sorted byAnyone got any expert opinions on this log cabin? I.e. would you need to buy anything else to complete it?
Thanks to op. I think you saved me some money but introduced a big DYI job over the summer :-) (edited)
which came from their site.
Happy to answer any questions as I bought it from them and then project managed it through to this

It's decent but you have to factor in extras.
Base, I went for reinforced decking as it gave more space in front and to side. I guess concrete would work well.
Treatment , as stated it's untreated wood. I treated mine before building and it took ages to do. You can buy the wood pre treated, but an option extra.
Insulation, I added 40mm kingspan to the floor and roof. The floor I then added decent household floorboarding on top. The roof I added OSB on top. Kingspan sandwich.
I've painted the shed with decent protek exterior paint. Quite a few coats.
The EPMD is good stuff.
I upgraded the timber bearers to some which help move the water away.
I also added guttering to the back of the shed which collects into a butt.
Assembly took us about 1.5 days, this includes laying out the Vulcan rubber on the roof before sticking down.
In all a great shed which I use daily.
It’s all about the base though. Level and strong where walls will rest or you’ll regret it.
insulated my floor and roof with Kingspan. Use it all year round.
Tuin were great.
Have a good read through Tuin's excellent how to guides.
The free roof shingles took comfortably the longest time to fit if you do them properly. Quite a nice job if you have some patience!
I've had flooring fitting, electricity and it's been my home office since the pandemic.
Just don't install in direct sunlight if it can be avoided. They warm up to about 40 degrees by 11am on hot days.
In the winter, they warm up in minutes with an air heater.
No issues with dampness and or leaks.
Try this one.
thin planks, then.
Don't assume when buying 'real leather' you are getting a slice of the hide either. (edited)
Just a couple questions:
1) would I need planning permission for one of these?
2) Am I better using a gazebo or something else for that purpose?
3) How often would these need wood treatment?
Thanks in advance
Not sure a gazebo would work for a games room unless you only use it occasionally and only in good weather
Treatment wise do it properly first time then probably just a repaint every few years
