Shire Elveden Log Cabin - For Far More Than Just Garden Storage

The Shire Elveden Log Cabin has a whole plethora of uses, far beyond the remit of garden storage filled by your average shed. And as it’s made-to-order, it can fill any need you might have.

Built from slow grown Siberian and Scandinavian spruce timber, the materials used are only the best quality, giving tighter grain, less sap and fewer knots. Complete with tongue and groove construction and with the option of 44 or 70mm logs, you can have real confidence that your log cabin is sturdy, secure, robust and long-lasting.

As well as the option for extra thick log size, you can choose to have heavy duty roof tiles, toughened glass or double glazed windows, additional side windows and full assembly should you desire.

The Elveden comes with an inset porch and internal room divide, but this top quality log cabin can be made to measure for bespoke purposes. You have the option to include extra doors and room partitions, change the position and style of windows and doors, remove the porch or add an annexe and many other options. The Elveden comes in a spacious 14x26ft build, but other sizes are also available.

And with such generous space, the possibilities for use are endless.

Home use – Use the Elveden as a hideaway for your kids, dividing it into a lounge area and a games room. Have the workshop you’ve always dreamed of, complete with a studio to fine-tune and showcase your work. Transform your study and work from home in style and comfort.

Group use – Renovate your club’s cricket or bowls facilities by using the Elveden as a pavilion, adding an extra partition to give you a social area as well as home and away dressing rooms. Upgrade the facilities at your local youth club or community centre, providing an extra space to meet the needs of people in your area.

Wider use – Upgrade your school’s facilities by providing a unique new classroom, study space or social area. Give your business’s lunch facilities a makeover or turn the Elveden into a distinctive meeting room to impress potential clients.            

The first class quality of the Shire Elveden Log Cabin means that you can rest assured in the excellence of your purchase. And its bespoke nature means that it can truly fill any need you might have: the perfect log cabin, whatever its use.

And at a reduced price of £5699, a huge £1260 below RRP, there isn’t a better time to buy. Find out more about the Elveden here and order yours today!

The Grange Contemporary Range

Give your garden a modern look

Gardens, like people, sometimes get stuck in a rut and benefit from a ‘makeover’. It’s easy to bring a garden up to date and, using simple ready-made products, you can transform a tired looking patch quickly and inexpensively.

For example, a pack of Grange Contemporary fencing will give an eye-catching new look to your garden’s boundaries. Both sides of the fencing are equally attractive and it comes with a 15 year guarantee against rot. Or why not use the Contemporary fencing as a stylish screen in your garden? This would make a perfect excuse for visitors to explore and see what’s hidden behind the screen.

 

Perhaps they’d find a garden arbour from the Contemporary range which combines modern, straight slats with a classically curved roof. Pressure treated for longer life, the arbour is an ideal structure for climbing plants, as well as for reclining gardeners.

Another easy way to give your garden a new twist would be to introduce some Contemporary planters. Whether you opt for square, rectangular or tall planters, or a combination of all three, the planters come ready assembled and include a fitted liner. In no time at all you can fill a planter with compost and then enjoy planting old favourites or experimenting with new varieties of flowers or foliage. Strategically placed, a planter from the Contemporary range will liven up your garden and starting at £75 it’s an inexpensive way of creating a new look, quickly and easily.

A Traditional or Contemporary Summerhouse? It’s Your Choice

A summerhouse is often the one feature which turns an ordinary garden into something special.  Summerhouses are practical buildings yet have an edge of glamour about them. Whether you want somewhere to entertain friends and family, or a quiet retreat to sit with a drink, there’s a summerhouse that’s just right for you and your garden.

There are two styles of wooden summerhouse available from elbec: traditional summerhouses and contemporary summerhouses.

A traditional summerhouse such as the Shire Chatsworth, is a charming building which lets in lots of light through well designed windows. Made from slow grown continental timber, the Chatsworth will give years of summer pleasure.

Another traditional summerhouse is the Goodwood Gold Fleur de Lys which has a Georgian-style bay window and an optional verandah which adds an extra dimension to entertaining. The Fleur de Lys has a number of security features and it’s easy to assemble although, if preferred, there is an installation option available.

If you want to make a design statement in your garden, opt for a contemporary summerhouse.  The Shire Highclere is a stylish, spacious building which comes in two sizes. The Highclere would also double as a hobby room for anyone who needs lots of light because it has long windows made from styrene which is environmentally friendly and safer than traditional glass.

Mercia’s Helios summerhouse is another elegant, contemporary design which would look great in any style of garden.  Perfect for summer entertaining, the Helios has a curved roof which means that rain runs off so the building works well as a storage area during the winter months.

There is such a lot of choice when it comes to choosing a summerhouse, but rest assured, there will be one that fits all your requirements. It’s worth bearing in mind that some log cabins would also make great summerhouses as well as being all-year-round garden buildings.
