Glulam Apex Timber Lodge 6.9×5.0 is a bespoke timber building with a 29.8m² internal floor area, manufactured in 88mm glue-laminated timber wall construction with a apex (gable) roof. The building footprint is 6.9m x 5.0m metres and is specified for year-round residential, guest, or commercial use. Eurodita produces this design as a flat-pack kit for trade buyers, including resellers, developers, and holiday park operators across the UK and EU. The kit ships with numbered components, assembly drawings, structural calculations where required, and FSC chain of custody documentation. Private-label manufacturing is available on this specification.
Design Overview
Custom-manufactured to exact specifications, the Glulam Apex Timber Lodge 6.9×5.0 provides 29.8m² of usable floor area across overall dimensions of 6.9m x 5.0m. Internal dimensions of 6.5m x 4.6m are enclosed by 88mm glue-laminated timber walls rising to a sidewall height of 2470mm, with the apex (gable) roof reaching 3250mm at the ridge. The design incorporates 2 windows and 3 doors, positioned to the client’s layout brief, with the apex (gable) roof spanning 42.8m² above 40x60mm floor bearers. Every component of this log cabin is produced to the specified dimensions, ensuring the finished structure meets the exact requirements of the end client. This is not a catalogue product. It is a bespoke building manufactured to a single project specification.
Why This Configuration
The apex (gable) roof provides balanced aesthetics with symmetrical slopes meeting at a central ridge, creating a classic silhouette that integrates well with residential surroundings. At just 13.0°, the low-profile roof minimises visual impact, an advantage where planning height limits apply.
At 88mm, the wall thickness meets the thresholds commonly required for year-round habitable structures, supporting insulation upgrades and Building Regulations compliance where needed.
The 2 windows are positioned to balance natural light with wall space for furnishing flexibility. The 3 doors provide multiple entry points, improving circulation and supporting flexible room layouts.
The near-square 6.9m x 5.0m floor plate maximises usable area relative to external wall length, an efficient geometry that minimises material use and thermal loss.
Materials & Construction
The 88mm glue-laminated (glulam) wall profiles used in this design are engineered for dimensional stability. Unlike conventional sawn timber, glulam undergoes kiln-drying and cross-grain lamination that virtually eliminates warping, twisting, and settlement over time. Each profile is precision-milled to tight tolerances, ensuring clean airtight joints across every wall section. This engineered approach delivers consistent thermal performance and a refined, contemporary finish that solid log cannot match.
The floor system comprises 40x60mm pressure-treated bearers supporting 28mm tongue-and-groove floorboards. This combination provides a rigid, level deck capable of handling furnishing loads, underfloor insulation, and finished flooring overlays as required by the end user.
The roof structure is carried on 9 purlins of 88x260mm section, covered with 19mm boards to form a total roof area of 42.8m². The deck is supplied ready for the dealer’s choice of final covering. Common options include EPDM rubber membrane, bitumen shingles, or standing-seam metal, and Eurodita can advise on the right specification for the project.
At 88mm, the wall profile is significantly thicker than the industry-standard 44mm used in most flat-pack garden buildings. This provides measurably better thermal insulation, acoustic separation, and structural rigidity, making the building suitable for year-round habitation without additional insulation in temperate climates.
All timber is sourced from FSC-managed Nordic forests and kiln-dried to 16-18% moisture content before machining, ensuring dimensional accuracy and resistance to biological degradation on arrival.
Customisation Options
This Glulam Apex Timber Lodge 6.9×5.0 represents one configuration within an effectively unlimited design space. As a bespoke manufacturer, Eurodita builds every project to the dealer’s exact specification, with no minimum order and no fixed catalogue.
External dimensions can be adjusted freely. The current 6.9m x 5.0m footprint is not a constraint. Wall thickness can move up or down from 88mm across the full range (28mm to 220mm), and the wall profile can switch between solid log, glulam, or double-wall insulated construction.
The apex (gable) roof shown here can be changed to any supported type (apex, pent, or hip), and the pitch adjusted to suit local planning or aesthetic preferences. Sidewall height, ridge height, and overhang dimensions are all variable.
Window and door positions, sizes, types, and quantities are fully configurable. Glazing can be specified as standard double-glazed (45mm) or living-type (68mm) profiles, with optional painted finishes and crossbar detailing.
Internal partitions, electrical pre-wiring channels, additional insulation packages, and bespoke floor plans are available on request. Eurodita’s engineering team works directly with dealer partners to resolve any design requirement.
Private-Label Manufacturing
Eurodita operates a private-label manufacturing programme for trade clients who sell timber buildings under their own brand. The programme covers manufacturing drawings, parts lists, packaging labels, delivery notes, and assembly documentation issued under the buyer brand identity. Buyers can specify branded packaging at the unit level or at the pallet level depending on logistics. Product range under private-label includes the full bespoke catalogue and standard catalog buildings from 4 square metres to 120 square metres. The programme is structured per account, with documentation templates and brand-asset onboarding handled by our trade desk. Contact our team for a private-label proposal aligned to your distribution model and product range.
Ideal Use Cases
With 29.8m² of interior space, this design supports a broad range of applications: guest accommodation, Airbnb letting, granny annexe, home gym, or multi-room studio. The generous floor plate permits flexible partitioning to suit the end user’s needs, and dealers frequently position buildings of this scale as self-contained living spaces or income-generating rental units. The 6.9m x 5.0m footprint fits comfortably within most residential plots while providing enough room for a kitchenette, bathroom pod, or separate sleeping area.
The 88mm wall section supports insulation and services integration for fully habitable use throughout the year, meeting the expectations of buyers who require a permanent, all-season structure.
Delivery & Production
Every component of this 29.8m² building is manufactured under one roof at Eurodita’s facility in Lithuania, with orders typically dispatched within 4-8 weeks of confirmation. Delivery is flat-packed on standard road-freight pallets. All 88mm wall sections, roof purlins, 28mm floor panels, pre-fitted windows, doors, and fasteners are included as a complete kit with numbered components and illustrated assembly instructions. Eurodita coordinates transport across Europe and the UK through long-standing haulage partners, delivering to dealer depots, construction sites, or end-client addresses.
