Features
Decorative Roof
The reverse apex roof with a small decorative clockhouse style front dormer creates a classic look, evoking the charm of traditional European cottages. The steep pitch of the roof not only adds a touch of architectural elegance but also ensures efficient rainwater drainage. You can install your cabin with or without the dormer for either a classical or modern style. You choose!
24mm Double Glazed Toughened Glass
This log cabin come with 24mm double glazing included. Our 24mm double glazed sealed unit comprises of two, 4mm single glazed panes of toughened glass on either side of an aluminium spacer bar, designed to absorb any excess moisture within the sealed unit. All our sealed units conform to BS EN 1279 standards. This standard covers the requirements for insulating glass units, including thermal and sound insulation. The sealed units are tested to show that they will not suffer from any form of condensation within the unit. Quite simply we do not believe in compromising on quality! Be wary of cheaper log cabins provided by some competitors offering less effective 14mm double glazing which provides less sound and thermal insulation. Both our doors and windows are fitted with internal beading used to secure the glazing in place. This beading style is typically found in uPVC windows and is a proven method of security. However, there are still some companies that externally bead their windows. Allowing intruders to remove the glazing from the outside of your garden house and gain access.
Secure Multi-Point Locking Systems
Your security is of the utmost importance to us. You have invested your precious time, thought, and money into creating your perfect garden building, therefore we want to ensure your valuables are as safe as they would be inside your own home. Our doors feature an industry-leading domestic standard 4-point locking system consisting of espagnolettes, which slide in opposite directions as well as a 6-pin Euro cylinder, which has been tested to BSEN 1303:2005 classification. Making it difficult for intruders to break in and steal your precious belongings. Most companies will use a cheap and simple 2-point locking system. For us it’s a no-brainer – why would you compromise your security when we offer the best on the market! Our windows use espagnolettes, which pull the window tightly into the draft seals attached to the frame. We also supply a solid handle and key that allows you to lock the window whilst you’re away. Our windows also feature unque stainless steel friction stays to keep them open in your desired position. Most competitors only supply a multi-purpose stay arm opener for both locking and keeping the window open. When choosing a cabin, it is important to think about security. In addition to our industry-leading multi-point locking systems, we also ensure that our window and door hinges are concealed. Unlike some competitors, you cannot simply use a screwdriver to remove a window or door. We ensure that screws are concealed.
19mm Tongue & Groove Floor and Roof Included
Our floors come as standard, but that doesn’t mean we compromise on quality. You may by now have noticed that not all log cabin companies are the same. We provide full-length floorboards NOT Half cut boards commonly supplied by competitors. Beware log cabins with untreated floor bearers, which offer no protection against floor level damp penetration. We could make excuses that you may wish to use the patio as a base, as in some European countries, but we are in the UK and our customers expect to get the floor included, after all its an integral part of the building. This doesn’t mean either that we use low-grade timber bearers, because as the saying goes, out of sight out of mind! All of our log cabins are supplied with pressure treated floor bearers and 19mm slow-grown spruce tongue & groove floorboards as standard. It is the perfect material for the job, especially when comparing to cheaper pine and OSB board found in the market. Our floorboards create a strong surface with an attractive appearance. All of our log cabins are supplied with 19mm tongue & groove roof boards as standard. We make our roof from single pieces of slow-grown spruce as this is the perfect material for the job, especially when comparing to alternatives found on the market. Our tongue & groove roof boards are fitted in the same way where each board is slotted into the next, creating a strong surface and attractive ceiling.
Pressure Treated Floor Bearers
All of our garden buildings have pressure-treated floor bearers as standard. This treatment prevents the timber bearers from rotting for up to 10 years and causing your garden building to sink. Pressure treatment forces the wood preservative into the timber rather than simply dip treating (essentially just covering the exterior) like many companies still do. Who wants to have to annually deconstruct and re-treat the bearers each year! Due to this costly but effective process, we can offer our customers a genuine 10-year guarantee against rot and insect infestation on the bearers. We do however recommend applying a good quality water repellent to the timber to prolong the longevity of the timber. Shockingly many of our competitors still offer untreated bearers to keep their costs down, so beware! All our Pressure Treated timber is for User Class 3
Slow Grown Spruce, Not Cheap Pine
Unlike our competitors, we only use high-quality spruce timber on our wooden products rather than cheap pine or mixed timber. Why do we use slow grown spruce rather than the much cheaper knotty pine alternatives? Spruce is considered more stable as it expands and contracts less than pine. This stability means that the spruce timbers in our garden buildings minimise splits from appearing as the timber changes along with the weather. We responsibly source all our timber, where it grows slowly in the cold northern regions. We all know the old adage of counting the rings to see how old a tree is, well our timber grows slower and takes longer to get to size meaning it has more rings in it. This means it has a tighter grain, and each ring helps prevent cracks and shakes from appearing in the densely packed timber. Our wooden garden buildings and climbing frames really are built to last therefore we use only the highest quality, slow-grown spruce. Spruce is much more resilient to warps and splits compared to its cheaper alternative pine. Being a whitewood, it doesn’t discolour anywhere near as much as pine so it is also much more aesthetically pleasing for a garden structure. Considered more stable, less knotty and resinous than pine, spruce will also produce a lot less sap. It is also less dense meaning it is not as susceptible to mould and rot.

Additional Information
If you have any questions about Dunster House products on eBay, or an order you have placed, please do not hesitate to message us.

Installation - We do not offer installation. All our garden buildings have been designed for the DIY market and supplied with full pictorial instructions.
Natural Timber Properties - Despite the care we take in selecting the very best Timber available, it can still be unpredictable as its very nature is to be porous and swell up when it gets wet. Any wooden product will do this throughout its life, but there are a few things you can do to help limit this movement:
Water Repellent Treatment - We would recommend that you use an appropriate water repellent treatment. This helps minimise the amount of moisture that the timber can absorb and thus minimises the risk of any major movement. (Please note: water repellent treatment is not the same as pressure treatment)
Ventilation - 2 Plastic Vents are included which keep your timber building ventilated and to allow any moisture to evaporate. This is especially important if you plan to cover up your floorboards with something (double-check with an expert, that the material is suitable to do so), as moisture can become trapped between layers of non-breathable materials, leading to floors becoming rotten.
Regular Seasonal Maintenance - Whether you opt to build your product yourself, do not be afraid to tighten the odd bolt here and there. Your product is a long-term investment, so it is only right to give it some love and care from time to time. Make sure that it is properly treated before the rainy months.
Fixings Included - For your ease and convenience, we include all the screws, bolts, nails, and other fixing needed to put together your garden building. There is no need to worry about what sort of bolts or size of nails you’ll need. We include all the right fixings for the job as standard.
Foundation - We recommend a flat, level, square concrete base with an allowance of at least 100mm on each side. e.g. A 4m by 3m building would have a base of 4.2m by 3.2m.
Untreated Interlocking Logs - We only use full lengths of engineered precision cut and routed tongue and groove timber in our log cabins. These logs are planed, leaving you with a smooth finish and a more aesthetically pleasing and stronger product. Other companies are happy to provide you with rough offcuts, glued and finger-jointed together, creating a weakened cabin and an off-putting appearance.
No Bespoke Sizes - All our products are sold as advertised and we do not do bespoke sizes. Our model ranges come in different sizes you can choose from. This allows us to ensure consistent quality of our products and precise cuts made by our machines.
Planning Permission - Due to the unique design of a Dunster House product, in vast majority cases our garden buildings can be installed without the need for planning permission. If you are still in doubt, we highly recommend getting in contact with your local authority before making a final purchase.
Delivery Service - All our products are delivered using our own fleet of vehicles, not sub-contractors. Our deliveries take place Monday to Friday between the hours of 8:30 am and 7:00 pm. Please find more information on how your delivery will be carried out on our website and in your order confirmation.
