungal timber preservative on assembly and repeat annually to keep the guarantee valid. Five bottles of Timmersol treatment are recommended for this building. Clean glazing regularly and inspect rubber door and window seals each year. Check and maintain the roof covering annually and clear any debris from the roof surface and gutters.

At 19.4m² this cabin works well as a dedicated home office with room for two desks and storage. A single desk setup leaves space for a sofa or shelving. The 5.1m width means you could fit a gym bench and storage rack alongside a small work area. It also works as a hobby room, art studio or music room. The four large windows and glazed double doors give good natural light for detail work. It is not large enough for a full gym but suits a yoga or pilates space easily.

Most garden buildings in England fall under permitted development if single storey and used ancillary to the main dwelling. This cabin has a ridge height of 2340mm and eaves height of 2000mm. These figures generally sit within permitted development limits but rules vary. Always check with your local planning authority before you build. This is not legal advice.
