Roof styles for log cabins

There are several different styles of roofs available for log cabins. Although there are many options to choose from, each has its specific benefits, so it is important to select the ones that best fit the styles of bespoke log cabins and what practicalities each has.

One of the most commonly used styles is the gable roof. This is when the roof has two sloping sides that meet at the top in the middle, forming a triangle shape. It is a simple style that suits most types of garden rooms used in the UK. Not only does this type of roof create an attic space inside these log cabins, but they also ensure that snow and rain seamlessly run off the top of the building. They are quick and easy to build, too.

Another type of roof is the flat roof. This is often used on BBQ cabins or sheds, and is ideal for adding solar panels so that, long term, they can help save money and power. 

Due to the flatter nature of the roof, they must be fully waterproofed and have sufficient drainage to avoid pooling and leaks.

A-frame roofing has plenty of aesthetic appeal and can enhance the appearance of bespoke log cabins or hot tub garden rooms. They are cost effective and easy to maintain, while also being durable.
