Compact Garden Room

Efficient 280×280cm Square

This square cabin delivers 7.8m² of purpose-built space without sprawl. The 280×280cm footprint keeps garden organization tight and intentional—whether storing equipment, housing a focused workshop, or creating a seasonal office. Built from slow-grown Nordic spruce with 28mm walls, the structure provides durability and natural insulation while maintaining a neat, unobtrusive presence in any garden setting.

Natural Light with Storage Flexibility

One fixed window (886×1281mm) and wide double door (1416mm) deliver natural light without fragmenting wall space. Two uninterrupted walls remain available for floor-to-ceiling shelving, pegboards, or workbenches. The Nordic spruce holds fixings securely for heavy-duty storage mounting.

Simple, Durable Construction

The pent roof keeps the profile clean and modern while shedding water efficiently. At 248cm ridge height, the interior maintains comfortable headroom despite the efficient footprint. Nordic spruce construction ensures sustainable use across weather conditions, with natural wood texture that weathers gracefully over time.

Why choose Log Cabin Compact?

Compact Footprint

The 2.8 x 2.8m design maximizes utility in smaller gardens without dominating the landscape.

Wide Access

Double doors (1416mm width) make it easy to move large equipment, furniture, or bicycles in and out.

Durable Foundation

Includes 44x70mm impregnated base beams to protect the structure from rising damp and extend its lifespan.

Frequently Asked Questions

The kit includes the complete timber structure (walls, roof boards), double doors, one window, and impregnated base beams. Floor boards and roof covering (EPDM) are available as add-ons.

The standard base price excludes floor boards, but 18mm or 28mm floor packs can be added as an option.

For this flat/low-pitch roof design, an EPDM rubber membrane or self-adhesive roofing felt is recommended for optimal waterproofing.

With a ridge height under 2.5m (248cm), this cabin often falls within permitted development rights in many areas, but we always recommend checking with the local authority.
