Choosing the right bespoke log cabins often depends on the style you prefer - whether that is a traditional structure, or the more modern range of outdoor huts and gazebos.
Many of your decisions could also be based on what you will be using your garden cabin room for.
One of the oldest construction styles for log cabins is the “full scribe” method. This involves stacking logs on in a horizontal way and building up the sides to the desired height. This achieves a tight, gapless building that usually requires no additional insulation.
These sorts of log cabins make perfect BBQ cabins or hot tub garden rooms.
Chinking is a similar way to build bespoke log cabins, but in this cases, a mortar is used between each plank of wood.
For those who wish for low-maintenance bespoke log cabins, the post and beam method can be ideal. A framework of logs is required to make these structures strong, but since less wood is used, they are perfect for those who want to reduce their carbon footprint.
Novice builders wanting to construct habitable log cabins can use the timber frame method. Corner post log cabins have a clean, neat appearance, and can naturally provide areas to finish off the construction. For more modern-looking bespoke log cabins, a hybrid approach can be adopted, which can involve tailoring several different building methods.
