I want a garden space for hobby projects, approx 3.5m x 3.5m, double doors that open onto the garden and opening double glazed windows.

We can probably manage the base ourselves and build a kit.

Who do you recommend?

We got a log cabin from Tuin about 2 years ago. It's a bit bigger than the one you're looking for, with a separate storage area to one side. We paid extra for roof and floor insulation. We used a kind of stilt system for the base rather than a concrete base as it was quicker, cheaper and easier. Also makes sure there's good air flow underneath to prevent any deterioration of the base.

We've been really happy with it. We recently used it over the entire winter to store a load of furniture, including a couple of sofas, and it all came out perfectly. No mold or mildew and it always smelled really fresh and dry in there. I can imagine if it had an electrical supply, heater etc, that it would be totally usable the year round. It's also kept cooler than the house in the recent hot weather.

Would recommend.

Dunster House, it’s really good quality and they have good reviews (and regular sales). We looked at a cheaper one but the reviews were awful, confirmed by the guys who put it up for us, they do a lot of these.

Second Dunster House we bought one with opening out double doors and an opening window last year. Comes with lots of potential add ons like insulation , paint etc We wanted storage plus workshop space and it’s just what we wanted. Only been 1 winter but extreme weather ( we are in Scotland) and it’s dry as a bone. Me and DH build it ourselves getting the base to be properly square is the key and then the boards kind of slot in. Roof was trickier but sturdy enough to take DH’s weight while he was working on it. The hardest part was laying concrete for the large base needed as we did all that ourselves and taking the cement bags down a flight of stairs was hard going. DH has fully electrified it and we even used it during the winter.
Edited to say we bought from them as they were recommended by a friend)
