Description

The 14 x 17 Shire Bradenham Log Cabin in 44mm logs from Shire is a stunning garden building that really stands out, particularly when compared with traditional garages. It could even serve as an inexpensive solution to a more substantial extension on your home. Whether you want a safe and secure shelter for your car, bike or other vehicle, a stylish way to give you buckets of extra storage, or even a well-insulated, spacious home workshop that you can take advantage of all year round, the Bradenham is as practical as it is pleasing on the eye.

At elbec, we are confident that our log cabins are the perfect way to make the most of your unused garden space and provide an excellent place to work or spend your leisure time in comfort all year round.

Ways to Make the Most of Your Bradenham Log Cabin

The Bradenham provides you with an impressive interior space, ideal for storage, working or for your hobbies. Designed to be an attractive alternative to a traditional garage, the Bradenham is of course perfect for storing a car, bikes, a boat or a trailer, though we always recommend that you check the dimensions of anything you want to store inside against those of the Bradenham before purchasing! If it’s more general storage that you’re after, the interior will be more than spacious enough for just about anything you might need to get inside. If you’ve got camping gear, gardening tools, large items of furniture, a ride on lawnmower, loads of kids toys or simply anything that needs sheltered storage, the Bradenham could provide the room you need. Especially if your existing storage areas are full to bursting, you can relieve the pressure by adding loads of extra storage in your new log cabin. Alternatively, many customers purchase the Bradenham with the intention of using it as a hobbyist workshop, or even a more substantial workshop from which to operate their business. These customers usually choose to include the optional floor if they intend to use it as a workshop. The Bradenham has significant advantages over alternative garden buildings sold as workshops. With the insulation offered by the thick wall logs, you can make use of your workshop all year round, a very important consideration if your livelihood depends on not having to take a break from work due to the weather. Whatever you need the Bradenham for, you are certain to appreciate the valuable, new space it gives you.

Why Others Tell Us They Love the Bradenham

Customers who purchased the Bradenham are generally those looking for a practical space, but for whom appearances are still an important factor. Combining a well-insulated, spacious interior with the stunning look of thick, interlocking, timber logs, the Bradenham is always a winner with customers looking for practicality as well as attractiveness in a garden building. With two opening windows, allowing you to control the temperature inside with ease, in addition to a half-glazed door, plenty of light can flood in to your garage log cabin. This makes finding items inside straightforward and ensures an ideal working environment if being used as a workshop. The crossed, Georgian-style glazing, using handcrafted joinery, adds an additional touch of quality too. The doors are secure and lockable, a vital consideration for customers looking for a secure garden building. The generous, roof height and classic apex roof style makes the interior feel spacious, and with thick roof beams and timber walls, the finish is truly stunning. Our customers often like to add their own personal touch by painting their log cabins, which look fantastic in any style or colour. Shire recommends that you use Protek paint, available from elbec in a wide variety of colours. By using Protek Royal Exterior, you can make the Bradenham look exactly how you want it while adding extra protection to the timber. Whether you prefer bold, bright colours or more subtle, natural wood tones, Protek really do have a paint to suit any taste.

Features

A Shire Log Cabin is built to last, and the Bradenham is certainly no exception. Shire uses 4-way corner joints and interlocking logs of the highest quality as standard. This ensures that you’ll be impressed by the strength, stability and sturdy feel of the Bradenham Log Cabin. With Shire’s draught seal system fitted on all external windows and doors, you are sure to be snug when inside. This particular Bradenham Log Cabin is made from logs that are 44mm in thickness. However, each size of the Bradenham is also available in versions with alternative wall log thicknesses, either 28mm, 34mm, 44mm or 70mm. Upgrading to a Bradenham with thicker wall logs is a popular choice, especially if you intend to use it as a workshop for business purposes or for general, year-round use. The Bradenham is supplied without a floor, for garage use. However, if you intend to use it as a workshop or as a space for your hobbies, customers will generally purchase the optional, 14mm tongue and groove floor, providing the ideal surface for workbenches, shelving or machinery etc.

Opting for optional toughened glass or double glazed windows is another great way to improve the cabin’s year-round usability. Quality floor and roof insulation using Celotex is also available as an optional extra so you can make the most of your log cabin whatever the weather. The double doors and the side entry single door can all be locked securely. At the time of assembly, you can choose which side of the Bradenham you would like the windows and doors, giving you extra flexibility to adapt it to your available space. 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 Siberia and Scandinavia under strict FSC guidance. 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.
