Insulated Log Cabin for Kittens!

Nicola from Charlbury needed a place to accommodate her cute kittens which would also fit in her garden. So the Nica insulated log cabin 5m by 5m was the perfect option, as it fitted into her garden perfectly. Nicola needed to have 3 rooms, so the layout of the cabin was modified accordingly.

We want to say a special thanks to Nicola for the pictures and the positive feedback about the insulated log cabin. (More)
