The Benefits of Log Cabins

Log cabins can be used in several ways
One of the main benefits of a log cabin garden room is that it can be used for several different uses. You can use it as a guest house, a home gym, or any other way. There are plenty of options to choose from.

A log cabin is weatherproof
Each of our log cabins is built with high-quality timber to ensure they are all weather proof. We only use slow-grown Nordic spruce to ensure each of our cabin is well-protected from all the elements. Spruce log cabins still need to be treated, but Nordic spruce itself is much more sturdy and durable compared to cheaper types of wood.

Our log cabins come in several different styles
Summerhouse24 offers a wide range of prefabricated log cabins in the UK, including various designs and sizes. You can choose your perfect luxury log cabin to fit your garden and requirements.

Log cabins are energy-efficient
Each of our log cabins comes with walls at least 44m wide and double-glazed windows and doors. Therefore each log cabin is energy efficient. You can purchase an insulated wood log cabin with additional floor and roof insulation for even more energy efficiency.

Prefab Log Cabin Kits: Convenient, Cost-Effective & Durable

Why choose a prefab log cabin kit? Getting a premade log cabin can be a great idea, because you’ll know all the costs upfront. When you’re building a log cabin from scratch, unexpected costs can often come up during the building process. With a prefab kit, you’ll know exactly how much you will pay and there are no costly surprises to worry about.

Log cabin kits are also convenient – all you have to do is pick out a model you like, choose any extras (like insulation for example) and make your order. If there are any adjustments you’d like to an existing design we have or you’d like a bespoke log cabin, you can get in touch with us.

Our Nordic spruce log cabins are extremely durable and with proper care can be used by yourself, your children and even grandchildren. In short – by choosing a log cabin made by Summerhouse24 you’ll get a wooden building that lasts for decades.

Popular Uses for a Prefab Garden Log Cabin

As a Home Bar

What better way to relax after a long work day or weekend than with a cold drink in your garden pub? Creating a garden bar gives “having a drink at your local” a new meaning and can be an excellent addition to any garden.
Not only will you save money on your alcohol purchases, but you can skip the queues, save time trying to find a table, and have a great catch-up with your partner or friends without any annoying distractions.

As a Home Spa

If your idea of relaxation isn’t having a drink, creating a relaxing retreat at the bottom of your garden could be the answer.
A log cabin can complement a hot tub in your garden, offering you a place to change, stay warm, and unwind away from the busy day-to-day requirements we all face.

As a Garden Office

A garden office space is quickly becoming one of the most popular options for many homes, as more and more jobs require people to work from home from time to time.
Having a garden office offers you a specific place to dedicate to your work and shut out the distractions of the rest of the world.

As an Outdoor Living Space

When hosting a party in the summer, having an outdoor space for people to relax in, or to place snacks in, can be a real game-changer.
An outdoor living space offers you a place for the adults at the party to catch up while also keeping an eye on the kids while they play in the garden.

As a Home Cinema

Another excellent use for a prefab log cabin is as a home cinema. Grab your blankets, grab the family, and hunker down in your garden cinema, watching a new release or an old classic.
A home cinema is a fantastic way to get the whole family to spend valuable quality time together or have your friends over for a well-overdue catch-up.

As a Home Gym

Getting to the gym before or after work can be incredibly difficult. Even with the best intentions, finding time to get out of the house and into the gym can be impossible, especially if you have children to look after or a highly stressful job.
But exercising doesn’t have to be this difficult. A garden gym can take away a lot of the barriers that prevent you from exercising.

For starters, you don’t have to leave home, so you don’t require childcare for young children.
Secondly, you can train whenever suits you. You don’t have to try and get a piece of equipment at your local gym at its busiest points.
Thirdly, training in summer at home can be great fun! You can open the double doors on a summer’s day, get the tunes blasting, and have a great time exercising.

As a Game Room

Finally, a wood log cabin is an excellent place to create your dream games room. It can be hard to justify giving up a bedroom or valuable in-house storage room for a games room, but a log cabin allows you to create your dream games room without sacrificing additional living space in the house.

How to Maintain Your Garden Log Cabin

You might wonder why you need to worry about log cabin maintenance. After all, each prefab log house has the highest quality materials and requires minimal maintenance.
However, even our log cabin range will require some maintenance from time to time, and it is impossible to avoid.
To ensure your garden cabin has the longest possible life span, it is essential to take the necessary maintenance measures.

Your maintenance checklist:

Ensure your cabin is treated as soon as you build it.
Ensure you re-apply a treatment whenever needed, ideally once per year.
Ensure you continue to watch for leaks or rain damage.
Ensure you tackle any moisture quickly and effectively.
Ensure your log cabin shed is secure.

Log Cabin Treatment

Our prefabricated log cabin kits come untreated to allow you to finish it in a style that suits you.

However, treatment is extremely important, and you should treat your log cabin as fast as possible once you have built it. If not, your wood log cabin will begin to get damaged.

Before executing your log cabin base layer treatment, cover the glass, surrounding ground, and hinges, with tape so you don’t cover them with paint by mistake.

We recommend you start from the top and work through one wall at a time. After the first coat has dried, apply another coat, and then remove the tape.
Before treating your cabin, ensure it is fully dry to get the best results.

Ensure you re-apply a treatment whenever needed

Treatment should be typically applied every few years, depending on the product you are using. Remember to also check your log cabin periodically, keeping an eye out for any issues that need attending. If you notice water starting to seep into the wood, you need to act quickly to prevent irreversible damage.

Ensure you continue to watch for leaks or rain damage

When you are cleaning your log cabin, keep an eye out for any potential rain spots or dirt splatters that appear on the walls, as they could be more damaging than they appear.
If you notice these spots appear, consider purchasing a silicone sealant from your local DIY store to waterproof those areas.

Ensure you tackle any moisture quickly and effectively

Moisture is one of your biggest challenges with any log cabin. Insulated log cabins tend to suffer less, but any timber log cabin will experience moisture from time to time due to fluctuations in temperature.
Even if you are only using your log cabin to store garden equipment, you still need to keep on top of any moisture that appears. We have a helpful guide to stopping damp and you’ll also find on overview below.

Moisture can occur in four main areas.

The roof

It is impossible to stop the rain! However, where you place your log cabin and which roof you opt for will help reduce the impact rain can have.
Avoid placing your cabin under trees to prevent dripping, and pick a roof type that will allow snow and rain to quickly run off and away from the cabin to prevent damage.

The foundation

It is essential not to set your cabin on the ground, as this greatly increases the chances of water seeping in through your floor.
Start by implementing a concrete base, and ensure it is well insulated. Any joints between the walls and the floor must be secure to prevent water from getting in. You can read more about popular base types for garden buildings here.

The drainage

One easy way to ensure your log cabin has efficient drainage is to place it in the highest area of your garden. This action will prevent rain from splashing onto the logs. Your guttering should also be set up to direct water away from the cabin, keeping it clean and dry.

Keeping your cabin warm

One of the toughest tasks of purchasing a log cabin is keeping it warm during the cold winter months. Even with our extremely thick walls and double glazing, a thinner floor or roof can cause heat loss.

Each of our log cabins allows you to fully insulate your log cabin, including the roof and floor, to keep the cabin warmer in winter and reduce moisture.

On dry summer days, open the windows or doors to prevent them from steaming up and reducing condensation.

Ensure your log cabin shed is secure

Our range of log cabins is some of the most secure on the market. We only use the best possible materials, implement the tongue and groove building style, and each log cabin comes with double-glazed windows and doors and 44m wall thickness as a minimum.

If you’d like to see any of our buildings in person you can visit out display sites in Devon or Leeds.

Can you live permanently in a log cabin?

Living permanently in your log cabin or other garden buildings may be possible, but you must seek planning permission from your local council and adhere to their requirements.

Do I need planning permission for a log cabin?

There are several instances where you can put up a garden building without planning permission, but you must check the local rules to ensure you are not breaching any laws.

What size log cabin can I have without planning permission?

If your log cabin is built within 2m of a boundary it can’t exceed a maximum height of 2.5m. It also needs to be single-storey and can’t have any raised platforms, verandas or balconies that are above 0.3m in height. There are many different requirements a garden building needs to meet and they also vary locally. You can easily check what is required with your local council or by using the Planning Portal.

How much is a prefab log cabin?

Our prefab log cabins cost between £5,625 – £49,200. You’ll find many different sizes and styles available from small log cabins to large cabins with bedrooms.

How long do prefab log cabins last?

Good quality prefab log cabins can last 60 years or more. With regular maintenance, our wooden cabins will last you for a lifetime. This is thanks to the high-quality timber (Nordic spruce) and construction of all our buildings.
