Increasing the practicality of log cabins

  • 18 Jun 2024

There are certain elements that allow bespoke log cabins to not only appear more pleasing to the eye, but also ensure they are practical and user-friendly. 

One of the best examples is to treat the timber. This can help with mould and pest control, but moreover when choosing appropriate colours or finishes, the overall appearance of the cabin will be enhanced.

Other examples include the addition of canopies. A simple extension to the outside area of outdoor huts and gazebos will offer shade and comfort to the user, while simultaneously protecting parts of the structure from rain and sunshine. 

When considering finishes for the roof of a building like a garden office cabin, shingles are often the best option. These protect log cabins in times of adverse weather conditions such as storms, but they also add an extra decorative touch to the cabin, as they are available in a range of colours and shapes.

Internally, adding plenty of shelving inside log cabins will provide bountiful storage space. Natural woods or bespoke units can be made to fit into even the most awkward of spaces, enhancing the interior design so that it is more well-organised and comfortable.

Users may also consider adding plant boxes to windows to add a natural touch, as well as providing fresh herbs and flowers to the owner.

Here at Logspan, our experienced team are here to support you with any question you may have about bespoke log cabins. Get in touch today for more details.
