Any amendments to a standard building including glass, sizes is a bespoke building. Additional doors and windows can though be added. Doors and Windows cannot be changed.

Log Thicknesses:

If you are using the building for a garden office or occasional accommodation, all year around use 40 - 58mm logs are recommended. Log thicknesses below this are for leisure use such as a summerhouse or garden storage.
