We’re known for using high-quality, slow-grown European softwood derived from spruce or pine, and our naturally insulated log cabins are no exception. As they’re intended for use 365 days a year, all our cabins are made from 44mm thick logs or thicker to provide a robust structure with maximum longevity and the natural insulation you would expect from timber that is nearly two inches thick. These designs prioritise structural integrity without compromising on style. They’re built with a four-way chamfered notch and fully interlocking, double tongue and groove log system for added roof and floor insulation, which helps to prevent any penetration of wind or damp.
Yet these naturally insulated timber cabins are available with a variety of roof, window, and door options, so you’ll have the final say on the look and functionality of the build. If you can’t find anything you like in our catalogue, we can even build a bespoke insulated cabin, designed specifically for your needs and preferences.
Still struggling to decide which log cabin is right for your home? Take a look at our Buyers Guide for Choosing a Log Cabin to read more about the different options available, and who they’re suited to.
All Tiger cabin logs are designed to interlock with a chamfered finish to ensure a snug fit. The unique four-way chamfered notch system is specially designed to prevent damp or wind penetration. A smooth, solid, strong barrier engineered to meet our high quality standards.
Our timber is sustainably sourced. We use slow grown European softwood, cut in our own sawmill to a high grade. Each log fits tongue and groove for strength and solidity, and is cut to an 0.01mm tolerance. The extra thick 44mm logs have a double tongue and groove for an even firmer link.
Tiger garden buildings come with TigerFelt® as standard. This is a thicker, polyester-backed high-grade mineral felt to provide a reliable, weatherproof barrier with reduced wear and tear. Only premium quality roofing felt will do!
Joiner-made doors and windows are supplied fully glazed or boarded, and all external doors are fitted with mortice locks, with double glazing, 5-lever locks and roof shingles upgrades also available.
From just adding an extra window, to something completely original, our expertise means we can help you add your personality into your perfect space. As we mill the timber ourselves, we can be much more flexible than the competition – and much more creative!
Beware of imitations- log cabins which use cheaper styrene plastic windows (which tend to ‘mist’ or shatter easily over time). All Tiger log cabins come with 4mm thick toughened glass as standard. This glazing is more shock and heat resistant than horticultural glass in many other buildings, making your Tiger all the more durable.
With over 100 years of working with timber, we know all about the properties of wood. As well as a wide range of eco-friendly, durable colourful range of paints, we have developed five shades of TigerSkin® Wood Protector to help maintain your building and keep it looking fresh and new with a natural look.
Your Tiger log cabin is simple to put together, using the helpful instructions and videos available, and will look great on a firm & level base constructed from a suitably durable material. We also offer a professional installation service for all Tiger log cabins to make enjoying your new space even easier to achieve!
All Tiger buildings are made to exactly the same high standards, with exactly the same quality timber – so they get exactly the same market-leading Tiger 20 Year Guarantee. Tigers are built to last for decades.
Our naturally insulateing 44mm log cabins are a very versatile choice — thanks to their higher levels of heat retention, they can be used comfortably all year round. This makes our garden cabins perfect for those who plan to use their cabins for something productive like a home office or craft workshop, or even turn it into a fitness space like a yoga studio or gym, as the space will stay a reasonable temperature in every season.
Equally, timber cabins with 44mm logs make a wonderful extra reception room for your home, where you can entertain guests with a view of the garden or just curl up with a book on your own. Whatever you intend to use your cabin for, choosing an insulated design gives you endless options.
Despite their solid structures, naturally insulated garden cabins still require some regular maintenance to stay in their best condition. We build all our cabins from high-quality untreated timber, so you’ll need to treat the wood with a reliable water resistance treatment when it first arrives, before topping up every year to keep it as weatherproof as possible.
It’s also important that you work out the best way to ventilate your cabin – there are several different options to consider, from adding simple wall vents or a whirligig to installing an electric fan, or even just regularly airing it out the old fashioned way. You might want to think about how you’re going to light your insulated cabin too. For instance, if you’re wiring your cabin into the mains, you could choose long-lasting LED bulbs, but if you prefer a warmer aesthetic, you may opt for solar lamps or battery-powered fairy lights instead.

Both large and small naturally insulated log cabins can also last longer because of this extra protection from the elements. And as such, they're definitely worth the extra money.
The Tiger collection features a range of insulated log cabins for the garden – all of which are built with the highest-grade timber. Meanwhile, the thick interlocking logs maximise insulation and warmth inside. With tongue-and-groove boards for the roof and floor, along with robust security measures, the Tiger insulated garden cabin is tasteful in design and reliable in build.
