Purchasing bespoke log cabins involves making several decisions about design, size and function.
An element that can sometimes be overlooked, however, is how to choose the correct type of log for the structure.
No matter which wood is chosen, it is imperative that the best quality is used, as this will ensure the garden cabin room lasts longer.
Many logs for outdoor huts and gazebos are available to be shaped by a machine. These can be a good option for those who want their log cabins to look neat and uniform.
Whole logs, in contrast, are regularly ordered by people who prefer their buildings to appear more rustic and organic.
Some of the strongest woods are those that have been laminated. Garden rooms in the UK or BBQ cabins can benefit from the use of these materials, since they can offer durability even during the coldest and wettest months of the year. The treatment applied also means that log cabins constructed with laminated wood are less likely to suffer from cracking and peeling.
The thickness of logs for bespoke log cabins will have an impact on the comfort offered, and the longevity of the building. Thicker wood will offer more warmth and insulation. Water is less likely to seep into the log cabins, and even in the highest winds, the structure will remain steadfast.
