In-Depth Review of the Mercia 5m x 3m Corner Log Cabin 28mm

If you’re looking for a versatile outdoor space, the Mercia 5m x 3m Corner Log Cabin 28mm is an excellent choice worth considering. Renowned for its quality and functionality, this log cabin blends seamlessly into your garden, serving as a workshop, home office, or even a leisure space to unwind and entertain.

Key Features

The Mercia Corner Log Cabin comes equipped with a range of features that cater to both practicality and aesthetic appeal:

  • Apex Roof: The attractive apex roof not only enhances the visual appeal but also helps with rain runoff, reducing the probability of water pooling on your cabin.
  • Double Doors: Equipped with a sash lock for enhanced security, the double doors provide generous access and a welcoming entry point to your space.
  • Four Windows: The presence of double-glazed windows ensures excellent insulation, while allowing natural light to fill the space, making it feel bright and airy.
  • Treated Materials: The cabin’s cladding boasts interlocking boards treated for durability, which means you can expect it to stand the test of time against the elements.

Specifications and Dimensions

With dimensions of 5m x 3m (16′ x 9′), the log cabin offers a spacious interior. Here are some additional technical details:

  • Base Material: FSC certified timber ensures responsible sourcing.
  • Floor Material: Tongue & groove floor construction rated highly for stability and performance.
  • Wall Thickness: 28mm cladding provides excellent insulation and structural integrity.
  • Floor Thickness: 16mm, considered one of the best options for cabins in this category.
  • Weight: 709 kg indicative of solid construction.

Our experts rated this log cabin highly across various categories:

What Experts Say

Experts appreciate the Mercia Corner Log Cabin for what it offers in terms of durability and utility. Its design incorporates several features that align with what we typically find highly rated among log cabins:

  • Tongue & Groove Flooring: A mark of quality in 94% of top log cabins, its presence here ensures a robust foundation.

Market Position

After comparing among 123 similar sized log cabins, the Mercia 5m x 3m Corner Log Cabin holds a respectable position in the market. With an expert score of 85, it sits just 2% lower than the average for this category. Its pricing—£5,505—positions it competitively, being £14 less than the average of similar products.

Considerations

While there is much to appreciate about this log cabin, you might want to consider your specific needs:

  • Assembly Required: This product is meant for self-assembly, so if you prefer a ready-to-use cabin, be prepared to invest some time and effort.
  • Location Suitability: Its features rank well for standard outdoor placement, but if you live in a particularly exposed or high-wind area, you may wish to consider models with thicker cladding.
