Palmako UK: prefabricated timber garden buildings from Nordic spruce

Palmako UK is the British branch of the Palmako timber-building operation, established in the United Kingdom in 2011. The company distributes prefabricated garden structures made from dense Nordic spruce, which it describes as sustainably sourced, and ships them as DIY kits from a warehouse in the UK. Its catalogue covers garden rooms, log cabins, outdoor saunas, hot tubs and cold plunges, summer houses, gazebos and pavilions, greenhouses, conservatories, barbecue huts, garages and carports, sheds, kiosks and playhouses.

The wider Palmako business states that it has been supplying garden timber products since 1997 and that it has distributed more than half a million cabins to customers across Europe. The UK operation presents itself as having delivered thousands of products directly from its British warehouse.

Garden rooms and log cabins by size, roof and wall thickness

The garden room range is organised by practical criteria rather than by model alone. Buyers can filter by size, with categories for units under 10 square metres, between 10 and 20 square metres, and over 20 square metres. Roof shapes include flat, apex, pent and pyramid. There are also dedicated selections for factory-painted rooms, double-glazed rooms, rooms with sliding doors, rooms with a gazebo, insulated rooms, corner rooms and rooms fitted with aluminium doors and windows.

Log cabins follow a similar structure: small, medium and large formats, models under 2.5 metres, multi-room layouts, corner designs, cabins with a side canopy and cabins with sliding doors. The range is further divided by wall thickness, with 28 mm, 34 mm, 44 mm, 56 mm and 70 mm options. A separate line, Connect, groups modular garden buildings that can combine an outdoor kitchen, pavilion, sunroom and summerhouse in a single structure.

Saunas, tubs and outdoor wellness structures

Beyond living and storage buildings, the catalogue includes outdoor saunas in modern, barrel and Thermowood versions, alongside hot tubs and cold plunges. These products sit within the same prefabricated kit format as the cabins. The company's blog addresses related topics such as combining sauna and cold plunge sessions, cold plunge timing, sauna routines, temperature ranges and maintenance.

Summer houses, pavilions and garden extras

The summer house selection mirrors the cabin range, with models under 2.5 metres, versions with a gazebo or sliding doors, and corner layouts. Under the pavilions heading the company lists gazebos, greenhouses, conservatories and barbecue huts. Garages and carports, timber sheds, kiosks and playhouses complete the offer, together with garden offices, garden studios, garden pods, outdoor kitchens and garden bars.

Delivery, consultation and assembly support

Palmako UK advertises free delivery to mainland UK with crane offloading, and offers a free consultation service along with assembly and sales assistance. A selection of cabins is flagged for express delivery, subject to limited stock, and a clearance section presents discounts of up to 40% on remaining stock. The site also lists Nordic Tiny House kits intended for year-round use.

Product pages show indicative starting prices, for example £9,490 for the Andrea XL garden room with sliding doors (9x3 m, 44 mm), £7,750 for the Andrea L, £6,250 for the Lisa L pent-roof summer house and the Andrea S corner model, £5,750 for the Amanda S, £4,750 for the Andrea XS, £3,490 for the Melanie XS heavy-duty corner summer house and £2,990 for the Melanie S summer house and the Veronica 4 octagonal model. Several cabins are offered untreated, with clear dip treatment or in factory-painted finishes such as light grey RAL7042 with anthracite RAL7016, or grey RAL7012 with anthracite RAL7016. Sliding door options distinguish standard single-glazed doors from premium double-glazed doors with a thicker frame.
