To complete your new cabin, you will require a suitable base for installation, roof covering, and paint or varnish to weatherproof your natural timber building. Please choose from the options below to configure your cabin.


    Roof Covering

    Your new building needs protection from the elements. If you're not sourcing your own roof covering materials, take a look at what we can offer.

    Roof Covering - Choose Your Shingles

    Our roof shingles come in two different styles. Choose from a contemporary rectangular shingle, or a traditional hexagonal shape. Both styles are available in three different colours to perfectly complement your chosen paint finish.


    Eco-Friendly Grid Base

    Our environmentally friendly interlocking grid base is made from recycled plastic and is the strongest plastic grid system on the market - perfect for all our timber buildings. Filled with pea shingle, it's lightweight, easy to install and helps drain water away from the base of your new timber cabin.  Add railway sleepers for a stylish finish and to retain the shingle on sloped sites.


    Insulation Kit Options for Roof and Floor

Description

Our Large Reading Room is a Shepherd’s Hut with a twist – no wheels! Sitting closer to the ground than our Modern Shepherd’s Hut, but maintaining the same cosy and inviting interior with its curved roof, this is the perfect literary nook to hunker down with a good book while the world passes you by.  The Large Reading Room is perfect for use as a relaxing retreat, overnight accommodation, home office or creative studio — bringing a unique focal point to any garden or outdoor setting.

Crafted from durable timber and designed for year-round use, the Reading Room offers both practicality and aesthetic appeal. Its classic curved roofline and compact proportions create a warm, comfortable interior, while full-height windows and a glazed double door natural light and fresh air to flow through the space.  With options for insulation and interior finishing, it can be tailored to suit your exact needs — whether you’re creating a peaceful escape in your garden or a distinctive space for guests or clients. The result is a versatile, characterful building that delivers both style and performance in equal measure.

Our Reading Room is available in two sizes – Small and Large. And if you’d prefer the Shepherd’s Hut option, we have these in Modern and Traditional flavours as well.
