With growing access to expertise and tools when building bespoke log cabins, it has become easier to select the right elements for your build.
Unsurprisingly, some of the most crucial components of outdoor huts and gazebos is the wood.
There are many factors to take into account when deciding which planks to use, whether you plan to build a Scandinavian BBQ hut or a garden cabin room. Appearance is just one of these elements.
It is worthwhile noting that the interior wood should be just as appealing and attractive as the exterior materials. Wood preservatives and stains can allow individuals to customise their bespoke log cabins as they see fit.
As well as presentation, the wood used for your garden office cabin must be strong and stable. Some woods have a tendency to shrink when first used for log cabins, so purchasing materials that have been pre-shrunk or treated is usually advisable. It is also wise to avoid woods that are known to warp and twist.
Pine woods are generally more resistant to decay, so are perfect for the exteriors of bespoke log cabins. Other woods to consider could include spruce and fir.
For interiors, cedar and oak are just two of the options you can select from. Each variety of wood has its own characteristics, so deciding whether you want a smooth, contemporary hut or a more rustic log cabin will determine your choice.
