Log Cabins

What Factors Should I Consider When Choosing a Cabin?

Buying the right Log Cabin is more than just choosing the one that looks the best. This building will play a pivotal role in the way you use your garden and your whole home - so it’s important to get it right. Our wide range of cabins means that we have a building to suit your garden. To make sure it’s perfect, we also have a number of ways to customise your cabin. This includes:

• The size of your log cabin.
• The wood treatment.
• The cladding thickness.
• Floor and roof options.
• Window glazing.
• Whether or not it is insulated.

While there are lots of options to choose from, each building is made to strict guidelines to ensure you’re getting a cabin you can rely on. All our timber is premium softwood, which provides great structural strength and durability. All of our log cladding is tongue and groove, which provides additional structural strength and a smooth exterior. Finally, we also supply a 10-year guarantee on all our log buildings - the ultimate peace of mind when you buy.

What Kinds of Log Cabin Are Available?

There are a huge range of cabins to pick from, with varying styles and features facilitating different purposes. A log cabin summerhouse, with large windows and an airy interior, is the perfect place to relax, while a cabin shed gives you a dedicated space for storage or to work on your craft!

Our smaller or corner designs allow you to make the most of the space you have available with their efficient yet hard-wearing designs. If you prioritise using your building throughout the year, we recommend choosing an insulated model. 

Size and Style Options

When looking for log cabins, you'll need to measure the site of your proposed cabin. Consider what you want to store or set up inside your garden building and mark out an area that seems suitable. When choosing a site, think about sunlight, boundaries, overhanging trees, and whether or not you will need planning permission for your cabin.

Try not to build at the bottom of a slope or on marshy or damp ground. Luckily for you, we offer log cabins in a range of sizes from the popular 3.5 x 2.5m all the way up to almost 6 x 5m models.

Getting a building that suits your taste is just as important. Our options for reverse apex and apex log cabins cater to those who want something a little more traditional. But we also offer pent log cabins with contemporary flat roofs and wide-opening double doors. These modern log cabins are fantastic for a newer aesthetic and offer great water runoff.

What Are the Benefits of Our Garden Log Cabins?

Space or Storage

If you need extra space, then a log cabin could be the answer. Thanks to the large, comfortable interior that is functional pretty much all-year-round, you can use your log cabin as spacious living extension, transform it into a hobby room for your crafts, or turn it into a dedicated workspace.

Or, if you want some extra storage, they’re the perfect solution for a lawnmower or boxes you’re keeping in the loft. Log cabin storage can go a long way to reorganising your life. And adding shelves can let it become an inspiring art studio or somewhere to create a reading nook.

All Kinds of Uses

From a garden office to a gym, or even a garden bar, the possibilities are endless. By insulating your building, you can get protection against wind and water ingress. The improved insulation, plus the padding offered by thicker cladding, can make a garden cabin them suitable for year-round use. So, whether it's for outdoor living or a new dining space, we have a dream cabin for you amongst our extensive range.

Affordable Prices

Above all else, we want everyone to be able to enjoy the space and utility of a bespoke log cabin. We offer a huge range of cheap cabins in all sizes and shapes, meaning you'll be able to find an affordable solution and low price for you.

What Cladding Options Are Available?

Our timber buildings utilise quality materials sourced from Europe. And they come in a variety of thicknesses. These include 19mm, 28mm, 44, and 66m thick cladding. So what does log thickness mean?

19mm is best suited for use during the warmer months. 28mm thickness will allow for further year-round use. Thicker cladding will help to insulate and regulate the temperature in your garden cabin.

44mm log cabin cladding will allow your garden building to be better still at dealing with harsh weather conditions. We also offer double-glazing options on our log cabins. Our guide on the best cladding thickness for log cabins can help you pick what's right for you.

How Can I Maintain My Log Cabin?

No matter what form of treatment you choose for your log cabin, you can be sure of long-lasting quality. That's why we can offer our BillyOh 10-year guarantee against rot, decay, and insect infestation on our log cabins. And, if you select pressure treatment, we ensure that protection will extend to 15 years.

Taking care of your structure is essential in ensuring its longevity. One of the most important ways of maintaining your building is by applying wood treatment. This could be oil-based, water-based, or solvent and spirit-based. Or it can be achieved through dip or pressure treatment. Treating the timber can also help protect against pests and rot. Each form of treatment has its own advantages and disadvantages.

For instance, oil-based treatments only need to be retouched every five years. This may sound convenient, however oil-based treatment is actually one of the least effective forms of treatment. Solvent and spirit-based treatments are some of the more effective methods of treatment and only need retouching every three years. Meanwhile, pressure treatment is able to go even deeper into the timber of your log house.
