The best locations to build a log cabin

It is important to select the best locations to build your log cabins. Before choosing, it is usually appropriate to have a think about what you want from your bespoke log cabins. 

If the purpose of the build is to create somewhere where you can enjoy peace and quiet, then perhaps a piece of land in a rural area is best. For wildlife lovers, building outdoor huts and gazebos in a forested area is likely to contribute to the sense of well-being and being part of the natural world.

Many people prefer to have their log cabins closer to home and may decide to build a school cabin, for instance in a back garden or yard area. There are plenty of advantages in doing this, such as being close to amenities and, for those wanting to use their log cabins as work or learning spaces, there is not far to travel to get there.

Wherever the chosen location is, it must be accessible and for most, should be on a piece of land which has access to services such as drainage and power. This is especially important for structures like barbeque sheds, which often need an energy supply. 

It is also important to ensure the land does not get waterlogged during heavy rains or has all-year round shade; both of these scenarios will result in damage to the log cabins in the long term.
