After a long hard winter, you can’t wait for summer to arrive. But, you feel your garden isn’t at its full potential. The flowers are blooming, the grass is beautifully green, but you don’t have somewhere to sit and enjoy it all. That’s where your log cabin comes in. Log cabins are popular outdoor spaces that allow you to enjoy your garden while engaging with activities you love. If you think this summer is the season you’ll invest in a log cabin, there are a few things you need to consider first.
Log cabins have several uses, and you can purchase different cabin styles to suit your needs. At Logspan, we offer gazebos, BBQ huts, bespoke buildings and more. It’s worth looking at our website and seeing if an alternative cabin style best suits your needs.
Popular uses for traditional log cabins during the summer include:
Play area for your children.
You want your child to be able to enjoy the summer safely. However, the sun’s harmful rays mean you can’t guarantee the protection of your child at all times. A log cabin provides a safe, contained, and shady environment for your children to play in.
Eating space
You might be interested in a BBQ hut, a two-in-one solution for cooking and sitting outside. But, some people prefer to use their log cabin as an extended dining room or buffet space. Keep your food fresh and away from bugs inside your garden cabin. And set up a table and chairs for those who wish to eat inside, away from the sun.
Reading nook
Have you always dreamed of a summer escape? A personal paradise for you to unwind away from the hustle and bustle of the busy house? A garden cabin is your perfect outdoor sanctuary. Read with sunlight beaming through the window and enjoy the tranquillity of your private space.
Things to consider before ordering your garden cabin
There are numerous ways to use a garden cabin in the summer. But, you need to ensure it’s the correct investment for you and your family.
Will you use it all year?
Before you invest in a log cabin, you need to consider how and when you’ll use this space. Do you want a log cabin for summers in the shade? Or is it a purchase you’ll use in the winter, turn into a home office for autumn, and enjoy during spring too? If you think you’ll only utilise your garden cabin in summer, is it worth the investment for you and your family?
Do you have the budget?
If you haven’t considered purchasing a garden cabin for a while, you might not have the budget to spend. Rather than jumping in, full steam ahead, we recommend looking at your finances, discussing with one of our cabin experts, and considering if this is the long-term investment you want to make (not just a summer fling!)
A log cabin is a wonderful accompaniment to all your summer fun. Whether you decide to build a traditional log cabin, gazebo, or BBQ hut, summers will never be the same again! But, before you reach out, ask yourself how and when you’ll use the space and if you’re ready to make the investment.
