The Blakedown 6m x 4m Log Cabin from Forest is the largest apex roof model in the Forest Garden log cabin range. With a footprint measuring 6m by 4m, it has an impressive internal useable space of 21 square meters (228 square feet) making it suitable for a range of different uses, such as a home office, gym, workshop or hobby room. The traditional apex roof design provides up to 2.4m of internal headroom adding to the feeling of space that you get when inside this building. The space is flooded with natural light coming through the double glazed double doors and the 3 additional 3/4 length windows on the front that have a tilt and turn opening mechanism that allow them to be opened conventionally or tilted back with the top of the window open. There are two more additional tilt and turn windows with one in each side wall. The doors can be positioned on the left or right side of the front aspect as the cabin is built.

The walls are built using 45mm thick interlocking logs while the floor and roof are constructed from 19mm tongue and groove boards. All windows are double glazed with toughened glass.

The Blakedown log cabin is supplied with 24kg weight Polyester felt. The felt has a polyester fibre base layer that makes it much stronger and more tear resistant than non-polyester grades. With more than twice the tear resistance of conventional mineral felt it has a life expectancy of up to 15 years when fitted correctly.

All deliveries are made by vehicles with a crane off-load facility and with an optional professional assembly service. The log cabin must be built upon a solid and level surface such as a poured concrete base.

• Timmersol Exterior Timber Stabiliser (3 coats or 1 colour coat of a water-based finish of your choice and 2 coats of Timmersol ETS)
