Ways to Make the Most of Your Tunstall Log Cabin
There are loads of ways to make the most out of a Tunstall Log Cabin. As a place to spend your leisure time all year round, a log cabin really is hard to beat. When the weather is warmer, you have the perfect, airy spot to relax with a drink or two if you throw open the window and double doors. It could also provide the perfect backdrop for a lively summer gathering. Why not set up a table inside with all the things you need for a barbecue during the day and head inside later on to keep the good times going if it gets colder in the evening? For the rest of the year, you should find the interior more than cosy enough to spend your time in. With some comfy furniture and decorated in your own personal style, it could be an ideal sitting room for all the family. With the double doors and window open, 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 12 is great for providing extra indoor space for any pastimes that you struggle to find room for in your home. Whether you are a keen painter after a stylish new art studio or an avid gamer looking to set up your ideal gaming room, this could be the solution. However you decide to use it, and with larger or custom sized cabins available in the range, we are confident that a Tunstall Log Cabin will become your new favourite place to spend your time.
Why Others Tell Us They Love the Tunstall
Admirers of the Tunstall are usually those who love the traditional log cabin look. The stunning Georgian style double doors and window really add to this classic feel, and the handcrafted joinery used on them really shows off the quality of this log cabin. This superiority of the handcrafted joinery on the window and doors puts the Tunstall and, indeed, all Shire Log Cabins, in a different class. This feature just cannot be found on log cabins from elsewhere. As you step inside, you will immediately notice the quality of the timber walls and what a fantastic look and atmosphere this provides. The generous headroom and thick roof beams inside combined with plentiful light from the window and full length double doors ensure the interior feels spacious and open. 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 Tunstall look exactly how you want it while adding extra protection to the timber. With the more traditional looking log cabins, customers often prefer a natural look, choosing ‘clear’ 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 Tunstall 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 Tunstall 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 Tunstall 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. At the time of assembly, you can choose which side you would like the window and door, giving you extra flexibility to adapt the log cabin to your garden. You can also 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 fewer 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.
