Log Cabins

Ideal for many uses, including a comfortable home office to a hobby room, entertaining space, or simply a great place to sit and unwind with a hot cuppa and a good book. Here we explore the many different options we offer within our log cabin styles range – from smaller log cabins to large multi-room luxury log cabins. If you’re looking for extra garden accommodation, these buildings are tough, stylish, and hand-built at our UK manufacturing facility. If you’re in the market for a garden log cabin but can’t quite decide which one is right for you, head over to our log cabin buying guide, which gives you the information you need to make the right decision.

Small log cabins

Small log cabins offer many of the same features as our larger range of log cabin sheds. You get opening double-glazed windows, double-opening doors with lock and key for good security. Floors are constructed from tongue and groove timber with strong bearers, and the roof is well supported on sturdy roof trusses. We have smaller log cabins with pent or apex roofs and even options, including an integrated side shed for tidying away all your garden tools, outdoor furniture and garden equipment.

Large log cabins

Our larger log cabins for sale continue the same quality features as our smaller offerings – opening double-glazed windows, locking double doors, tough, hard-wearing floors and roofs supported on strong trusses. As well as offering lots of internal living space, our log cabins are available in versatile and stylish configurations. We offer corner cabins, cabins with curved roofs, verandas, traditional log cabins and more. For our most luxurious offerings, check out our collection of premium log cabins, which feature sliding doors, multiple rooms, and high-quality hardware throughout.

Contemporary log cabins

Whether you’re looking for the airy headroom of an apex roof, the low-rise look of a pent roof, or the comfort of a wrap-around veranda, our contemporary log cabins offer modern styling at an affordable price. We also offer your choice of optional extras, including a wide variety of finishes in tasteful colours designed to make your garden cabin stand out for all the right reasons. If you’re searching for a wooden garden building with timeless style, our high quality buildings fit the bill.

Corner log cabins for sale

A great way to make the best use of your garden space, a corner log cabin offers a light and airy space with dual-aspect windows and half-glazed double doors. Offering views of your whole garden, corner log cabins have lots of floor space, making them ideal for a wide variety of uses, including outdoor dining, a home gym, a games room, and much more.

Insulated log cabins

An insulated log cabin, also known as an insulated garden room, is the perfect choice if you're looking for a truly all-weather building for your outdoor space. With double-skinned walls, as well as insulation surrounding the floor, roof and all sides, it's the perfect choice if you want to maximise use from your new investment. 

Log thicknesses

Our traditional interlocking log cabins begin at 19mm and going all the way to 44mm, all our garden rooms are built to last. Opting for thicker walls has several advantages: thicker walls offer better insulation from heat during the summer and the cold in wintertime - so you can use all year round. Thicker walls also help to reduce noise from outside for added peace and tranquillity. Whichever thickness you decide on, you’ll get the same 10-year anti-rot guarantee, 100% FSC-certified timber, and a quality product manufactured here in the UK.

If you're looking for an interlocking log cabin with even thicker log boards, why not try one of our 44mm log cabins?

Alternatively, our double-skinned insulated log cabins are available with 72mm double-skinned walls, all the way up to 100mm.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a log cabin?

Traditionally constructed from thick, interlocking tongue and groove spruce log boards, a log cabin is the ultimate garden building. So much more than a garden shed, a traditional log cabin can be anything you want it to be. Alternatively, a more contemporary design and construction is available in the form of an insulated log cabin, which, instead of interlocking boards, features double-skinned walls with insulation nestled in between. 

Its robustness, practicality and stunning good looks make it the perfect space for anyone who's ever dreamed of owning their own garden office, garden gym, craft workshop, summer house, garden pub, additional lounge room, extra living space, man cave or garden room. If you want an all year-round garden building, entertainment space, or even occasional guest accommodation a log cabin is a flexible, affordable way to do it.

How to build a log cabin

Build your log cabin in the order below:

1. Prepare your ground
2. Lay the bearers and base logs
3. Fit the wall logs, windows, and door frames
4. Install roof joists
5. Add decking and roof boards
6. Lay the floorboards

For details of each step, read our how to build a log cabin guide.

Alternatively, if you'd rather not build your own from a garden log cabin kit, then our team can assemble it for you on delivery. Give us a call to find out what your options are. In addition to this, our insulated log cabins (with the exclusion of the DIY range) come with free installation as standard, so all you have to do is sit back and relax. 

Do I need planning permission for a log cabin?

Most garden buildings like log cabins don’t require planning permission, but there are exceptions. For more information read our planning permission for garden buildings guide or contact your local planning authority and building control services.
