Personalising your log cabin

Once your garden cabin room or barbeque lodge has been completed, there are many ways to enhance and improve it. For example, it is possible to add an additional storey to log cabins to create bedrooms or workspaces. A staircase must be added to access this new space before any work is carried out to achieve this, and the foundations must be checked to ensure they can carry the additional weight.

Adding a loft is another way of enhancing a school cabin or garden office cabin. Fewer changes to the cabin's structure is required for this addition, but it is still advisable to ensure any load-bearing walls and posts can tolerate the extra weight. This extra space can be used for storage, or as an additional living space.

Improvements to the exterior roof can often be made if the original log cabins had a felt material cover. Shingles may be added to make the structure more waterproof, and to enhance the overall appearance of the cabin.

Solar panels not only enhance the environmental credentials of log cabins, but they will also save you money. Adding insulation panels will also add to the preservation of heat and save on future costs. Decorative ironmongering such as door handles, letterboxes and hinges will provide a unique and customised appearance to your outdoor huts and gazebos. These items can also contribute to the security and safety of your log cabin.
