Living Outside Ltd
What customers say
BBQ huts and log cabins form the core of what Living Outside Ltd is known for among customers in the Wimborne and Bournemouth area. Reviewers often mention Ian, who guides customers through the selection process, often visiting gardens personally to carry out a survey before recommending a suitable building. Several accounts describe the showroom on Poole Road as a useful starting point, where visitors can view a show lodge and discuss bespoke sizing before placing an order. The installation stage draws consistent praise, with the team from The Urban Sawmill credited for efficient, tidy and professional construction, often completed within days once materials arrive. Customers note that Ian keeps them informed throughout the process, from initial consultation to final handover, and several mention feeling confident in the quality and durability of the finished cabin or hut, with one noting theirs has remained in good condition for nearly two years. Charlie and the wider team also receive mentions for contributing to a positive overall experience. The business operates Monday to Friday from 10am to 4pm and Saturday mornings until half past one, giving prospective customers several options to visit the Wimborne Minster premises and discuss a project in person before committing to an order.

Polite and efficient. They kept me informed of every step. Very pleased with end product. Well done
Ian was friendly, professional and very knowledgably. I highly recommend Living Outside and would use them again in a heartbeat.
We were recently looking for a BBQ lodge.Researching on the internet, we went to Wimborne to the show site / premises of Outdoor Living. We met Ian - one of the partners and he showed us around the show Lodge. Ian answered our questions - very professionally and friendly. We were very impressed with the quality of the Lodges. The Lodge suited us down to the ground and we decided to order one. Ian kept us fully up to date with progress and within a couple of weeks Steve arrived at our house to build the base. I was very impressed with the quality of his work - the base was solid and the wood of top quality. Next day, the Lodge arrived. So many individual pieces of wood - luckily Steve and his colleague Toby were soon fixing the parts together. They worked methodically and it soon became obvious that they both took pride in their work and their attention to detail was impressive.The Lodge had been painted in the factory - we were even supplied with two small tins of paint in case any touching up was needed ( it wasn’t ! ). Once the Lodge had been finished, Steve did a handover and even explained how to adjust the door in case it was necessary in the future. We are over the moon with our new Lodge. We obviously made the right decision to order from Outside Living. We have no connection with the Company - only as very satisfied customers.
Visited Living Outside Wimborne, to view a BBQ Hut. Spoke to Ian who then offered to come to our home to do a survey of our garden that week. After a consultation decided to go ahead and order one. The hut arrived within the time frame Ian said, we then arranged for a construction date. The guys turned up promptly, we’re incredibly informative, friendly clean and tidy. It took three days to build, is totally amazing and we love it. Can’t rate this company highly enough. Many thanks to all concerned.
Having visited all of the local suppliers of such buildings this company gave me the greatest confidence in their ability to deliver the best quality and service. They helped me choose the best cabin for me with their knowledgeable and professional advice. Even offering custom solutions to better suit my requirements. The delivery and installation was handled very efficiently. The cabin has been in situ now for almost 2 years and I could not be happier with it. The after sales service is excellent and I have total confidence in the warranty offered. I could not recommend this company or its products high enough
10 out of 10. The build quality the price just everything was perfect. Would of been nice to have updates once every few weeks even just to say no update but once a date was confirmed it was built on the day amazing!
Very professional, friendly company. Kept us informed and updated of the progress of our cabin. Delivered one day and completed within 6 hours the next. Extremely pleased with the results. Very sturdy and well finished. Can't wait to use it now!
