Timber Cabins & Garden Rooms in Sligo
Insulated Nordic timber cabins from €14,500 incl. VAT, with delivery, professional assembly and a 10-year structural warranty.
Sligo gets Atlantic weather but, unlike Mayo or Donegal, a good deal of the county sits behind hills that take the worst of it. The result is a genuine split: Strandhill, Enniscrone and the coast need exposed-site specification, while a garden in Sligo town or out towards Ballymote is a far more ordinary job.
The town has grown as a place to live and work remotely, and the surf coast supports a letting season that now runs well beyond summer. Both show up in what people ask us for: insulated garden offices on one side, year-round letting cabins on the other.

Delivery, access and ground conditions
Sligo is about 215 km from our Dublin yard, roughly two and a half hours by road. Transport and assembly are included in the price.
Coastal plots at Strandhill, Rosses Point and Enniscrone are exposed and salt-laden, with the fixing specification and shorter recoating cycle that implies.
Inland and behind the hills the conditions are far more sheltered than the coast suggests — worth saying, because people over-specify on the strength of the county's reputation.
Ground varies from free-draining limestone to bog within short distances. The base is decided by the site, not by the county.
Dune-side and beach-adjacent plots are often reached by narrow lanes and sit on sand. Both need settling before the delivery is scheduled.
What people in Sligo build
Letting cabins on the surf coast
Strandhill and Enniscrone now draw visitors well outside summer. A properly insulated cabin earns in shoulder season, subject to the short-term letting registration rules.
Garden offices in and around the town
Sligo has become a realistic base for remote work. Insulated 20–25 m² rooms inside the garden-structure exemption are the usual answer.
Family homes and auxiliary dwellings
Accommodation on family land, either as a 32–45 m² auxiliary dwelling under the exemption or as a larger home with planning permission.
Models we recommend in Sligo
Every price includes delivery to your Sligo site, assembly by our own crew and a 10-year structural warranty.
Planning permission in Sligo
The planning exemptions are national, not local. Since 27 July 2026 a back-garden structure such as a home office, studio, gym or store can be exempt from planning permission up to 30 m² (previously 25 m²), and a detached auxiliary dwelling of 32–45m² to the rear of the main house, connected to its services, can be exempt with 14 days’ notice to the council.
What does change locally is everything around the size limit: zoning, scenic and conservation designations, protected structures and the conditions on siting and remaining open space. That makes your local authority the only reliable answer for your specific site:
