Log Cabins & Planning Permission
Planning regulations that may affect your proposed log cabin include:
- If it is likely to extend past the boundary of your house
- If it is within two metres from a boundary
- If your highest eaves are taller than 2.5m or exceed a ridge height of 4m
- If it exceeds 50% of the area of your garden
- If your proposed site is closer than 2.5m to your main house
With a BillyOh log cabin, you can be sure that it will follow these guidelines (e.g. eaves and ridge height) where possible. Remember, planning permission can vary depending on things like your area. We recommend reading our quick guide to planning permission for more info. For example, if you're looking for log cabins to live in, it's likely you'll have to apply for planning permission.
Log Cabin Maintenance
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 a contemporary log cabin 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. They will only need retouching every three years. And pressure treatment is able to go even deeper into the timber of your log house.
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.
Timber and Cladding Options
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?
Here are some quick tips to help you when choosing a log cabin. All our log cabins use tongue and groove cladding. This is where notches in the panels fit into corresponding grooves. So no matter what log thickness you go for, you can be sure of a tight seal and a durable, weatherproof product.
19mm is best suited to log cabin summerhouses 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. For more information, check out our guide on how to damp proof and insulate your garden building.
