We have a fully fitted out OSCAR20 display cabin in Mullumbimby! Please get in touch if you would like to drop in and have a look.
The OSCAR 20 Timber Garden Shed has a size of just under 20sqm which means that you will not need Council approval for erecting one of these in your backyard if you are located in NSW.
How about an artist's studio? A teenagers break-out room? A LEGO cave? Or the workshop you always wanted....
Your flat-pack cabin kit comes with everything you need to guarantee the authentic log cabin look inside and out. Just get a few bits locally such as the roof and floor and you are off and running!
Made in the Baltic States in Europe, but readily available right here in Oz!
We have the OSCAR 20 in stock ready to go!
You can even add one or more windows to the one window that already comes with it.
We are with you every step of the way - from when you first get in touch with us to the moment we hand you your keys.
We take into account your personal circumstances, listen to your design wishes and work with your site conditions. We love what we do!
We live and breathe log cabins all day, so for whatever might come up we think we have a solution.
Here you will find answers to the most commonly asked questions about the OSCAR 20
The term "Garden Shed" really does not do our beautiful timber log cabin any justice. Our surprisingly affordable OSCAR 20 and its smaller brother SAM10 will add incredible value, lifestyle and WOW factor to your home. Already during the construction you will be the envy of your neighbors - there is something mystical about building a she-shed or man-cave in solid timber logs. They are simply in a league of their own, in every aspect.
The OSCAR20 cabin comes in industry leading full 50mm thick solid timber logs - this enables us to supply your cabin kit set with hidden 20mm electrical holes pre drilled through the centre of the logs. There are 8 of these evenly spaced out all around the cabin enabling you to run power points, switches and lights where you want them - without ugly plastic surface conduits showing on your cabin walls!
European made log cabin garden sheds are often supplied with basic bitumen roofing. While this is ok to use on basic models like our GRETTEL10 we are offering Australian made COLORBOND metal sheet roofing for all our residential grade "garden sheds" in the colour of your choice.
You also always get roof insulation with a minimum rating of R1.3 and super strong metal "top hat" battens.
Whilst double glazed windows are the norm in Europe, they are still a rarity in Oz. All our windows are double glazed.
BUT - also very important is the locking hardware that comes with your cabin window(s).
The OSCAR20 cabin comes with true "Tilt'n'Turn" opening windows operated by the main window handle only, in one smooth motion. (Rather than via clumsy three-step individually adjustable fittings).
All our main entry doors come with double glazed glass panels, rubber seals and three fully adjustable hinges to guarantee a perfect fit.
BUT - again very important is the locking hardware that comes with your cabin door.
We only supply heavy duty European made locking mechanisms made for entry doors (rather than using cheaper internal door locks).
Your flat-pack cabin kit comes with everything you need to guarantee the authentic log cabin look inside and out.
Please find below a couple of drawings that you might find helpful. What you see is exactly what you get with your OSCAR 20 cabin kit.
There are only two items that you need to source locally - the foundation and the corrugated iron roofing. If you decide to build your OSCAR 20 yourself, we will supply you with detailed instructions and a materials list so you are off to a flying start - OR you can get us to supply everything, we are here to help!
The OSCAR 20 has a footprint of under 20sqm (max. size in NSW). Being square the window can be placed in either the left or the right side wall or even the rear gable wall - you choose! AND you can order additional windows!
The OSCAR 20 is very strongly built, and the solid 50mm thick timber logs allow you to easily fit out the inside with whatever you desire.
We think that building your own log cabin is the second most exciting thing you can do in your leisure time.... it can easily be done by any handyman, following the instructions supplied. And of course we are with you every step of the way!
If your site is in NSW than the OSCAR 20 can be erected without the need of obtaining Council approvals. There are of course still some basic rules that apply such as keeping 1-meter away from any fence, prepare a good solid suitable foundation and follow the instructions supplied.
In most cases quicker actually! We endeavor to never run out of the OSCAR 20 - flat packed pallets are in our warehouse ready to go.
If "swinging the hammer" just isn't your thing - why not leave it all up to us? We will have your new OSCAR 20 up and ready in a few days. Your only challenge left is to decide on the fit out, and to think of a clever name for your shed!

Anywhere from Southern Brisbane to Ballina. Ideal for any site including sloping sites, flood areas and similar terrains. We do the lot - including the foundations!
We are with you every step of the way - from when you first get in touch with us to the moment we hand you your keys. We take into account your personal circumstances, listen to your design wishes and work with your site conditions. So get in touch with us today, we are ready and able.
Concrete base / steel base / pavers? Ideally your OSCAR20 should be placed on a steel base, which raises your log cabin off the ground and is ideal for sloping sites. Log Cabins can also be placed on pavers, or on a concrete slab.
Really the best way to start... We are more than happy to meet you on your building site. This will not only establish the type of foundation needed, but also help to decide the orientation of your cabin, the position on your land and the like.
Then we give our calculators a work-out. Armed with all the info from the site inspection, we go through all costings and provide you with a final quote. Once you are happy and give us the go-ahead we will immedately start organising the construction of your new OSCAR 20 in the shortest possible time frame.
A flurry of activity. From the moment we start working on your project there will be activity on your site. We might need storage at your site out of the elements, for both the cabin and other materials and tools, and we will need access for our vehicles and to your beer fridge (just kidding!).
That's the fun part for you! The moment we hand you the keys you are ready to move in and fit out your new OSCAR 20 log cabin. AND - don't forget to think of a nifty name for your shed - we will install a timber sign for you at the main entrance.
Of course you want to maintain the beauty of your now garden log cabin. We offer an annual maintenance program that will ensure that your cabin will look it's best at all times. It's quite simple really, we get in touch with you every 12 months or so and book an inspection with you. We advise if anything needs to get done, and provide you with a quote for the works. So you have total peace of mind. And in case you have any concerns in between service calls just give us a ring.
Frequently asked questions...
YES - anyone with basic handyman skills can do this, it really isn't complicated. You will receive detailed instructions and we are always available for advice.
We always aim to have this model in stock, ready-to-go from our warehouses in QLD and NSW. It will always take a few days to get the cabin to you depending on your location, but that's ok - you can use the time to prepare the fondations and get other materials on site.
You will only need to do this when you buy your OSCAR 20 as a flat pack kit - if you opt for the "fully installed" version we will take care of this. Some items that would normally come with your cabin kit cost considerably more when being imported from Europe than when sourced locally. It makes no sense i.e. to buy corrugated iron overseas at about three times the price of locally produced roofing - so we took these items out and reduced the price of your OSCAR 20 accordingly.
This very much depends on your site conditions, and on your budget. The best foundation is a concrete slab, though this will add to your build costs. Placing your OSCAR 20 on a steel base is the next best thing, or simply place it on pavers - let's chat!
Good question - they are pesty little critters! But they can be stopped. We recommend to treat the first 5 layers of logs with a suitable pest treatment, either oil or water based. We will help you with this step, too!
There are vast pine plantations in the Baltic States of Europe. These were planted in the 80s when Russia was still in control. The Baltic States gained their independance in the early 90s and joined the European Union. Over the past 30+ years millions of Baltic Pine (also called "Scots Pine") trees have matured and are now being harvested and used in the construction of our cabins. Guess where IKEA gets their timber from? Some of the timber used is also imported from Finland.
