Benefits of a Log Cabin and Summerhouse

Not only do Log cabins encompass the nature around them, they also have multiple uses and so many benefits that will offset any doubts you may have for making the leap and spending your hard earned cash.

The benefits of a Cabin go far beyond just their looks, of which there are multiple styles and designs to choose from. Originally Log cabins were dwellings often found in places such as Scandinavia, Canada and America. Utilising the nature around them the cabins were constructed of logs providing a sturdy warm shelter. Nowadays the uses are limitless ranging from a home office, a playhouse right through to a sustainable living space. They embrace the natural charm of raw materials without compromising on function. Making them ever more the desirable choice when purchasing outdoors living spaces.

You may choose to use it as a storage space, with their generous entryways this makes them perfect for maneuvering items in and out, they also serve as a perfect man cave, office, yoga fitness studio, games room or even a place to put your hot tub.

Remember when choosing your log cabin there are rules and regulations in regards to heights and boundaries, so it would be worth a look at checking these out before you make any final decisions. You are usually allowed to have a cabin in your garden up to 4m (13.4ft) and with a floor space under 30m2. However, if your log cabin is over 2.5m (8.25ft) in height and less that 2m (6.6ft) away from your boundary you will have to get planning permission for your timber building. Generally speaking cabins that are under 2.5m to ridge height are exempt from planning permission as it is considered to be a permitted development.

A very important factor of Log cabins now more than ever is the fact they are eco friendly and in general are made from renewable sustainable sources of timber. The logs themselves are also energy efficient, great at retaining heat and acting as a natural insulator, ultimately reducing your carbon footprint. As well as being weatherproof they are usable all year round, able to cope with harsh weather conditions whilst keeping you warm and dry, without compromising the structure itself.

If you treat your log cabin well it will retain its value, the design means you’ll easily be able to dismantle and move to a different location, without harming its structure. Being totally customisable means you can fully acquire a space that works purely for you.

Summerhouses Unlimited not only have a fantastic range to pick from but they also offer a fully bespoke design service.
