At elbec, we are confident that our log cabins are the perfect way to make the most of your unused garden space and provide a wonderful spot to relax in comfort all year round.

Ways to Make the Most of your Glenmore Log Cabin

There are loads of ways to enjoy a Shire Glenmore Log Cabin. For those warm summer days, the Glenmore provides the perfect backdrop for a gathering of friends and family. As the evening wears on and the temperature gets a little cooler, your log cabin is the ideal place to continue the fun, enjoying the feeling of being outdoors without having to worry about getting chilly. Because of the more traditional log cabin look of the Glenmore, it works all year round as a cosy garden hideaway to enjoy a lazy afternoon and watch the seasons turn in comfort. By throwing open the double doors and the opening window, you will have a breezy, cool place to spend your time. Alternatively, keep them closed to give you a nice, snug indoor space. This means you can really make the most of your log cabin whatever the outside conditions are. The 10 x 10 provides a great space for some comfy furniture to entertain guests or set up as a stylish games room. With so many possibilities and larger or custom sized log cabins available in the range, you’ll love spending time in a Glenmore Log Cabin however you decide to use it.

Why Others Tell Us They Love the Glenmore

As with all Shire Log Cabins, the quality is apparent straight away. Admirers of the Glenmore are those who love the traditional look. The overhanging roof is what draws the eye immediately to the Glenmore, an impressive and attractive feature that completes the classic feel of this log cabin (though we do advise that you remember to factor in the roof overhang when planning the best space for your log cabin!) The timber walls and the Georgian style windows fitted as standard ensure that this feel is maintained on the inside as well as the outside. The result is a cosy interior that still feels open and spacious thanks to generous headroom and plenty of natural light from the double doors and window. The handcrafted joinery on all windows and doors is the finishing touch to the delightful overall package of the Glenmore. Our customers often like to add their own personal touch by painting their log cabins which look fantastic in any colour. Shire recommends you use Protek paint, available from elbec in a wide variety of colours. By using Protek Royal Exterior, you can make the Glenmore look exactly how you want it while adding extra protection to the timber. With the more traditional looking log cabins, customers often prefer the ‘natural’ colour range, choosing ‘clear’ wood treatment or other wood shades for their cabins. But Protek really does have a colour to suit any taste.

Features

A Shire Log Cabin is built to last, and the Glenmore is no exception. With overlapping corner logs and 4-way corner joints used by Shire as standard, you’ll be impressed by the strength, stability and sturdy feel of the Glenmore Log Cabin. The Shire draught seal system fitted on all external windows and doors ensure that you will be snug in your log cabin. The Glenmore has a choice of log wall thickness between 28mm and 70mm. A popular choice among our customers is to opt for a thicker wall log, which also means you will automatically receive an upgraded roof, floor and joists. This gives you an even sturdier construction and further usability throughout the year. You also have the option to upgrade to double glazed windows for an all year round cosier feel. Optional Celotex floor and roof insulation is available so you can make full use of your log cabin whatever the weather. You can purchase and construct your log cabin in the confidence that all Shire Log Cabins can be dismantled and rebuilt should you ever decide to move. We’re pleased to offer the option of booking our dedicated professionals who will assemble your log cabin quickly and correctly. However, you can choose to use the comprehensive instructions included with the log cabin and construct it yourself.

About the Timber

You will be impressed by Shire's use of natural products and their environmental credentials. A high quality timber log cabin starts with high quality timber, so it is important to know exactly what timber is being used for your log cabin. The most commonly used timber for garden buildings is pine (pinus) as this is widely available for a very cheap price, however all of Shire's garden buildings are constructed using high quality spruce (picea) and is sourced from sustainably sourced timber. Spruce is more durable than pine and provides a higher quality finish. This timber is slow grown unlike fast grown British and Eastern Europe's timber, being slow grown timber means a tighter grain, less sap and with far less knots. The timber used on Shire's log cabins is therefore a more durable timber that will last much longer than other timbers used on log cabins. Spruce is therefore the timber of choice for companies such as Shire who always look to produce the best garden building.

Base

It is important that the base for your log cabin is firm and level. You can request 'Guidelines for Preparing a Concrete Base'  through our 'Contact Us' Section.
