Log Cabins

Many people who own log cabins prefer a more rustic look on both the inside and outside. 

There are several ways of achieving this image, and many of these are quick and easy methods that most people can implement themselves.

Internally, ensuring the ceilings and walls of your outdoor huts and gazebos look rustic is a simple solution. Keeping the textures of the planks of wood intact rather than sanding them away is one way of keeping your bespoke log cabins naturally attractive.

Hard wood floors inside your garden cabin room provide a pleasing and naturally finished look, as well as being durable and tough. Groove-wood panels placed horizontally to create the interior walls offer a homely and pastoral look. Avoiding over-finishing the wood both inside and out will provide the sense of simplicity desired.

Immediately outside the bespoke log cabins, it is important to landscape the area appropriately. Planting crops of vegetables and herbs as well as other local plant life and shrubs could make your structure feel like a green, environmentally friendly retreat.

Building a stone or cobbled pathway leading to the log cabin will set the scene of a rustic and natural retreat. Adding extras to the outside space, such as wooden benches and pergolas, will also contribute to the sense of an oasis of peace and calmness that is wholesome and instinctive.

With the growing popularity of people owning their own bespoke log cabins, there comes new techniques and technologies designed to make the process of building log cabins easier. 

For example, log cornering is a way of making sure square shaped outdoor huts and gazebos do not have protruding planks at the edges of the structure. This means that these log cabins, often built in more urban areas, are sleek and look contemporary.

There are also now new processes that can shape log panels into bespoke shapes and sizes. Using this technology means you can design your garden cabin room to your own specifications, and the internal floor plans can also be unique with various angles and corners.

Although dovetail joints are common connectors for many garden rooms in the UK, there are other ways of connecting posts and beams. Many are designed to be watertight and weather resistant so they are sturdier in more adverse conditions, which adds extra stability to the structure all year round.

Log profiling means that you have a choice of materials on offer when considering building your bespoke log cabins. Hard and soft woods both bring their own set of advantages, and each type of wood available is classified by strength, convenience and ease of use. This enables you to select which is best for you and your specific log cabins project.

With the growing popularity of bespoke log cabins, customers are now offered a wider range of styles and design options. 

Having a larger garden cabin room, for example, allows you to use the space both for work and leisure. With the additional space, sections can be created internally to visually divide various rooms that may have different uses. 

Additional storage areas may also be added to give the building even more practicality and usefulness.

Not everyone has space in their garden for big outdoor huts and gazebos, and there are plenty of smaller log cabins available on the market. With less space, these sorts of bespoke log cabins can have more of a specific use; for example, as a school cabin.

Other types of log cabins include those that are designed with an added veranda. This allows you to sit outside and enjoy warmer seasons, but with the added protection a veranda offers.

Other options available for bespoke log cabins include corner structures, which are perfect for those with smaller pieces of land, or an area of the garden that is not being utilised. 

Log cabins with full insulation are also available, and these allow you to use your cabin all year round, and guarantee visitors will be warm and snug in even the chilliest months.

Log cabins are adaptable, and can be used for a wide array of activities. 

You may choose to commission standard log cabins that fit nicely into your garden, yet there are other options if you prefer to own something a little more unusual.

For example, clockhouse log cabins are those that have been designed with larger than usual doors and walls. This means that plenty of natural light can be allowed to flood the space, making these structures perfect to use as a school cabin or garden office.

Other types of outdoor huts and gazebos on offer are garden cabin Rennes. These are versatile log cabins with large windows, and can be used from everything from storage to hot tub garden rooms. Bespoke log cabins such as these are regularly made from woods like spruce.

Camping pods may require discussions about possible planning permission, but they offer the ideal getaway for those looking for somewhere to relax and unwind. Often, these are dome shaped, or have the appearance of a tent. They are also usually smaller cabins, but still offer the space to contain a bed and basic amenities.

Luxury, hand crafted bespoke log cabins are also an option, and will offer the chance to create a completely unique structure.

The wood used to construct bespoke log cabins is usually the perfect material to create a warm building. 

There are many reasons for this, including the ability of these planks to preserve the heat inside your outdoor huts and gazebos. 

Wood offers natural thermal insulation, which is important during the colder seasons. Bespoke log cabins made from good quality wood will also be cooler in the summer and warmer times. 

The ability of timber to naturally warm up and cool down your log cabins or barbeque sheds means that these themselves become eco structures that have little to no negative impact on the environment.

To increase the insulation properties of log cabins, twin skin options are also available. This means that a cavity not only in the walls but also in the floor and ceilings are filled with insulation materials.

It is often deemed unnecessary to insulate the walls of bespoke log cabins, as the emphasis is often on insulating the floor and roof. However, any cabins with a wall less than forty-four millimetres thick may need additional padding. 

Regardless of the thickness of the wood, if you intend to use your garden cabin room as somewhere to relax, it may be worthwhile considering adding extra insulation.

Alternatively, adding thick curtains to double glazed windows or wool carpets on floors will increase the warmth inside your log cabins.

There are many reasons why you might consider purchasing a hot tub garden room. For instance, they offer a space where you can relax and unwind after a hard day. Having these sorts of bespoke log cabins in your garden means you have easy and convenient access to the facilities.

Installing hot tub garden rooms to your outdoor space means that this area becomes transformed into a place where you can enjoy your leisure time without having to travel far.

Another important advantage is that these areas allow you to use your tub all year round. A garden cabin room with a hot tub means that, no matter the weather, you can enjoy some leisure time fully protected from the elements. Being able to enjoy the benefits of your hot tub during the winter months may even have a positive impact on your overall health and wellbeing.

Other advantages of having outdoor huts and gazebos for your hot tub include being able to invite your friends and family along to enjoy your facilities too. Hot tub garden rooms provide the perfect excuse to have a party or other gathering to celebrate a wide variety of events and anniversaries.

There are many reasons why you may consider constructing outdoor huts and gazebos. For example, these structures offer the perfect places to sit in your garden to enjoy the outdoors, while providing enough shelter to avoid any cold, wet weather.

To maximise your enjoyment of these log cabins, there are several points to consider. 

Gazebos, for instance, are often commissioned to be the central focal point of a garden. For this reason, positioning them where there is an abundance of plants and flowers makes perfect sense. The flora and fauna of your outdoor space can be fully enjoyed and appreciated in this way; however, it is essential to avoid placing too much shadow on your foliage. 

In other cases, you may want to consider placing your bespoke log cabin in a sheltered part of your garden, so you can avoid the wind coming through the building. Areas where water may pool should also be avoided, to prevent any damage.

If you want to use your outdoor huts and gazebos for outdoor dining purposes, you could position them within easy reach of your kitchen. On the other hand, if the main reason for your garden room is to create a private space, you may want to locate them further away from the main residence, tucked away in a corner of your garden.

Outdoor huts and gazebos can sometimes be placed directly onto grass, but you should first ensure that the space is flat and even.

Adding weatherproof treatments or paints to log cabins can improve their longevity, making them more capable of withstanding a range of adverse weather conditions. A treatment should therefore be carefully applied, and added once the log cabins have been fully constructed.

Before paints or treatments are applied, make sure the wood is clean by wiping off any collected dust or dirt . It’s also important to add a primer, and once this step is complete, it is usually advisable to wait at least twenty-four hours before adding your treatment.

Once this period has passed, you can treat the wood, although give the treatment a good thorough stirring first. Once this first coating has been brushed onto your outdoor BBQ hut or garden cabin room, it must be left to dry. A second coat can usually be applied after a couple of hours.

High quality paints and stains are always recommended, and good brushes must be used to guarantee an even and clean application.

Whichever treatments are used on your outdoor huts and gazebos, a generous amount must be applied to the wooden planks. It is also important to identify and target specific areas that may be more vulnerable to dampness and water, and carefully apply your dampproof coatings on these parts. Also, remember that treatments must be applied to dry wood, and not on any parts that are wet.

Selecting easy or prefabricated build log cabins has many advantages. 

One of the most obvious is that these structures are quick to construct, and there is little fuss or complications attached to the actual build. These bespoke log cabins are also extremely versatile, and can be used for a number of reasons, ranging from barbeque sheds to outdoor huts and gazebos.

Generally speaking, these types of log cabins have no settling in period, and should be stable and sound immediately after construction. This means that there should be no issues with doors and windows shifting over time, so you can start using your hut straightaway, without issues arising such as doors not shutting properly, or windows becoming loose. 

Using pre-sized planks of wood will also ensure fewer gaps that need plugging, resulting in less drafts and dampness.

For those concerned about the environment, using readymade log cabins reduce the risk of producing waste products or unused materials. The exact amount of wood, fixtures and fittings, along with other elements, will be provided, making these builds efficient and easy.

Often, these types of bespoke log cabins are more affordable, and can be designed to a range of specifications. Personal preferences can be embedded into the design such as size, the number of storeys, and internal layouts of floor spaces and walls.
