Duratuf Oxford Lifestyle Cabin

Customise Your Oxford Lifestyle Cabin

The Duratuf Oxford Lifestyle Cabin is designed to be configured to your site, climate, and intended use. With its full timber frame and broad range of joinery and cladding options, you can set it up as a bright, practical workspace or a secure storage hub.

• Decide whether to use the standard ranch slider options or supply your own joinery (such as ranch sliders, French doors, or doors with windows) to fit the framed opening of 2035mm high x 2390mm wide, with liner to suit your chosen interior lining.
• Select from multiple fixed and opening aluminium window options in single or double glazing to achieve the balance of natural light and ventilation you want.
• Choose from a wide palette of cladding and flashing colours to coordinate the cabin with your home or other buildings on the property.
• Opt for clear roof panels to bring additional daylight into the interior.
• Add a pedestrian access door for convenient everyday entry separate from the main ranch slider opening.
• Increase wall height (390mm extra, price on application) if you require more vertical space for racking, tall machinery, or future fit‑out.
• Use the robust timber framing to fix tool hooks, shelving, or ply linings where you need them once installed.

These sheds are designed to be DIY projects, however we also offer a full install service at fixed prices should you prefer someone else to do this for you. Typically a shed of this size would take one of the installers we use one day. See shed options for pricing.
