Fully Installed Palmako Claudia XL Clockhouse Log Cabin | Garden Room | Home Office — Professionally Installed Across Mainland UK

The Palmako Claudia XL is one of the most architecturally distinctive log cabins in the Palmako range — a beautifully crafted, 19.4m² clockhouse-style log cabin with a signature roof dormer, 44mm Nordic spruce walls, and eight double-glazed windows that flood the interior with natural light from every angle.

Whether you are looking for a premium garden room, a home office log cabin, an art studio, a games room, a music rehearsal space, or simply the finest year-round garden building available — the Claudia XL delivers on every level. Its generous 5.5m x 4.0m footprint and 222cm wall height create an interior that feels genuinely spacious and comfortable in all seasons.

The price shown includes the full supply and professional installation of your Palmako Claudia XL anywhere on Mainland UK, including foundation preparation and installation and timber treatment with Smart Seal. There are no hidden costs, no separate groundworks quotes, and no surprises. What you see is what you pay.

A Garden Room That Makes a Statement

The clockhouse design is what sets the Claudia XL apart from every other log cabin on the market. That distinctive roof dormer — a raised central section of the roofline — gives the building an architectural presence that is closer to a well-designed outbuilding than a garden cabin. Inside, eight 70cm x 121cm double-glazed windows wrap around the building, creating a bright, airy interior that feels connected to the garden at all times. The 44mm Nordic spruce walls provide excellent insulation and thermal mass, keeping the interior warm in winter and cool in summer.

Roofing Upgrades

We will not install standard shed felt on any building we are responsible for. For the apex roof of the Claudia XL, we strongly recommend upgrading to Britmet composite slate tiles or natural slate. Please contact us to discuss roofing upgrade options and pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need planning permission for the Palmako Claudia XL?

In most cases, no. The Claudia XL at 5.5m x 4.0m and 363cm overall height will fall within Permitted Development rights for most residential properties in England and Wales, provided it is used as an ancillary garden building, is sited within the curtilage of a dwelling house, is not forward of the principal elevation, and does not cover more than 50% of the garden area. However, at 363cm height, the Claudia XL exceeds the 300cm eaves height threshold that applies to buildings within 2 metres of a boundary — so siting will be important. Listed buildings, conservation areas, and National Parks have different rules. We always recommend confirming with your local planning authority before ordering.

Does the price include everything — foundations and timber treatment?

Yes. Foundation preparation and installation and Smart Seal timber treatment are both included. Roofing upgrades (Britmet composite slate or natural slate) are available at an additional cost — please contact us to discuss. No hidden costs, no separate groundworks quotes.

What type of foundation does the Claudia XL need?

We assess each site individually and install the most appropriate foundation as part of the price. For most residential gardens, this will be ground screws or composite pads. Where ground conditions require it, we can install a concrete slab. We will advise you on the best option during the pre-installation survey.

What extra protection do you install at foundation level?

On every installation, we fit a composite damp-proof strip along the base of the foundation beneath all pressure-treated timber. We lay a ground membrane beneath the entire building to manage moisture and suppress weed growth. And we install anti-insect and rodent mesh to prevent ingress beneath the floor — a detail that most garden building installers simply do not include. We do everything we possibly can to make every structure we install last as long as possible.

What roofing do you install on the Claudia XL?

We will never install standard shed felt on any building we are responsible for. We strongly recommend upgrading to Britmet composite slate tiles for a premium, long-lasting finish that suits the architectural character of this building. Natural slate is also available. Please contact us to discuss options and pricing.

How long does installation take?

The Claudia XL is typically installed in one to two days, depending on site conditions and foundation type. We will confirm the installation schedule with you in advance.

What is Smart Seal and how long does it last?

Smart Seal is a clear, penetrating timber sealant applied to all external timber as part of the installation. It provides up to 10 years of protection. After 10 years, a single re-application coat is all that is needed.

Can I use the Claudia XL as a year-round garden room or home office?

Yes. The 44mm Nordic spruce walls provide good thermal mass and the double-glazed windows and door minimise heat loss. For year-round comfort in all weathers, we recommend adding internal insulation boards and a suitable heating source — we can advise on options as part of the installation. Please contact us to discuss.

Can I add electricity or heating?

Yes. Please contact us before placing your order to discuss your requirements.

How long does delivery take after ordering?

Typically 4 to 8 weeks from order confirmation. Please contact us if you have a specific deadline.

Do you install across the whole of the UK?

We install across Mainland UK. Island locations and certain remote areas of Scotland may be subject to additional logistics costs — please contact us before ordering.
