Busting myths about log cabins

Many people consider purchasing bespoke log cabins, but may be concerned about several issues they may have heard about these sorts of structures. For example, it is often believed that log cabins are only for temporary visits or activities but with the right planning permissions, garden cabin rooms may be used as a permanent residence.

Potential buyers may also be worried about fire safety, concerned that wooden outdoor huts and gazebos are more likely to burn down. With the right treatments however, log cabins can be no more at risk of fires than standard homes. This may also lead to thoughts that log cabins may not last as long as other sorts of buildings, but again, with good materials, construction techniques and appropriate finishes, cabins can last for many decades and longer.

Those who look to buy buildings such as barbeque sheds or garden rooms in the UK could be unsettled about the use of wood and the issues this material might cause. However, some timbers are so strong and tough that log cabins are structurally sound and safe. When purchased from reputable sellers, the materials will have been through the contraction and expansion process and will be good to use. Generally, timber for bespoke log cabins is environmentally friendly and concerns about the environmental impact can also be neutralized.
