BEWARE OF CHEAP IMITATION LAKRA LOG CABINS:
Unlike many budget competitor products this log cabin is built with only the highest quality materials and many log cabins in the market simply cannot compare!
THIS LAKRA CABIN features high-grade 44mm interlocking planned and finished logs – beware of log cabins that feature rough edged boards machined from poor quality timber.
THIS LAKRA CABIN feature a specially designed 4-way chamfered notch-joint system ensuring a tight fit to all boards with little room for damp or wind penetration – beware of log cabins that feature square cut logs with square notch-joint, often leaving a sloppy joint with large visible gaps.
THIS LAKRA CABIN features heavy duty green mineral roofing felt as standard, with the easy option to upgrade to premium quality roof shingles – beware of log cabins that come with no roof covering, leaving the cabin completely open to the elements.
THIS LAKRA CABIN feature high quality toughened glazing (for safety reasons) which is factory siliconed and internally beaded to all windows – beware of log cabins that feature lesser quality materials and provide no window beading.
THIS LAKRA CABIN features high quality glazing which is factory siliconed and internally beaded to all windows – beware of log cabins that feature lesser quality materials and provide no window beading.
THIS LAKRA CABIN features a generous all round roof overhang which protects the building from severe conditions – beware of log cabins with little or no roof overhanging leaving them vulnerable to the wind and rain.
It is essential that this Lakra Cabin is assembled strictly in accordance with the instructions supplied on a firm and level base constructed from a suitably durable material. It should also be treated as soon as is practical after assembly and then annually thereafter with an appropriate high quality preservative.

Just had my Lakra 18ft x 12ft cabin installed and, lets be honest, its a thing of beauty! Really nice product. Very pleased I chose Tiger Sheds (TS) for my Log Cabin Now the practical stuff- 1. Had a very accurate design requirement, including landscaping the garden and making the log cabin foundation fit in with the paths, flower beds, awkward fence lines (not square), etc. Got very good information from TS on the exact design of the cabin, which allowed me to squeeze it right into a corner. Information on the web site was very useful, including space needed for installation. But got good service from TS on additional information 2. Delivery was on-time and helpful in getting the pallet positioned where I needed it. The wood is untreated so it needs to be protected from the weather until it is installed. The pallet arrived fully covered for this purpose. A few of the roof and floor boards were damaged but TS supplied replacements promptly, ensuring the installation could go ahead to schedule 3. Used TS's Pro Installation and, if you are considering a cabin of this size, I would recommend you do the same. In my area (Worksop) the Pro installation team was Dave Bennett and his assistant Ryan. Did a really good job, particularly fitting the cabin into the right position, tight to the corner of the foundation, fence posts and aligning to the paving slabs. Now the bits you need to be aware of. These points are listed somewhere on the web site but you could easily miss them and, subsequently, be upset and unhappy with TS- 1. The log cabins are made from completely untreated timber (except for the base struts in contact with the foundation). TS will not recommend wood treatment (other than in general terms) so it is down to you to decide how you want to treat the timber.... and get it done before the cabin gets wet! Although TS will not recommend proprietary wood treatment, I will, as follows- a) 2 coats of Ronseal Total Wood Preservative (clear) This will protect against rot, woodworm, discolouration, etc. and does not inhibit subsequent treatment (paint, oil, etc.). However, it is not waterproof and does not give a nice satin or gloss finish. So, you need to follow this with- b) 2 coats of Sikkens Cetol Filter 7 Plus. This is a coloured finish so you need to decide what 'stain' you want the cabin finished in. This treatment IS waterproof and leaves the wood with a satin (or semi gloss) finish. This finish is good for washing the cabin (particularly useful for removing birds sh) Be aware, unless you cut corners, this is going to cost you around £240 in materials alone 2. When the cabin arrives it is your responsibility to remove it from the pallet, count and inspect every piece!!!! If you fail to do this then the installing team may not be able to install the cabin. I was fortunate in that I had to move the cabin from my drive to the rear of the house and, in doing so, found a few floor and roof panels were damaged. Now if you find yourself in the same situation I recommend you- a) Carefully remove the protective cover from the pallet (you are going to need this later to re-cover the material before installation) b) Photograph the damaged items, list them and immediately get in touch with TS. They will promptly send out replacement parts c) Re-palletise the cabin in the order you removed it from the pallet originally d) Re-cover it to protect it from weather until it is installed 3. If your base is not perfectly flat (and I mean 'perfectly flat' to millimetre accuracy) you will find that the door frames and window frames will distort and may well cause the doors and windows to jam. Providing you are competent with a wood chisel and sander this is no big deal...... but be aware! 4. Installation does not include fitting the guttering. Again, no big deal but just be aware I hope this information is of help. If I had known some of these points it would have made the process a lot less stressful... even though the end result is well worth it

Bought this cabin as we needed a nice outdoor space in summer, and we love it. The outdoor shelter was the appeal of this building, as we can have a barbecue even when it's raining. Great service throughout, I was called before delivery, and the installation happened the same week. Really good quality, strong and it looks great. Well happy!

Marvellous building, well worth the money and even worth paying a little extra for the shingles as I think it looks top notch. A pleasure doing business with Tiger Sheds

Amazing accuracy of fitting, it was like building a Lego Hut & actually fun to build. The very robust & the compact style of this cabin suited my Garden perfectly. Tiger were very helpful with back up information on the build when required & deliver time was spot on. I would not hesitate to recommend this hut or Tiger as supplier of Log Cabins. regards Mike Higgins.
