An increasingly common use for bespoke log cabins is to convert them into a garden bar.
This can bring many benefits, such as having a conveniently located place to entertain friends and family. They can also enhance an outdoor space and increase the value of a home.
There are several considerations before choosing to build a bar in your garden, such as liaising with the local authority to check whether planning permission is required. You’ll also need to select the best location for it.
Deciding on the right style of outdoor hut for your bar depends on your personal preference. Traditional log cabins, for example, can be used to create a cosy atmosphere, while more modern structures are perfect for a trendy vibe. Compact log cabins are also available for those who have limited space outside.
It's important to consider the entrance, as well as the layout of the internal space. An easily accessible bar area with few or no obstacles is recommended.
Ensuring you have enough room for a bar, seating area and storage is essential, and garden rooms in the UK can be designed to accommodate these. Functionality is key to providing your family or guests with a comfortable place to socialise.
L-shaped bar areas in bespoke log cabins are ideal for those with only a small amount of space, while those with more room could choose a U-shaped or a more linear design inside.
