Abinger Hammer

Stunning Garden Cabin in Abinger Hammer in the Surrey Hills.

This idyllic cabin was built in the beautiful Surrey Hills area near Peaslake between Gomshall and Ranmore Common.
As it was built on a slope we had a bit of ground work to do first before we laid the concrete base.
The cabin measures 4 meters x 7 meters and as it is 4 meters high and more than 2 meters from the boundary it did not have to go through planning permission as it falls under Permitted Development.

This is the first cabin we have built that has a log burner installed to add to the cozyness and charm.

A few videos of the groundwork

The concrete lorry was more than 80 meters from the base so we had to get it pumped to save waling hundreds of wheelbarrows full of wet concrete up the hill. The video shows how they clean the pipes out, the send a ball down the pipes under extreme pressure from clean water that follows.

This is Steve (our digger driver) who had the hard job of digging out the base for the concrete base, digging a trench all the way back to the house for the electric cable and water pipe.
This video shows him digging out for the gully drain to get rid of the rain water off the patio.
