Garden Cabins
SUSTAINABLE GARDEN CABINS
Greenway's eco-friendly bespoke garden cabins, studios and garden workshops are versatile in colour choice, size and configuration. With endless possibilities, every sustainable structure allows for full utilisation of your garden space. Each garden cabin can be customised to suit every need and individual desire!
Greenway installs SIP sustainable garden cabins across the South of England, providing clients with bespoke kits fabricated in a New Forest workshop, utilising specialist SIP manufacturing equipment and materials.
Our preferred partner, EcoLogic, has in-house design and manufacturing capabilities to deliver high-quality structures, from cabins and beach huts to detached homes and independent office buildings.
Delivery or collection is available on all services, and we offer a short lead time of just 4 – 6 weeks from the point of order.
What is Included?
Greenway aims to make life as simple as possible and supplies all the elements needed for construction:
- Design, manufacture and installation of your SIPs structure
- Sole and wall plates, timber fixing splines and joining timbers
- Structural engineer calculations and justifications (if required)
- Engineered Glulam timber beams, if required
- Caberdeck (22mm) moisture-resistant T&G flooring
- SIP floor cassette
- Windows and door apertures are pre-cut and structurally framed with timber
- Specialist SIPs screw fixings, adhesives and sealants
- Walls and roof wrapped with breather membrane to achieve weatherproofing
- Haulage and secure delivery to your build site
Recycled plastic pads offer another innovative solution, especially where the rocky ground makes digging difficult. Environmentally, the places can also be a great way to reduce your carbon impact.
What Are SIPs?
Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are high-performance residential and light commercial construction systems. The panels have an insulating, eco-friendly, construction-grade expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam core, and are sandwiched between two structural facings, typically constructed using strand boards (OSB).
Any SIPs build results in a solid, energy-efficient, and cost-effective structure.

SIPs are manufactured under factory-controlled conditions and fabricated to fit nearly any building design. Each composite panel is robust, lightweight and highly substantial – up to seven times stronger than a timber frame. SIPs are incredibly well insulated and airtight, resulting in a structure requiring less heat energy and providing better air quality for the user.
Why Choose Greenway Garden Cabins and SIPs Constructed Buildings?
The SIPs construction method offers many project benefits for architects, planners, developers and builders. Below are just some of the main advantages of having a Greenway SIP construction instead of opting for more traditional building methods.
- SIPs can be erected up to 60% faster than traditional construction methods.
- Unlike conventional construction methods, which rely on good weather, a SIP garden cabin installation continues regardless of debilitating weather conditions.
- The EPS core insulation is 98% air and just 2% recyclable plastic. All the core insulation is 100% recyclable and provides an incredible U-value of 0.19 per 178mm panel.
- A SIPs lightweight shell reduces the need for machinery and concrete production onsite, lowering your CO2 emission.
- The timber OSB and structural framework come from sustainable FSC-accredited sources.
- SIP structures are more attractive to future buyers and achieve a higher sale price due to higher-build quality and lower running costs than traditionally constructed garden cabins or outbuildings.
