Garden Office Log Cabins
At Garden Buildings Direct, we know that a quality garden office has been on a lot of people's wishlist recently. And with a range of garden buildings to suit, you could have your very own outdoor home office in no time.
One of the most popular uses of a log cabin outdoor building is to turn it into a garden home office. Even a small log cabin can act as a separate room from your house where you can create a relaxing and productive environment.
Perfect for those who are self-employed or small business owners, by installing a log cabin in your garden, you can cut down on travel costs and office rentals. But you can also use your garden cabin as a games room, man cave, she shed, or summer house. By insulating your log cabin, you could even make use of it as a space for guests, or keep it cosy for year-round use. Whatever you use it for, a garden office log cabin can give you space to work and relax.
Log Cabin Sheds
Log cabin sheds can act as a welcome upgrade from smaller wooden sheds. With double-door designs, you can easily manoeuvre larger garden tools like lawnmowers as well as bikes. And, with options for single-glazed shatterproof SAN glass or double-glazed windows, you can keep your belongings safe and regulate your garden cabin's temperature.
Small Log Cabins
If you have a limited amount of garden space, but still want the clean modern aesthetic of a log cabin, why not opt for one of our smaller log cabins? Our smaller outdoor buildings come with the same guarantee of quality for all our pre-cut timber. Even a small log cabin can still be transformed into a cosy cabin for entertaining guests, watching TV, or simply taking a nap. Make your log cabin a personal space on your own terms.
Log Cabin Playhouses
And our BillyOh log cabins aren't just limited to adults. We also offer log cabins in a playhouse design. You can provide a place for your kids to run wild alongside their imaginations. Whether it's pretending to be a cowboy, princess, or the next Avenger, a log cabin playhouse can provide plenty of space for all kinds of play.
Our log cabin playhouses come in a range of beautifully crafted single and barn doors with options for traditional cottage-style windows, shutters, and flower boxes. In addition, some of our log cabin playhouses are available in two storeys. This means that children grow into their garden cabin with a playhouse that has their future in mind. With a raised platform for a bed, add some comfy chairs downstairs to make a pretend kitchen and you may find they want to spend more time there than in the actual house!
By allowing children to play in a playhouse with planters you may even introduce them to a new love of gardening. Giving children responsibility and projects can help their development and learning. And you may even find they take an interest in the rest of the garden.
Log Cabin Summer Houses
BillyOh luxury log cabins are guaranteed to bring you joy. Designed to provide you with an outdoor garden space that is suitable for relaxing, entertaining, and even working from home, our log cabin summerhouse could be the answer to a home extension. With quality tongue and groove construction, you'll have a sturdy outdoor building that's manufactured to last.
Stylish Log Cabin Design
Pent Log Cabin
With options for apex and reverse apex log cabins, you can get that traditional style that perfectly complements a charming terrace or garden. These traditional log cabins with a classical design are great for any garden.
But we also offer pent roof log cabins with flat roofs and wide-opening double doors. These modern log cabins are fantastic for a newer aesthetic and offer great water runoff.
There are a number of ways you can transform a log cabin into something amazing. Many are conventional. However, there are some which may spark your imagination. One example is using a traditional log cabin as a crafts room. Even a small log cabin can provide you with enough space for a large table or even floor space to get creative.
If you prefer crafts and have fabrics waiting to be used, why not customise your log cabin with shelves and draws? Alternatively, why not convert your garden log cabin into a home cinema? With blackout blinds, a TV or projector, surround sound and a few comfy seats, you can transform your log cabin.
A log cabin home gym could even prove to be a cost-effective way of keeping fit. Or, if you're planning to have guests, you could convert your log cabin into a spare bedroom. A spare room in your log cabin room is perfect for extending the functionality of your house without needing an extension. If you weigh up the cost of adding another bedroom to your house, a log cabin seems like a very reasonable alternative. And lastly, another great way to utilise an outdoor garden cabin is to turn it into a studio or games room.
There's no better feeling than knowing that your children or other half are having fun (and you don't have to listen to it!). If they're into music, an insulated cabin can allow them to rehearse with you safe in the knowledge that there's a bit of soundproofing. Or, if you're looking at having a games room for the children or even for yourself, a log cabin can provide the perfect divide between work and home.
Garden Log Cabin Sizes
When looking for log cabins for sale, you'll need to measure the site of your proposed cabin. Consider what you want to store or set up inside your garden cabin and mark out an area that seems suitable. When choosing a site for your log cabin, think about sunlight and which direction you want it to face as well as boundaries and overhanging trees.
Try not to build at the bottom of a slope or on marshy or damp ground. Luckily for you, here at Garden Buildings Direct, we offer log cabins in a range of sizes from 3.5 x 2.5m all the way up to almost 6 x 5m models. And, as our products come in easy-to-assemble tongue and groove panels, you can have a quick garden log cabin put up in no time.
Log Cabin Benefits
Space
If you need extra space, then a log cabin could be the answer with more usable benefits than just buying a garden shed. With increased internal space you can use your log cabin for a spacious living extension.
Log cabins make the perfect space for relaxation, working, or a bit of extra storage. So if you need additional space, consider investing in a quality timber log cabin.
Views
If you've always thought that your shed would be the perfect place to sit and relax, but it didn't offer enough space, then a log cabin could be for you. Our log cabins UK are a customer favourite for the sense of satisfaction they can bring to enjoying your garden studio.
Storage
Whether it's a lawn mower or somewhere to cope with running out of loft space, garden cabins can offer the perfect solution. Log cabin storage can go a long way to reorganising your life and a cabin with shelves can become an inspiring art studio or somewhere to create a reading nook.
With your cabin inventory accounted for, it's no wonder that garden cabins are a customer favourite.
Log Cabin Uses
From garden studio to cabin home gym or garden office log cabin, the possibilities are endless. With protection against wind and water ingress, you can spend time in your garden log cabin in comfort. The improved insulation offered by thicker cladding makes log cabins perfect for year-round use.
Log Cabin Planning Permission
However, before purchasing a stylish log cabin, it's important to know about any planning regulations which may apply to your garden building. Planning regulations that may affect your proposed log cabin include:
- If your log cabin is likely to extend past the boundary of your house.
- If your log cabin is within two metres from a boundary.
- If your highest eaves are taller than 2.5m or exceed a ridge height of 4m.
- If your cabin exceeds 50% of the area of your garden.
- If your proposed cabin site is closer than 2.5m to your main house.
However, with a BillyOh log cabin, you can be sure in making a purchase that adheres to these guidelines (e.g. eaves and ridge height) where possible. Remember, planning permission can vary depending on things like your area and the style of garden building you're opting for. We recommend reading our quick guide to log cabin planning permission if you have further questions.
Log Cabin Maintenance
No matter what form of treatment you choose for your log cabin, you can be assured of long-lasting quality. That's why we can offer our BillyOh 10-year guarantee against rot, decay, and insect infestation on all of our log cabins. And, if you select pressure treatment, we ensure that protection will extend to 15 years.
Taking care of your log cabin is essential in ensuring its longevity. One of the most important ways of maintaining a contemporary log cabin is by regularly applying wood treatment. This could either be oil-based, water-based treatments, solvent and spirit-based or through dip- or pressure treatment. Treating the timber of a log cabin can help protect against pests and rot. Each form of treatment has its own advantages and disadvantages.
For instance, oil-based treatments only require being retouched every five years. This may sound convenient. However, oil-based treatment is actually one of the least effective forms of treatment. In addition, solvent and spirit-based treatments are one of the more effective methods of treatment, and will only need retouching every three years. On the other hand, pressure treatment is able to go deeper into the pre-cut timber.
This means it is likely to have stronger weather protection than the other methods. That's why we offer pressure treatment. For more information, we suggest checking out our ultimate guide to log cabins.
Log Cabin Timber Option
Our log cabins utilise high-quality European sourced timber and come in a variety of log thicknesses. These include 19mm, 28mm, and 44m thick cladding. So what does log thickness mean?
Here are some quick tips to help you when choosing a log cabin. All our log cabins use tongue and groove cladding whereby notches in the panels fit into corresponding grooves. So no matter what log thickness you go for, you'll be assured of a tight seal and a durable, weatherproof product even if you're just constructing a quick log cabin. 19mm is more than suitable for a log cabin.
Therefore, 19mm is best suited to log cabin summerhouses for use mainly during the warmer months. 28mm thickness will allow for further year-round use and help to insulate and regulate the temperature in your garden cabin better.
Whereas 44mm log cabin cladding will allow your garden building to be better equipped at dealing with harsh weather conditions. We also offer double-glazing options on our log cabins. For more information, you can check out how to damp proof and insulate your garden building for more information.
