Using log cabins as barbeque sheds

Using outdoor huts and gazebos as barbeque sheds is becoming increasingly popular. 

Not only can well constructed log cabins be aesthetically pleasing, they could also add value to the home in the event of a sale, as well as providing hospitality spaces for friends and family throughout the year.

It is important though that before constructing a barbeque lodge, you measure the garden or outdoor space where it will be placed. It must fit perfectly into the area without it either looking overwhelmed if it is too small, or disproportionate if it is too large. You many also need to seek planning permission if it meets local planning requirements.

A small BBQ hut, when well-designed, can still hold the appropriate grill and spaces for food storage and for BBQ hut accessories. Larger versions can also have the space to add luxury fittings like an integrated seating area and full kitchen fixtures and fittings.

Since the weather is often unreliable, having a waterproof roof is essential. This must be fitted with enough ventilation to allow smoke and cooking smells to escape, especially if it is an enclosed structure. Constructing a good, sturdy base for an outdoor BBQ hut is essential for health and safety. Options usually include foundations made from concrete for a permanent cabin, or for a more temporary structure, a wooden base can be used.
