Description
The 4.5m x 3.5m Dove Log Cabin
The 4.5m x 3.5m Dove Log Cabin offers a traditional and stylish building that would look great in any garden. Boasting a large interior, an impressive four large windows and wide opening French doors, this building floods with natural light to create a welcoming and airy interior. Whether you’re looking to create a home office, additional living space or a hobby room, this log cabin could be the perfect fit. Featuring a high apex roof-line, you’ll find there is plenty of headroom inside, ideal if you wish to install ceiling lights, tall storage or wall mounted pictures and paintings.
With double glazed, opening windows, as standard, not only can you let the refreshing summer breeze into your cabin, it also helps encourage ventilation, boosting the log cabin’s long life. Double glazing boasts superior heat retention in the colder months and helps keep the heat out during the warmer seasons. It also helps combat noise pollution, helping create a quiet and undisturbed hideaway. A lock and key are supplied as standard so you can secure your building and belongings when not in use. Modern yet enduring ironmongery adds a stylish final flourish to both the interior and exterior of your new garden retreat.
UPVC doors and windows
UPVC is a low-maintenance material that doesn't need yearly treatments like wooden framed windows. You can pick choose from three attractive colours, anthracite, oak, and white to customize your log cabin without needing paint. UPVC provides security with a light but strong frame, strong locks, and double-glazed glass that keeps unauthorized entry at bay.
When choosing a log cabin, energy efficiency is important. Our UPVC log cabins have 44mm interlocking log boards, the thickest size, making them perfect for year-round use. The UPVC framing and double-glazed windows also reduce outside noise, creating a peaceful and productive space.
Experience the serenity of UPVC windows, enhanced with a state-of-the-art multipoint locking system that assures your peace of mind by keeping intruders at bay. What's more, our innovative window locking mechanism enables secure ventilation, ensuring your windows stay open without fear of being slammed shut by sudden gusts.
Features
The roof and floor of the Dove are constructed using hard-wearing 16mm tongue and groove boards that interlock to create robust and strong panels, ideal for all your belongings. In addition, high quality roofing felt is supplied to protect your log cabin from the elements and provide longevity. An additional vent promotes airflow within the cabin, reducing the risk of moisture inside the building and enhancing overall ventilation.
Anti-rot Guarantee
Our log cabins come with a 10 year anti-rot guarantee as standard, meaning you can relax knowing your building is covered by us. In order to ensure the validity of the guarantee, you will need to treat your log cabin every year with wood treatment to prevent fungal attacks and promote its long life.
Installation available
If you'd rather not handle the log cabin construction yourself and prefer a stress-free experience, we have the perfect solution. Choose our Home Installation Service, and our skilled installers will arrive, ensuring your new retreat is assembled to our meticulous standards. They'll take care of the cleanup, leaving you with nothing to do but step in and relish your new space. Please note, if you’re opting for our home installation service, you will need to have a firm and level base ready for construction, or have selected the Elite Timber Base option from our upgrades.
If you’re not looking to have this installed by our professional installers, then your log cabin will be delivered as individual tongue and groove timber lengths and should be constructed on a firm and level base.

Important Information
Where can I find the exact measurements of my log cabin?
Before purchasing your new log cabin be sure to check the specific measurements of its size in the Specification section of the product listing. As often in product titles, we round up measurements just so it’s easier for you to find your perfect garden building.
How will my new log cabin arrive?
Your new log cabin will be supplied as a flat-pack DIY kit with full instructions. If you’re taking on the project yourself, be sure to check out our Self-Installation advice page for plenty of helpful tips.
We strongly advise if you are planning on using a third party installer to construct your log cabin that you do not book their services until you receive and are happy with your garden building. As we do not cover any third party cost in the instance of a failed delivery or a damaged item preventing installation.
Please note that this log cabin has been dressed to look its very best in our product images. Any accessories or fixtures featured are not supplied with this garden building.
Does my new log cabin come with any guarantees?
As standard, this log cabin includes a 1 year Manufacturer’s guarantee, as well as a 10 Year Anti-rot Guarantee*. Just make sure to follow the product instructions and our manufacturers recommendations and your guarantee will be good to go.
What does my 10 Year Anti-rot Guarantee cover?
Our entire range of log cabins benefit from our 10 Year Anti-rot Guarantee. This will cover your garden building against fungal decay as long as the conditions of the guarantee have been followed.
These conditions include treating your new garden building with a high-quality timber preservative and waterproof top coat.Treatments of this sort should be applied as soon as your garden building has been constructed, and reapplied annually thereafter. This will enable you to maintain your 10 Year Anti-rot Guarantee and will keep your log cabin in tip-top condition!
Please note that our 10 Year Anti-rot Guarantee does not cover your garden building from the movement of timber that takes place over time. This includes; the twisting, warping and splitting of timber.
For more information on our 10 Year Anti-rot Guarantee please refer to our Terms & Conditions.
Does my new log cabin require planning permission?
We work hard to design all of our garden buildings to adhere to the planning permission guidelines. However, we cannot guarantee that planning permission will not be required. Therefore, before constructing your garden building we advise checking with your local authorities.
What base do I require for my new log cabin?
A flat, level base is essential when building your new log cabin. We recommend the following bases; concrete, slab paving, ground-level bearers or a wooden frame.
Prior to building your log cabin be sure to check your base is level in both directions. If the base of your log cabin is not level when it is constructed it will cause the building to twist and warp with the natural movement of the timber. Therefore, it is really important to adjust your base accordingly to achieve this before constructing your garden building.
For more information on how to build a suitable base take a look at our handy guide. How do I care for my new log cabin? To ensure your log cabin stands the test of time it’s important to follow the guidance outlined in your building’s product instructions and Manufacturer’s Recommendations.
We have also created these super handy Maintenance Guides to help you take care of your cabin. They are full of our expert advice and useful tips so you can enjoy your log cabin for years to come!
However, if you need any further support, don't worry we are on hand to help. Just give our friendly Customer Service Team a call on 0800 029 1000.
How do I care for my garden building’s Styrene windows?
A clear film is used to protect your Styrene windows. Once your log cabin is installed and treated this will need to be removed. This can be done by simply scoring around the edge of the window and peeling back the plastic covering inside and out.
The windows of our garden buildings are designed to fit well. However, over time due to the natural movement of the timber small gaps can occur. To prevent this from occuring make sure to seal your Styrene windows with a silicone sealant inside and out.
To see exactly how to do this, take a look at our Protect Your Shed - Silicone Window Sealant video.
