A New Era of Garden Living Awaits You in the Southeast

Imagine stepping into your garden and being greeted by a charming clock house log cabin that perfectly complements your Sussex or Kent property. Whether you’re in the coastal charm of Brighton, the historic streets of Canterbury, or the rolling hills of the Weald, there’s something truly magical about adding a clock house to your outdoor space. It’s not just a building—it’s an experience, a statement, and a transformation of your entire property.

At Factory Cabins, we’ve dedicated ourselves to bringing this magic to homeowners across East Sussex, West Sussex, and Kent. From the vibrant seafront of Hastings to the tranquil countryside of Tunbridge Wells, our premium clock house log cabins are enhancing gardens and creating new possibilities for outdoor living. And the best part? Each one is crafted with the same care and precision that has made us the industry leader in clock house design.

The Clock House Difference: More Than Just a Pretty Face

When you choose a clock house log cabin for your Sussex or Kent property, you’re not just selecting a garden building—you’re choosing a piece of living history with modern functionality. Our clock houses blend traditional craftsmanship with contemporary engineering to create structures that are as practical as they are beautiful.

What makes our clock house log cabins truly special? It’s the attention to detail that transforms a simple garden building into a destination. The distinctive clock tower design creates visual interest that draws the eye and becomes an instant focal point in your garden. But beyond aesthetics, our clock houses offer genuine year-round usability thanks to our superior construction methods.

Unlike standard garden sheds that sit empty for half the year, our clock house log cabins are designed for genuine four-season enjoyment. Whether you’re using it as a peaceful garden office in East Grinstead, a creative studio in Canterbury, or a guest accommodation in Folkestone, our clock houses provide the comfort and functionality you need regardless of the weather outside.

Crafted with Care in Our Lithuanian Factory: Where Tradition Meets Innovation

One of the questions we’re often asked is: “Where are these beautiful clock houses made?” The answer might surprise you—it’s not in a UK factory as many competitors claim, but in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Lithuania.

This might seem counterintuitive at first glance, but it’s precisely this location that gives us our competitive edge. Lithuania has a centuries-old tradition of woodworking and cabinetry that dates to when timber was the primary building material for homes and community structures. Our craftsmen have inherited this knowledge and combined it with modern manufacturing techniques to create log cabins that are simply unmatched in quality.

Our factory isn’t just a production facility—it’s a hub of innovation where traditional woodworking meets cutting-edge technology. Every clock house log cabin begins as a digital blueprint created by our design team, then moves to our CNC machinery that cuts each component to tolerances of ±0.1mm. This precision engineering ensures that every piece fits together perfectly, creating a structure that’s not only beautiful but incredibly sturdy.

But why Lithuania specifically? The answer lies in our commitment to quality control. By manufacturing everything in our own facility, we maintain complete oversight of every step of the production process. There are no middlemen, no importers, no distributors—just direct manufacturing from our team to your garden. This allows us to deliver the highest quality products at the most competitive prices, without compromising on the materials or craftsmanship that make our clock houses so special.

The Secret Ingredient: Winter-Cut, Slow-Grown Swedish Spruce

If our Lithuanian manufacturing gives us the precision, it’s our choice of materials that gives our clock house log cabins their exceptional performance and longevity. We use only winter-cut, slow-grown Swedish spruce—a decision that makes all the difference in the quality and durability of your cabin.

Why winter-cut? It’s all about the sap content. When trees are harvested during the winter months (typically December through February), the sap is at its lowest level. This means the wood is drier, more stable, and less prone to warping or cracking as it adjusts to its new environment. Winter-cut timber also has a tighter grain structure, which translates to greater strength and dimensional stability—critical factors for a building that needs to withstand the variable British climate.

And why slow-grown Swedish spruce? The answer lies in Sweden’s unique growing conditions. With long, harsh winters and short growing seasons, Swedish spruce develops at a much slower rate than faster-growing alternatives. This slow growth produces timber with incredibly tight annual rings—sometimes as many as 30-40 rings per inch—compared to the 5-10 rings per inch found in faster-grown pine.

The benefits of this slow growth are profound:

• Superior dimensional stability: Less movement as humidity changes
• Higher density: Greater strength and screw-holding capacity
• Tighter grain: Fewer knots and a more uniform appearance
• Natural durability: Enhanced resistance to decay and insect damage

This combination of winter-cut harvesting and slow growth creates a timber that’s perfectly suited for log cabin construction. It’s stable enough to maintain precise tolerances in our interlocking system, strong enough to support multi-story designs, and beautiful enough to showcase the natural grain of the wood without excessive finishing.

When you choose a Factory Cabins clock house, you’re not just getting a garden building—you’re investing in a structure crafted from some of the finest timber available anywhere in the world. This commitment to premium materials is why our clock houses maintain their beauty and performance for decades, not just seasons.

Your Perfect Clock House: Single-Skin or Twin-Skin?

One of the most exciting aspects of our clock house log cabins is the flexibility they offer in terms of construction and insulation. Whether you’re looking for a seasonal garden retreat or a year-round living space, we have the perfect solution for your Sussex or Kent property.

Single-Skin Clock Houses: The Classic Choice

Our single-skin clock houses are available in both 44mm and 70mm thicknesses, providing excellent value for those seeking a traditional garden building. These structures are perfect for:

• Seasonal garden offices in milder East Sussex locations
• Garden storage solutions that need to withstand coastal conditions
• Creative studios where year-round temperature control isn’t critical
• Decorative focal points that enhance your garden’s aesthetic

The 70mm single-skin option offers superior thermal performance compared to standard 44mm constructions, making it suitable for extended use into the cooler months. Many of our customers in sheltered Kent locations find that the 70mm single skin provides sufficient insulation for most of the year, especially when combined with our premium window and door systems.

Twin-Skin Clock Houses: Year-Round Luxury

For those seeking genuine year-round usability, our twin-skin clock houses represent the pinnacle of garden building technology. Available in both 44mm x 44mm and 70mm x 70mm configurations, these structures feature a fully insulated cavity between the two timber skins that delivers exceptional thermal performance.

The standard twin-skin configuration includes a 100mm insulation cavity, but we can customize this to meet your specific needs—whether you need enhanced insulation for a coastal location exposed to sea winds or a more moderate solution for a sheltered West Sussex Garden. This flexibility means your clock house can maintain comfortable interior temperatures with minimal heating requirements, even during the coldest Kent winters.

What truly sets our twin-skin clock houses apart is how the insulation is integrated into the structure. Unlike competitors who add insulation as an afterthought, our twin-skin design incorporates the insulation cavity as a fundamental part of the wall system. This creates a continuous thermal barrier that eliminates cold bridging and prevents condensation—common problems with less sophisticated constructions.

Unparalleled Customization: Your Vision, Realized

One of the most exciting aspects of choosing a Factory Cabins clock house is the level of customization available. Unlike many suppliers who offer only pre-determined models, we believe your garden building should reflect your unique needs and preferences.

Our bespoke design service allows you to:

• Choose your size: From compact 3m x 3m clock houses perfect for small Brighton gardens to spacious 6m x 4m structures for larger Kent properties
• Select your configuration: Single-story or multi-story designs to maximize your available space
• Customize window and door placement: To capture specific views or optimize natural light
• Specify interior layout: For offices, studios, guest accommodations, or multi-functional spaces
• Select finishes and details: To match your property’s aesthetic

This level of customization is possible because we manufacture everything in our Lithuanian facility. Rather than working from pre-cut inventory, we create each component specifically for your project. This means no compromises—just a clock house that fits your space and needs perfectly.

Many of our Sussex and Kent customers have taken advantage of this customization to create truly unique spaces. One client in Royal Tunbridge Wells transformed their clock house into a stunning home office with custom shelving and a built-in desk. Another in Margate created a coastal-themed guest accommodation with panoramic windows facing the sea. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.

Why Sussex and Kent Homeowners Choose Factory Cabins

The Southeast presents unique opportunities and challenges for garden buildings, and our clock house log cabins are specifically engineered to excel in this environment. Here’s why homeowners across East Sussex, West Sussex, and Kent choose us:

Coastal Resilience

From the seafronts of Brighton and Hastings to the coastal towns of Kent, our clock houses are designed to withstand the challenges of coastal living. The combination of winter-cut Swedish spruce, marine-grade hardware, and our precision interlocking system creates structures that resist salt air corrosion and withstand coastal winds better than standard constructions.

Conservation Area Compliance

Many properties in Sussex and Kent fall within conservation areas or Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Our clock houses, with their natural wood finishes and traditional designs, often receive planning permission more readily than modern garden buildings. We can also provide guidance on specific requirements for your local area.

Microclimate Adaptation

The Southeast features diverse microclimates—from the sheltered valleys of the Weald to the exposed heights of the South Downs. Our twin-skin technology allows us to tailor the insulation levels to your specific location, ensuring optimal performance regardless of your garden’s unique conditions.

Heritage Integration

Sussex and Kent are rich in architectural heritage, and our clock houses complement both traditional and contemporary properties. Whether you have a period home in Canterbury or a modern build in Eastbourne, our designs can be customized to harmonize with your property’s aesthetic.

The Factory Cabins Promise: Quality You Can Trust

When you choose a Factory Cabins clock house, you’re not just purchasing a product—you’re entering a relationship with a company that genuinely cares about your satisfaction. Our commitment to quality extends far beyond the manufacturing process:

Precision Engineering

Every component of your clock house is CNC-machined to tolerances of ±0.1mm, ensuring perfect fit and structural integrity. This precision engineering is what allows our interlocking system to create such stable, durable structures.

Premium Window and Door Technology

Our clock houses feature what many industry experts consider the finest window and door system available. Crafted from thermally modified timber with 28mm toughened glass, our tilt-and-turn windows deliver superior thermal performance, security, and acoustic insulation. Unlike standard cabin windows that warp and stick, our glulam construction maintains perfect alignment for decades of smooth operation.

Comprehensive Support

Factory Cabins isn’t just selling products—we’re delivering outdoor living solutions that enhance your property and lifestyle. As many satisfied customers will vouch, we’re here to help with any questions or concerns, even years after your purchase. We don’t consider you just another customer; you’re why we do what we do.

10-Year Manufacturer’s Warranty

We stand behind the quality of our clock houses with a comprehensive 10-year manufacturer’s warranty—the longest in the industry. This warranty covers both materials and workmanship, giving you complete peace of mind with your investment.

Real Sussex and Kent Stories: Clock Houses in Action

The true measure of our clock houses’ value comes from the stories of our customers across the Southeast. Here are just a few examples of how our clock houses are transforming gardens in Sussex and Kent:

The Brighton Beach Office

Sarah, a marketing consultant in Brighton, was struggling to work from home with two young children. She needed a dedicated workspace that would allow her to focus during the day while remaining connected to family life. After researching options, she chose a 5.5m x 4m twin-skin clock house with a custom window placement to maximize sea views.

“The difference has been incredible,” Sarah shares. “I have a professional workspace that my clients love, but I’m still right in the garden where I can keep an eye on the kids. The twin-skin insulation means I can work comfortably year-round—no more freezing in winter or overheating in summer.”

The Canterbury Creative Studio

James, a photographer in Canterbury, needed a light-filled space for editing and planning his shoots. He selected a 5m x 4m single-story clock house with large north-facing windows and custom shelving for his equipment.

“The natural light in the clock house is perfect for my work,” James explains. “And because it’s so well insulated, I can spend hours in there without worrying about temperature fluctuations affecting my equipment. The Swedish spruce has aged beautifully, developing a lovely patina that complements my historic property.”

The Tunbridge Wells Guest Accommodation

The Thompson family in Tunbridge Wells wanted to create a comfortable space for visiting grandparents without the expense of a home extension. They opted for a 6m x 4m twin-skin clock house with a custom interior layout featuring a small kitchenette and en-suite bathroom.

“It’s been a game-changer for us,” says Emma Thompson. “Our parents can stay with us without feeling like they’re intruding, and we’ve even started using it as an Airbnb during quieter periods. The quality of construction means it feels like a real home, not a temporary structure.”

A Family Custom

Factory Cabins was founded in 2001. Our adventure began with a simple vision: to design extraordinary garden structures that are in harmony with nature and will last a lifetime. We continue to follow this legacy with unshakable dedication, even today. We were the first to bring log cabins to the UK, and it was us that helped shape the market today, as most of the top 3 sellers in the UK came to us, cap in hand asking us to help them, and supply them, sadly since those days, they have ventured off on their own, and have brought nothing of quality to the market but mass manufactured rubbish; they have not changed the doors, windows, or range. Same old crap, year after year, the only thing thats changed is the prices.

Unrivalled Knowledge

Our staff consists of seasoned artisans and craftspeople with decades of experience. Their skill, along with our cutting-edge facilities, guarantees that each garden structure we design is a work of beauty in its own right.

As a result, we only use the best timber and other materials, guaranteeing that each construction is built to last. And if you follow our tearms and conditions your cabin can last many many years, not the ten years everyone always brages about, but 20-30 years easy, you just need to follow our recommendations. As part of our commitment to sustainability, we source our wood from goverment responsibly managed forests.

Custom Design

No two gardens are alike, and neither should the garden structures that adorn them be. We specialise in producing custom- bespoke designs that are suited to your individual requirements and tastes. Our design staff collaborates directly with you to realise your idea, ensuring that your garden building is a true representation of your personality.

Materials for Sustainable Construction

Using eco-friendly materials in your garden office not only decreases your environmental impact but also increases the value of your property. To build an environmentally conscious workstation, use sustainably sourced wood, energy-efficient windows, and insulation.

Technology and wiring

Hiring a skilled electrician to perform the wiring will ensure that your garden office is fully functional. For remote work, a dependable internet connection is crucial, so invest in a high-speed, outdoor-ready Wi-Fi system. Additionally, to reduce energy consumption, consider adopting eco-friendly lighting alternatives. We can help with this.

Blending Landscaping and Aesthetics with Nature

A well-designed garden office fits in with its environment. Planting native trees and plants around the office not only improves its aesthetics but also supports biodiversity. With a garden path and a little patio for breaks, you can create a relaxing ambiance.

Permits and Regulations

Considerations Legal

Before beginning your garden office project, learn about local restrictions and permit needs. Compliance with these regulatory requirements promotes a smooth construction process and peace of mind. We can help with this.

Finally, the concept of a garden office is more than a trend; it is a lifestyle option that provides an ideal work-life balance.

Kevin Langham is the guy behind the Clock House Log Cabins unquestionable success, with creative ideas and high quality craftsmanship. He believes that his customers should have the highest level of elegance and modernity in their garden structures.

The Clock House Log Cabin was created in 2005 and rapidly became the go-to solution for customers wishing to add grandeur and functionality to their landscaping. Unlike ordinary log houses, the Clock House log home was planned and built with distinctive elements that set it apart. The flared window sills, ornamental cornices, bevelled door frames, heavy-gauge steel roofing, and multi-pane mullioned windows were considered modern and attractive.

The Clock House Log Cabin is a strong and appealing construction made of Nordic spruce that will last for many years. It is built to resist the elements, making it vital for anyone who appreciates gardening. The timber is double-membraned with an interlocking insulated system (TWINSkin) that keeps the interior warm while keeping the outside cooler due to its insulating properties. This reduces energy expenditures while also providing a sense of cosy comfort.

The installation of a precut porch is one of the Clock House Log Cabins distinguishing features. This porch enables the cabin to fit snugly on all four sides of a garden or outdoor space. This porch also provides some shade from the sun or rain, providing the user with an extra layer of comfort and safety. Outdoor events and barbecues can also be held on the porch. It is simple to assemble and quick to set up, and with the addition of a few outdoor chairs and tables, it transforms into the ideal setting for an outdoor gathering or party.

The Clock House is also built for security, with gUt Wagner-style locks and robust hinges. This aids in the prevention of theft and vandalism. It also enables for quick access to the cabin in the event of a fire, as well as the installation of emergency fire ladders. This function is especially significant for those who reside in locations prone to natural disasters.

The Clock House Log Cabin is created with high quality craftsmanship and attention to detail, in addition to its exceptional design. All corners are bevelled to reduce structural stress, and the cabin is built with air vents to assist decrease moisture and improve air circulation.

Kevin Langham’s Clock House Log Cabin has become a cherished component of garden landscaping due to its durability and attractive appearance, and one that will stand out and stand the test of time. Customers can choose from a variety of sizes and styles to get the ideal log home for their needs.

The log cabins construction was groundbreaking at the time. The unique TwinSkin system ensured optimal heat insulation and structural integrity. Safety and convenience were offered by the use of a precut porch and emergency fire ladders.

Those who have utilised the Clock House Log Cabin have generally approved of it, and its popularity has skyrocketed. The Clock House Log Cabin will remain a timeless and fashionable addition to the garden, whether used for outdoor events, barbecues, or simply leisure.

Kevin Langham has successfully challenged the ‘conventional’ garden building market by providing truly unique and high-quality items that are tailored to the customer’s specific needs. He has successfully elevated garden design to a new level of quality and refinement.

His creative thought and perseverance have ensured the Clock House Log Cabins success, and its popularity continues to grow year after year. He is a true pioneer, and the world of landscape design and landscaping is extremely fortunate to have him.

Conclusion

When it comes to acquiring mass-produced log cabins, regardless of the type—clock house log cabins, twin-skin insulated buildings, or the normal cheap versions—threats galore. These structures are frequently mass-produced, with profit taking precedence over quality. The 44mm and twin-skin 44mm x 44mm mass-produced log cabins are particularly infamous for their lack of durability and poor workmanship. While they may appear to be a fantastic price at first, they are likely to disappoint upon delivery, showing substandard construction and materials. Before making such a large purchase, it is critical to exercise extreme caution and conduct extensive research.

Introduction
The double skin log cabin insulated clock house is a unique marriage of design, practicality, and sustainability in the world of architectural innovation. This innovative idea reimagines the traditional log cabin, providing an insulated refuge that not only embraces the rustic appeal of wood but also provides remarkable energy efficiency. Let’s go into the interesting world of twin skin log houses and see how they’re changing our perceptions of comfort and environmental responsibility.

1. The Evolution of Log Cabins: From Necessity to Luxury

The introduction of double skin technology was a watershed moment in the evolution of log cabins. This method involves the building of two walls with an insulating space between them, revolutionising the concept of energy-efficient living.

2. Embracing Sustainability and Energy Efficiency
   2.1 A Greener Footprint
   Twin skin log homes are extremely sustainable, requiring less energy and having a lower environmental impact. The insulation layer between the walls functions as a natural temperature regulator, decreasing the need for excessive heating or cooling.

2.2 Energy Conservation and Comfort
The insulation not only keeps the interior warm in the winter, but it also helps to keep the interior cool in the summer. This energy saving not only lowers power bills but also creates a sense of environmental responsibility.

3. The Allure of Insulated Clock Houses

These clock homes are multipurpose spaces that can be used as art studios, home offices, reading nooks, or even a personal gym. The insulation ensures a peaceful environment, making them excellent for focused work or leisure activities.

4. Design and customization options
   4.1 Tailored to Your Tastes
   Twin skin log cottages can be tailored to your aesthetic preferences. Whether you like a classic rustic aesthetic or a more contemporary design, these cabins may be customised to fit your needs.

4.2 Increasing the Value of Your Home
The originality and practicality of double skin log homes can considerably raise the value of your land. These cabins are more than just structures; they are investments that promise both personal comfort and financial gain.

5. Creating Your Dream Log Cabin with Twin Skins
   5.1 Professional Advice
   To ensure the insulation and structural integrity of a dual skin log cabin, skilled construction is required. Consulting with experts in the sector ensures a successful and joyful building experience.

5.2 Investigating Design Alternatives
During the planning phase, you’ll have the option to experiment with several designs and layouts that suit your needs and tastes. This is where the actual essence of personalisation comes to life.

Conclusion

The dual skin log cabin insulated clock home is a tribute to the peaceful combination of nature, design, and modern technology. It represents ecological living, energy efficiency, and personalised comfort, all wrapped up in the timeless beauty of wood. As we continue to embrace creative building concepts, these cabins serve as a reminder that luxury and environmental responsibility can definitely coexist.

1. What exactly is a double skin log cabin insulated clock house?
   A twin skin log cabin is a construction with two walls and an insulating space in between that provides remarkable energy efficiency. An insulated clock house is a multifunctional place within the cabin that provides both comfort and tranquilly.
2. How do twin skin log homes assist to sustainability?
   The insulation of double skin log cabins maintains inside temperature, decreasing the need for excessive heating or cooling, lowering energy consumption and increasing environmental sustainability.
3. Can I change the style of my twin skin log cabin?
   Absolutely! Twin skin log houses can be customised to your design choices, ensuring that your cabin reflects your distinct style and taste.
4. Can these cottages be used all year?
   Yes, the insulation in twin skin log cabins makes them appropriate for year-round use, giving comfort regardless of the season.
5. How do insulated clock houses increase property value?
   Because of their unique blend of usefulness and visual charm, insulated clock houses can raise the total value of your property. But you must run water to them, and of course gray water away. This means the Cabin can be turned into a passive income if it has sufficient insulation and is manufactured correctly, not some built rubbish with cheap nasty windows and doors and a roof that sags like an beer drinking bear.

The Price and Quality out beats every other cabin on the market to date.

Now I dare you to visit any website in the UK and put this ordinary DF Log Cabin of ours up against anyone else’s.

Now before we begin, I am not going to tell you what certain size timbers are used in our cabins our structural timbers, as I want you to do your homework and ask other companies, ask them also about how their windows and doors are made, also the thickness of the windows and doors, what material they use for their window and doors, and glass thickness, is it up to what standard etc. I am fed up with pushing this industry up the hill with new ideas and designs, we stopped designing last year as we have over 7000+ designs, most of which have been copied.

So back to what you ask the company you think is offering you a bargain, what thickness are their roof purlins as this shows the kind of KN value you can expect from your roof. They will not have this information at hand to tell you, and will tell you to call back, or talk you around this, they will then think your a difficult customer because you’re asking all the right questions, which to them are the wrong questions, and when and if you have further conversations with them, most of it is lies.

We answer so many peoples questions, about how to look after a cabins, how to make bases, what to look for etc, but we have decided from the beginning of next week we will give just the basics. We are now picking our customers, as there are so many customers asking for our Range of High End Cabins.

Always Pay with a Credit Card

This industry is full of cowboys and thieves, and to be honest, 99.9% sell crap against what we manufacturer, and our prices are fair and honest. Actually our prices for the quality of the log cabin we offer and timber frame buildings are actually below the market value,

So please remember this, you pick a log cabin from any website,, and it looks amazing, and the price is low, low means its cheaply made, nothing else, it’s not a bargain, it’s not a steal, it’s not a fantastic day for you to celebrate, as you are just about to be conned into buying a package of crap, you look at what you have bought and put it up against ours and you think amazing, the same..but cheaper.. a cabin such as ours in look, but not in any other way the same as ours, their timbers will be thinner, their timber will be fast grown baltic pine, cheap and rots very quickly, and will need a lot of looking after , the windows and doors are rubbish, furnished with chinese handles, locks, keys and hinges and we all know rust, and breakages will happen sooner rather than later with these, purlins are 50% smaller in cut, strength, durability, and the cabin will be just a cheaply manufactured charlatan copy , a mass produced shed, as these can not be called cabins.

Always pay with a credit card

These Log Cabin doors took us 8 months to design and manufacture, so they would last a minimum of 10 years. These are the best doors in the industry.

Always pay with a credit card

The post Today, let’s talk about the DF range. appeared first on Factory Cabins LV Blog.

( Put it into a short version, they are selling you the look and not the strength , quality or value )

In 2001, we started selling log cabins into the UK, ( the first) we had to convince the public they were better than cheap, sheds, which they are and always will be, sheds are sadly a waste of money and timber, remember the material most sheds are manufactured from is crap, but if that material was cut a bit thicker, you could manufacture a better building, which would cost only slightly more but last 10 years 15 years longer if treated correctly. Reading terms and conditions is always sensible when sealing with a company whose prices are cheaper than everyone else, as normally you pay and then that’s that! Anyway getting back to 2007/2008 many of the big shed companies started buying from us, cabins, and introducing them to their customer base, we had a happy 3 years, and then every man and his dog started manufacturing cabins and copying most of the designs I had personally done, including the twinskin system and the clock house, but no one was or is as good as us, they are mostly just in it for the money, and when a recession turns up, they go broke, and with that I am bankrupt message goes your deposit, which is why I always say, PAY WITH A CARD!

Sadly the Irish , both sides of the border are deaf to this message, I have no clue why as AIB, and British Banks do not care , sadly they are not in touch with their customer base, just what you owe, and what they lend, if you have money with either they charge you to look after it, it’s disgusting.
Politics is never to be written, but I believe in honesty and justice, also I believe that if a man comes to your house, and take a deposit, and then goes bankrupt, his house, car, land whatever, should be grabbed by the government and sold to reimburse those that were stolen from.

Now in the UK that’s never going to happen, as half of the Millionaires-Billionaires, would be poor men, and the people would be heard, the laws were set to make those of power , more powerful, and the working man to know his place.
And the tradesman who wants to climb up onto the cart of Millionaires must there for play the same game, which is sadly go bankrupt and keep your deposits. Which is what they do. And what happens to them, Zero.

I was watching the news and I saw that the Cargo, Boat Line, P&O ferries sacked 800 staff illegally, and brought in cheap foreign workers, so why don’t we sake P&O ferries from the UK and bring in another boat line that does not break the law, P&O really were not punished. As they put peoples lives at risk by their actions by recruiting a staff of untrained crew, who have no legal right to be in the UK or our waters. Yet the government is weak and sad and just forgets about the British dignity.
So where is this leading, I am highlighting how it is now, how the UK looks at bankruptcy and it’s not the same as it was say 20 years ago. This has a lot to do with our laws, and how WOKE our parliament has become. We have stopped being men, and now we are only a slight shadow of what wer were and our grandfathers were. When there was a wrong we marched on Parliament, Remember the iraq war, WMD’s tony blair and his crew, who are all still sat in parliament, nothing changes regarding breaking the law on bankruptcy because they are all at it themselves.

Thats why I say, PAY BY CARD, then the thieving scoundrels, will be held to account, because the banks hate to lose and will take the merchant holder to court, and they will put them in prison, and they will put the Police on them, so PAY BY CARD.

I know I go on and on,but soon this world has changed, and man’s manners have got lost, greed and dishonesty live at every corner of most of the mouths of most traders in this market, and crap that is sold is just unworthy of the payment you make.

Ready, this is written on a web site, And it’s all crap!

1.  Special wall logs with double tongue for improved steadiness * all wall logs have double tongue and groove,
2. Floor boards 21 mm, floor joists 60/80 mm and roof beams with dimensions at least 80/160 mm. Floorboards minimum 28mm and Roof purlins always 45 mm x 220mm, floor joists are normally a bespoke size, depending on insulation wanted by customer. Our customer base is always bespoking.
3. Windows from glued timber (68 mm system), with double glass and rubber seals (Our Standard)
4. Tilt/turn hinges from a German manufacturer (Our Standard)
5. Double doors from laminated timber (cladded from both sides) (Our Standard)
6. NEW Tirolean joint (only 90 degrees corners are possible in this system) This type of log cut is not strong, it needs a metal rod of quite a large diameter and tightening monthly. Which means you need metal throughout the whole cabin through the walls, which is very costly.
   • We tried this with glulam Larch timber, which is far stiffer and 100X stronger than this timber shown, and it was a massive, costly mistake. It has zero in the way of strength. Plus if you notice the t&G is cut cheaply. Now you might ask yourself why i put this down,

There is a reason for this, its because this company wants you to waste your hard earned money on a New Product, it’s not new, the russians were making there barns in this style 100’s of years ago, then they went to the new way, why because Dovetail joints leak, they have actually no core strength. no I say this for buildings, and if you rod, and dowel and screw the logs together and you use this joint, fine, but the companies that sell this will not go to this length and that why its a con of a joint.

Whats do I know about Joint, look below, and then ask me again.

We can manufacture any kind of joint in the world, the machine we have is so sophisticated that it can make a cup from a 400mm x 400mm piece of Siberian Larch Glulam, or all the purlins for Lidl. Whichever is ordered. As you can see we manufacture lengths of timber possibly none of you could imaging could exist, check out these glulam lengths below…

Yep longggggg…

Anyway I have completely forgotten what I was talking about, trust, credit cards, going bust, running off with your credit cards, distrusting people who write rubbish.

I have people on a daily basis thank me for this blog as it puts the true light into the business, so my lasting thoughts to you from me, on this Sunday night are these, 99.9% of all the companies have been bust at least once, they all cut down the safety features of their cabins, in other words, same cabins in looks only half of the timber is used to manufacturing it now. Windows and doors, may look like my new ones, but none of them are, and as the founding father of this log cabin industry in the UK an Ireland I would say very confidently that no one has given more thought of designs, higher standards of build quality, and has kept prices as low as we have and 99% of all companies selling cabins in the UK are not worth even half of what they’re advertised for. When we first started manufacturing here in the Baltics it took us about four years to actually get everyone to understand the level we needed for the UK market and still we have to push each and every day to keep that level high. Otherwise the market from outside would be a mess there are companies that manufacture log Cabins and Timber Frame buildings that are absolutely rubbish and not even worth looking at but how do you tell ( Mr Customer) when every 3D image or 3-D video looks the same as everyone else’s, So you run to the show site where the best of the best cabins they have ever made are on display. It is never a good idea to go to a show site and get your head filled up with their lies, its always best to speak to one of their customers, and ask them how it all went, or maybe 5 customers or 10, this way you will have a honest review on who and what they pretend to be.

We have been here from the beginning, and honestly speaking 99% of this industry is full of conmen!

To other people, we look at how its planned and cut, treated and notched.
So heres a small lesson.

This is Russian, Quality Timber.

Then there is Baltic Cut Timber, most companies use this if they are manufacturing bulk cabins, as its cheap, and honestly, nasty,

99.9% of people use this timber to manufacturer their sheds, cabins etc from, why , cost, the cost to you is high to them low, the longevity of the manufactured item months not years.

So when your picking a log cabin be smart….. Your money was hard to come by, spend it wisely. In the land of sheds and cabins , lies are told more than truths.

Fact Winter Cut timber is the best!
Fact we only use winter Cut timber.
Fact buy direct saves you 1000’s and you get the best quality their is to have.
And lastly, if you want the best, come to the company that designed 99.9% of all cabins in the market to date.
We invented the twinskin system, and were the first to manufature, market and sell.
The clockhouse, the aurora, coin phrased the term garden office for a 4m x 5m log cabin, and so much more.

We are the longest running company in the cabin industry, and we are proud to say we have made this industry what it is today, by always pushing harder and harder.

We designed over many years a new set of windows and doors, and how they were to work, they working part has not been copied, but the design has.

We started our company here in Lithuania some 20 years ago, then when the UK decided it was to leave the EU so did we, and now we trade direct as a UK LTD company to the same audience but giving our customers something unique, and that is this, we have the largest collection of our own designed log cabins and timber buildings, and now we can sell them to you direct from our Factory, and you can pay us by credit card, and unlike everyone else, your getting your building direct from source, no greedy middle fingers, no one going bust on you or running away, as far as i am concerned you would be mad going anywhere else, unless your looking for cheap rubbish, then yes, we are not the company to speak to, and again from us manufacturing your log cabin in record time, and your getting a building that is freshly manufactured, its not from a pile of old mass produced cabins manufactured in 2019, our prices are great, your not purchasing your log cabin from a reseller who goes bust and runs off when he spends profit first and then can’t afford to pay us for his cabin bill, this happens far too often, and please check out our windows and doors.

Day and Night our Clock Houses looks amazing, thank you Ian for the photos, this Clock House is in Windsor, and fits amazingly beside a beautiful house, as this is the top of the line, Log Cabin. Factory Cabins is known for quality, please check out our windows and doors.

You must be very wary of the 12 week waiting time scenario, companies who you think you can trust, tell you the waiting time is 12/14/16 weeks, and you pay a deposit, after that 16 weeks has elapses, they go bust! They go off line, and you will receive sorry letters, but your deposit is gone, and then you have to go back to the bank to see if its possible to get your money back, we do not have a waiting time, we are as always pre Virus 4/5 weeks, the same as it was before, and 4/5 weeks after said Virus.

So if your told to wait, be careful………………….

Please remember , 2007, many resellers went broke, pay by card. deposit and for full payment. Be clever, and be happy! Keep your distance and wear a mask!

Regarding purchasing Cabins, Timber Buildings or any item from Self Employed Dealers. Resellers,  who sell our LV or FC brand, if you went to the Self Employed Dealers, reseller,  first, please do not come to us, if you have a question, concerns please call us, but as they are resellers, we are unable to do anything legally to them regarding their prices , Please remember and do not forget a business needs earn money, we can say what we think they should be sold at, but we cannot by law demand they sell it at what we think. So, it’s always best to look at other websites, and please remember our cabins are high quality, so like for like pricing will be difficult, but there are a few companies out there that are the same nearly as ours and you can gauge if the pricing if fair or not.

I say this all the time, pay with a credit card………. It keeps you safe.

We have no claim or claims to our dealerships working practises, or who and what they do. We are not responsible for deposits they may take, and we are not responsible for broken doors, windows, or bad workmanship, fitted kitchens, bad fitted bathrooms etc, we however would like to be told this in writing so we can take the matter to the company concerned and ask them to help you with your concerns.

When we deliver a cabin to our resellers, they are the owner of that cabin, timber building etc, until they give it to you, you don’t even own it, once its delivered to you, you sign for it, but before you do, inspect it, you can refuse to sign for it if there is damage. The law is on your side, however if you have had a bespoke cabin made for you, and there are missing parts, or a broken door, you cannot return this, the company (reseller) has 28 days, or whatever his T and C’s  say in which to fix your Log Cabin. We have some amazing resellers, and they will bend over to help you have that amazing cabin in your garden.

Here is a note to everyone, only buy a cabin if your job is secure, and you can afford it, as most cabins are bespoke manufactured for you, refunds are almost impossible. So please beware of this.

Please take note, please,please always ask if you can pay with a credit card.

Thank you for reading.

Kate Log Cabin – 3.5 m x 5.6 m is without doubt the best 44mm log cabin that gives you so much outside covered space which is airy and a great place to relax in the summer out of the sun, and to keep all your deck chairs , seats, tables, etc, safe and locked up, and on those rainy days read a book or just chill.

And all for such a ridiculously low price, please ask us for details on pricing if you are a dealer. we are not public orientated,.

Sadly unlike most companies that sell directly to the end user and to dealers, we do not, we respect our customers (dealers) and their hard work, dedication, and we believe in local dealer networks, servicing the public.

The reason most companies and if you look about you will notice that only we do not display pricing, this is because we do not want to use our dealers to get the brand name out there, then undercut our hard working dealers and take the business ourselves, this is what we call in the business, the LLE ( Lithuanian, Latvian ,Estonian way!) Not good for business, and shows deceit on every level of business. But if you have no business ethics from the start, and money is your driving force, then what can you expect. which explains why we remain when others die and wither away.

The Kate Log Cabin is offered as all our BL range of quality tight grained Scots Pine cabins with normal quality windows and doors or our heavy duty log cabin windows and doors, that also can come painted or lacquered. Depends really what your customer wants and needs.

Quality Log Cabins at sensible pricing, please ask us for pricing, it will knock you off your feet, and also you will be asking your current supplier why they have been overcharging you for so long. Please ask Ash for our pricing at ash@logcabinslv.co.uk

Thank you very much for reading this.
