14’x14′ Persian | 28mm Log Cabin Review

When it comes to log cabins, the 14’x14′ Persian | 28mm Log Cabin by Tiger Sheds stands out in both design and functionality. In this review, we’ll delve into its construction, materials, and overall market position, giving you a comprehensive insight into whether this log cabin is the right fit for you.

Design and Structure

The 14’x14′ Persian log cabin boasts an apex style roof, which not only enhances its appearance but also contributes to effective water drainage, thus prolonging the lifespan of the structure. One of the key highlights is its double door design, featuring a reliable 3 lever lock system that ensures security while providing easy access. This feature is particularly important for those considering this cabin as a garden office or hobby space.

Material Quality

The cabin is crafted from European softwood and features interlocking log cladding, a choice supported by market analysis, indicating that this cladding method is utilised by 98% of top-performing log cabins in the market. Such cladding ensures durability, excellent insulation, and a rustic aesthetic that many buyers appreciate.

The walls are 28mm thick, which is an optimal thickness found in 32% of similar log cabins, assuring you of better durability and insulation in various weather conditions. However, the cabin comes with untreated wood, which means it will require protective treatment after installation to protect against moisture and pests.

Roofing and Flooring

The roofing system is built using a tongue and groove construction, which is the highest-rated design for log cabins. This method is not only reliable but is used in 100% of the top 10% of log cabins we’ve analysed. The roof boards are also 19mm thick, rated as one of the best thicknesses for roofing, ensuring protection against various elements.

For the flooring, the same tongue and groove method is applied, and the 19mm thick floorboards are found in 39% of similar log cabins, indicating a solid choice for durability and comfort. Additionally, these features collectively contribute to a great overall foundation for the cabin.

Windows and Natural Light

As for illumination, this log cabin features one window constructed with 3mm horticultural glass. While this glazing option is fairly standard, it adheres to average market ratings and provides decent light entrance. However, it’s worth noting that the window size is slightly below average, being 21% smaller than comparable products, which could limit natural light exposure slightly compared to larger windows.

The ease of construction received a 5 out of 5, making this an excellent DIY project for the enthusiastic builder.

When evaluating the value for money, scoring 4.5 out of 5, this log cabin is priced competitively at £4,273.79. It’s worth noting that it is priced about £5 less than average for similar specifications in the market, but offers a superior scoring profile, indicating a strong value proposition.

Position in Market

Currently, the 14’x14′ Persian | 28mm Log Cabin occupies the 455th position out of 910 log cabins reviewed, illustrating solid market presence but indicating it has potential for improvement, considering its movement down 367 places compared to others in its category.
