Hi,
With baby no. 2 on the way we are in dire need of more space. We have been looking into getting a 'garden room' as I do some work from home and it would free up our spare room. I have been looking at various sites with log cabins and they are all pretty similar, with the drawback of having to get an electrician to put in plug points etc in. The plus side of the log cabin is that I think it looks really nice and if the blurb is to be believed they are not really high maintenance as one would think.
We visited a garden centre yesterday and came across a company doing steel sheds, but with a pvc cladding in timber effect. Their reception building was one of their own sheds and it looked really good inside and quite nice on the outside, but I'm just not sure about the external look in relation to the look of the log cabin. They do however put in the plug points and do timber cladding throughout the interior and have fascia and soffit on the outside. They are called steeltechsheds.ie (I am not affiliated with the company in any way but want to give the name in case anyone has used them).
My head is wrecked with it all. While initially it will be an office, it will also be used for storage and probably eventually a playroom so I want it to have good heat retention. One of the log cabin guys I was talking to said that the steel sheds are hot in the summer and freezing in the winter, but then he might have just been trying to sway us to the log cabin.
So if anyone has any iinput, positive or negative or any suggestions, I would love to hear them.
Thanks in advance.
