The 543 is the compact entry point to the 500 series, matching the 340 and 443's 4m by 3m footprint but with a pitched roof and hexagonal felt shingles. The traditional roofline gives it a classic garden pavilion look, while the 44mm log walls and double glazing keep the same build specification as the contemporary studio models.
At the same price as the 340, the choice between them is an aesthetic one. The 543's pitched roof suits traditional garden settings and sheds rain more effectively in exposed or high wind positions. Two fixed R7 windows and a D6 door give a straightforward, symmetrical front elevation. For anyone building a summerhouse, hobby room, or garden retreat where the look of the building matters as much as the interior, the 543 is a strong alternative to the flat roofed studio equivalent.
We love that the same 12 square metre footprint and price delivers a completely different aesthetic. The pitched roof transforms the cabin's character without costing a penny more.
