Why a Showground Visit Is Worth Building Into Your Decision
Most people researching a log cabin end up comparing sizes and specifications on-screen for weeks before deciding anything. A showground visit tends to shortcut that: once you’ve stood inside a 3m x 4m cabin and a 4m x 5m one side by side, the “which size do I actually need” question usually answers itself in a way a floor plan can’t quite manage. The same goes for construction: reading about twin skin insulation is useful, but walking between an insulated and a non-insulated cabin makes the difference obvious within about thirty seconds.
That’s really the point of keeping the showground open and free to walk around: it’s built to move you from “browsing” to “I know what I want,” faster than scrolling the site alone will.
What’s On Display, by What You’re Actually Deciding Between
Rather than one long list, it’s more useful to think about the showground in terms of the decision you’re trying to make:
- Deciding on size and layout? The range on display runs from small garden sheds up to a substantial 4m x 12m cabin, so you can compare footprints at real scale against the space you have in mind. Browse the full range online first to shortlist a few sizes worth seeing in person.
- Deciding between a garden office and a general-purpose cabin? Several insulated garden offices are set up on-site, so you can get a feel for how a working space differs from a general hobby or storage cabin before committing to a spec.
- Considering a full residential garden annexe? The showground includes examples built to a residential specification, which is worth seeing in person given the higher insulation and build standard involved.
- Weighing up single skin vs twin skin? Both constructions are on display side by side, and our team can talk you through the U-values and where each makes sense for your intended use.
Getting the Most From Your Visit and What Happens Next
A visit works best when it leads somewhere, so it’s worth preparing a little before you come:
- Shortlist online first. A quick browse of the range before you arrive means you can go straight to the two or three cabins you’re actually weighing up, rather than starting from scratch on-site.
- Bring your garden measurements. Even rough dimensions let our team point you toward sizes that will genuinely fit, rather than ones that look right on a showground plot.
- Ask for a quote while you’re there, or straight after. Seeing a cabin in person is the research step; the useful next step is getting pricing and a realistic delivery/installation timeline for the specific one you liked, which our team can talk through on-site or afterwards via our contact page.
- Already own a cabin and visiting about a problem, not a purchase? If you’re weighing up whether an existing cabin is worth repairing, our team can talk it through at the showground, or you can go straight to our inspection service to get a proper assessment.

Address: The Log Cabin Showground, Handcross Road (B2110), Plummers Plain, Lower Beeding, Horsham, West Sussex, RH13 6NX, on the road between Lower Beeding and Handcross, roughly a mile from the Pease Pottage services on the A23. Satnav postcodes can place you around 400 metres east of the actual entrance, so it’s worth checking the route on a map rather than the postcode alone.

Send us pictures or a video of your proposed site over WhatsApp, including your name, postcode and email address, and we can talk you through suitable options, including a video call if that helps you visualise the building in place.

FAQs
Do I need to book an appointment to visit the showground?
No, you can walk in and around during normal opening hours without booking. If you want dedicated time to talk through a specific project in detail, calling ahead helps us prepare, but it isn’t required just to look around.
Can I get a quote while I’m at the showground?
Yes, our team on-site can talk through pricing and specifications for anything you see. It’s usually the most efficient way to go from “I like this one” to a firm quote.
Is the showground worth visiting if I already know which cabin I want?
Often, yes, even a confirmed choice benefits from seeing the actual wall thickness, door hardware and finish in person before you commit, and it’s a chance to ask our team any last questions about installation or timelines.
What if I can’t get to Horsham to visit in person?
You can send photos or video of your garden over WhatsApp, including a video call if useful, and our team can advise on suitable cabins without you needing to visit in person.
