Log cabins

A Beautiful and Sturdy Log Cabin Offers Endless Possibilities
A log cabin is much more than just an extra building in your garden. It represents a unique opportunity to expand your living space and enjoy a separate room in the middle of nature – or somewhere in your garden. The natural material used to build a log cabin—often Nordic wood—creates a warm and cosy atmosphere, connecting you with nature and bringing a sense of tranquillity and simplicity into your daily life. A log cabin can be anything from a guesthouse to a small summerhouse or extra space next to your holiday home. If you have a log cabin in your garden, you can use it as a home office, a teenager’s retreat, or for various creative activities. One of the most significant advantages of a log cabin is how easy it is to order and assemble—even without extensive DIY experience. There is no need to take measurements, go to the timberyard and collect materials like wood, screws, and brackets, or worry about intricate design details. Everything is delivered as a ready-to-assemble kit, with all parts carefully prepared so you only need to assemble it. We call it the perfect DIY project. You can get started as soon as your log cabin is delivered, avoiding the hassle that often comes with larger building projects.
Enjoy Nature and Gather Friends and Family in Your Log cabin
Imagine the feeling of opening the doors to your log cabin, letting the sunshine flood in, and being close to nature—whether your cabin is in your garden, by a holiday home, or in another scenic location. A log cabin quickly becomes a natural gathering point for family and friends, where you can play, relax, barbecue, and enjoy each other’s company while making the most of the great outdoors. The extra space allows you to entertain comfortably and invitingly, creating the perfect setting for guests wanting to stay for a night or two. With one of our beautiful and sturdy log cabins, you also have the freedom to customise the look to suit your preferences. You can preserve the natural, raw timber appearance by treating the wood with a transparent protective coating that maintains its original hue, or you can paint the cabin in a colour that blends harmoniously with the surroundings and matches your style. Whatever you choose, a log cabin will be a stunning and harmonious addition to any garden or plot of land.
Ensure a Solid Foundation for Your Log Cabin
To ensure your log cabin stands securely and lasts for many years, placing it on a stable and level foundation is crucial. Here are some solid foundation options for your log cabin:
- - A poured concrete foundation is almost always a good choice, as it has been used for various buildings for many years. It is strong and durable but requires more time and investment to construct.
- - A foundation for a log cabin that does not require heating is lighter and less expensive than a poured concrete foundation but still involves some groundwork. A foundation with a dug trench can be suitable for most garden sheds, tool sheds, annexes, and wooden cabins, provided the land is not too sloped. It is a strong, stable, and long-lasting foundation.
- - Paving slabs can also be an excellent foundation for annexes and log cabins. They are relatively easy to lay, and you avoid needing concrete pouring. If you choose this option, it can be a great idea to lay enough slabs to create a patio in front of or around your log cabin. This helps prevent muddy ground outside the cabin and provides a fantastic space for relaxation and socialising.
If you are unsure how to approach your log cabin's foundation, you can look up guidance online or ask for advice at your local building supplies store. Each type of foundation has pros and cons, but always ensure the foundation is ready before we deliver your new log cabin. We offer personal service and advice, but unfortunately, we cannot assist with foundation work or similar tasks.
