Multi-functional log cabins

Using log cabins for more than one purpose is becoming increasingly popular. 

There are several reasons people may choose to do so, including maximising space and enhancing the functionality of their outdoor huts and gazebos. 

Choosing a thicker wood for construction will not only provide good insulation and warmth for the living quarters, but it will also provide additional protection for vehicles and other goods during harsher weather conditions, such as wind, snow or heat. More robust planks can also ensure the building lasts longer.

Another purpose for these multi-functional cabins is to incorporate a garage into the building, along with storage facilities. For heavier motors, floor bearers can be constructed so the weight can be easily supported.

While it will depend on individual taste, rustic styles can be used to incorporate an attic space through the process of adding a gable roof. Other optional design features could include size and shape, with the addition of a living or leisure area if the space is available.

Strong, double glazed glass for windows and doors may be added to bespoke log cabins for extra security. Opaque versions could also be used to prevent passersby looking inside. Internally, partition walls could be included to divide the space into usable zones.
