Forest Garden extends offering
Forest Garden has built on the success of its existing garden buildings range with the introduction of a new collection of Log Cabins. The collection consists of over 20 cabin designs available in a range of shapes and sizes. The cabins come in both traditional and contemporary styles and are suitable for a wide range of needs, from a home office to workshop or even a guest room. All Forest log cabins are built from 28mm-44mm wall logs machined from kiln-dried timber, which comes from slow-grown Nordic Spruce forested from sustainable sources. All models come with pressure-treated floor bearers, tongue and groove floors and roofs, and incorporate tilt-and- turn windows, offering a mix of single and double-glazing depending on the log thickness. All doors feature Euro locking mechanisms. Forest also holds stock of fast-moving lines on-site at its centrally located Worcestershire site, meaning lead times from order placement to delivery can take as little as 14 days. All log cabins are also supported by a nationwide assembly service. For more information call 0844 2489800, email
