Tips on commissioning affordable log cabins

Although many people may believe that owning bespoke log cabins are beyond their financial means, there are tips to follow that can help make these structures more achievable.  

For example, electing for smaller log cabins can be an easy way to keep within a specified budget. Not only do these outdoor huts and gazebos require smaller amounts of materials, they are also cheaper to heat and maintain in the long run.

There are ways to save money on the foundations of a garden cabin room, too. Normally, for larger buildings, a solid slab base is needed; however, for more petite varieties, a range of substances can be used in their place, such as recycled patio stones or cinder blocks. These are more affordable and will work perfectly well with smaller structures like barbeque sheds.

To help keep the commissioning of your bespoke log cabin on a budget, it is vital to make sure planning is carried out during the beginning of the project. Doing this can ensure that there are no nasty surprises when the build is carried out, and all aspects of the log cabin’s features has been considered.

Extras such as heating, lighting and storage should be costed early on, and form part of the affordability checks.

Whatever methods are used to save money, it’s important to still select the best quality timber, as this can save from costly repairs later down the line.
