Pent Log Cabins

A pent log cabin can bring a whole new dimension to your garden. However, it’s a purchase that requires strategic planning if you want to unlock its full potential. Our guide to buying log cabins can ease you through the process to ensure that you make the right selection for your budget, style preferences, functional requirements and spatial availability. Multiple styles are available in various sizes.

Pent log cabins are characterised by their sloping roofs, which typically are higher at the front and lower at the back. This gives them a striking appearance that takes the look of your garden to a whole new level.

Crucially, opting for pent log cabins provides plenty of design flexibility. Multiple styles and sizes are available, while the availability of uPVC windows adds to the appeal.

Aside from their aesthetic beauty, pent log cabins are a practical solution for a variety of uses. The most popular include:

• Home offices, providing a designated workspace that’s separated from the distractions of the main property.
• Studios. Whether used for art, dance or beauty routines, pent log cabins deliver a truly relaxed atmosphere.
• Leisure spaces. From games rooms to calming spaces to read, pent log cabins make those dreams come true.
• Storage, whether temporary storage for seasonal items or long-term facilities.
• Workshops, offering a space for you to enjoy crafting or DIY hobbies without disturbing loved ones.

Pent log cabins have interlocking timber log walls, and the thicker the logs the greater the insulation. The natural materials deliver a traditional aesthetic.

Installation is an optional add-on. If you add it, you complete the base first. When it’s ready, you send us photos of your base and access, and once they’re approved we schedule delivery and installation.

Log thickness influences durability and insulation, so you may require thinner or thicker log styles depending on the intended use. At Waltons, you can find pent log cabins available in 19mm, 28mm and 44mm thicknesses.

Planning rules depend on your property and where you live, and they differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so please check with your local planning office before you order.

Log cabins can be designed to feature either a pent roof or apex roof. While both are sloped designs, a pent roof has a single slope that typically has its lowest point at the rear of the cabin. Conversely, an apex roof is the traditional dual slope design that meets in the middle.

Yes, a log cabin should be supported by a solid base regardless of the roof type. Concrete is the best option, although paving slabs and wooden bearers can be used too. The base supports longevity by protecting your log cabin against ground moisture and structural damage.
