Trading Information 2024

2023 Once again 2023 has been an excellent year for our partnership with Palmako. As each year passes it seems that more and more people in the UK are beginning to see the real benefit that a good quality log cabin can bring.  The potential for extending the living space by adding a room in the garden gets more and more appealing as housing prices and the costs associated with moving upward in a chain can be prohibitively expensive and often really quite difficult to justify.  A good quality log cabin cab be used as a home gym, a home office, a “Lads” or a “Ladies” escape in the garden.  We supply very many cabins that are used as a leisure facility and will have large TV’s mounted on the wall so that either “him or her” can escape to a little privacy and watch the cricket or football or maybe X Factor or Bake Off in the privacy of a den in the garden!  Very often these little dens are used as temporary accommodation so that if you have guests over and the house is full- they can sleep in the cabin!

This type of cabin really does rely on being well insulated with great quality windows and doors, usually double glazed, and to be sufficiently large to be comfortable.  Most of our Palmako Log Cabins are offered with a roof insulation option and we would usually advise that floor insulation should be fitted.  This along with double glazing and a little heating will ensure that you are building a lovely environment to simply spend a little time and watch the world go by in comfort.

The quality and consistency of Palmako log cabins is quite simply second to non and they are ideally suited to this type of use and many other uses.  Almost every cabin seems to have a unique purpose but they can be split into a few overall categories.  These would include:

  • Office in the Garden
  • Home Gym
  • Temp Guest Accommodation
  • Nursery / Play Room
  • General Leisure Use
  • Storage
  • Other

The quality of our manufacturers generally mean that it is rare that we need to get any parts from any of our producers however on the odd occasions when we do, the system that Palmako use ensures that parts are delivered quickly and without drama.  With the very best will – just occasionally a part may get damaged in transit or VERY occasionally be missed when packing.  After all non of us are above making mistakes!  In the rare instances that this does happen Palmako are by far the best at sending out any required parts quickly and efficiently.
