            Ways to Make the Most of Your Dalby Log Cabin

            There are loads of ways to make the most of a Shire Dalby Log Cabin. The cosy feel to the interior makes it a great space to use as a sitting room with real atmosphere. In the attractive surroundings of your garden, it will have that something special when compared to a conventional sitting room. Alternatively, the Dalby could provide you with the ideal backdrop to a gathering of family and friends, especially if you are entertaining late into the evening. With all the benefits of the outdoors but without the chilly evening temperatures, your log cabin would be the perfect place to continue the fun. 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 8 x 8 would also give you a place to pursue your hobbies that may have been neglected due to the constraints of the home. Whether you need extra space for painting or drawing materials, or somewhere quiet to practice a musical instrument, a log cabin could be just what you need. With so many possibilities and larger or custom sized log cabins available in the Dalby range, you’ll love spending time in a Shire Dalby Log Cabin however you decide to use it.

            Why Others Tell Us They Love the Dalby

            The Dalby appeals in particular to lovers of simple yet elegant design. Nothing flashy or bold, it just has that classic log cabin look that is sure to add instant style to your garden. The Georgian style double doors and charming side window look great on the outside and allow for a cosy yet bright feeling on the inside. The handcrafted joinery on the window and doors is a real sign of the Dalby’s quality, a feature you will only find on Shire Log Cabins. You can also decide during construction on which side of the cabin you would like the window. The skirting boards and thick roof beams inside the cabin give a smart finish to the interior and really emphasise the classic log cabin feel. 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 an impressive variety of colours. By using Protek Royal Exterior, you can make the Dalby look exactly how you want it while adding extra protection to the timber. Whether you love bold, bright colours or a more natural wood finish, Protek has a colour to suit any taste.

            Features

            A Shire Log Cabin is built to last, and the Dalby 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 Dalby 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 Dalby 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 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.
