What’s Included as Standard?
Every Backyard Cabin is designed to provide a genuine year-round garden room with a high-quality finish throughout, ready to use from day one.
Our standard cabin specification includes many of the features clients often expect to pay extra for elsewhere, helping provide a clearer understanding of exactly what is and isn’t included within the advertised price.
Included with Every Backyard Cabin
Premium Exterior
High-quality Thermowood cladding as standard, selected for its durability, stability, and premium appearance.
Unlike many garden room companies that only clad the front elevation, we clad all visible external sides wherever possible, helping ensure the cabin looks exceptional from every angle.
High-Quality Double Glazing
High-quality double-glazed aluminium doors and windows, with the option of sliding or bi-fold door systems depending on your preferred layout and cabin design.
Slimline matte black frames create a clean architectural appearance while maximising natural light throughout the space.
Secure Multi-Point Locking System
All main doors include secure multi-point locking systems designed to provide everyday security and peace of mind.
Fully Insulated SIPs Structure
All cabins are constructed using high-performance 97mm Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) throughout the walls, floor, and roof.
This creates a highly insulated, energy-efficient structure designed for year-round comfort.
Finished Interior
Internally, cabins are fully plasterboarded, plastered, and painted in matte white, with matching skirting boards fitted throughout.
The result is a bright, clean, finished space designed to feel more comparable to a modern room extension than a traditional garden building.
Flooring
Premium LVT flooring is included as standard, providing a durable, low-maintenance, hard-wearing finish ready for everyday use from day one.
Designed to combine the appearance of natural flooring with the practicality needed for everyday garden room use.
Heating
A WiFi-controlled electric radiator is included as standard, allowing you to remotely manage the temperature and maintain a comfortable environment throughout the year.
Combined with the insulated SIPs structure, this helps create an efficient and comfortable year-round space.
Electrical Package
Each cabin includes concealed internal cabling, internal and external lighting, multiple double plug sockets, and a dedicated consumer unit.
All first-fix electrical work is completed during installation, ready for final connection to your property by a qualified electrician.
Lighting
Low-profile, fire-rated LED downlights illuminate both the interior and porch areas of the cabin, creating a clean and contemporary finish.
Separate switching allows the internal and external lighting to be controlled independently for added flexibility and convenience.
Waterproofing & Weather Protection
The external structure of each cabin is protected using a high-performance breathable membrane system designed to help prevent moisture ingress while allowing the building to breathe.
Combined with durable EPDM rubber roofing, this creates a highly weather-resistant structure built for long-term performance.
Professional Installation
Your cabin is professionally installed on-site by our experienced team with a strong focus on precision, finish quality, and attention to detail.
You’ll deal directly with the same small team throughout the project, from quotation through to installation.
Many of our standard models can be installed within approximately 10–15 working days once foundations are prepared.
Waste Removal
All installation waste is removed and responsibly disposed of by our team, leaving your garden clean, tidy, and ready to enjoy.
Planning-Friendly Design
Our standard cabin range is designed under 2.5m in height to fall within most permitted development guidelines, meaning planning permission is often not required.
10-Year Structural Warranty
Every Backyard Cabin includes a 10-year structural warranty, giving you long-term confidence in the quality, materials, and workmanship of your garden room.

Built by a Small Team That Cares
Backyard Cabins is a small, hands-on business built around quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail.
From first enquiry through to installation, you’ll deal directly with Nick and Matthew, the same people involved in designing, building, and delivering your cabin.
Unlike larger factory-led garden room companies, we don’t outsource installations to third-party fitting teams or mass-produce cabins as quickly as possible. Every project is carefully built on-site with a strong focus on finish quality, long-term durability, and creating a space that genuinely enhances your home.
We believe a garden room should feel considered, personal, and built to last rather than simply assembled as quickly as possible.
