Log cabin maintenance
Although all our products are created for durability, regular maintenance is essential for preserving the appearance and longevity of the timber and structure. Regular inspection and treatment of the wood – at least on an annual basis – helps preserve the look of the cabin and ensure protection from the elements. Make sure windows and doors are properly sealed and regularly check the roof for any signs of water ingress.
Fix any issues immediately rather than waiting – they inevitably get worse. Adequate ventilation is also important, so be sure to open windows and doors regularly, and install sufficient air vents to reduce the build of moisture and guard against mould.
Log cabin planning permission
Log cabins often fall under ‘permitted development’ and may not require planning permission if they meet specific criteria. Key considerations include the its size and height, its proximity to property boundaries, and its intended use.
Generally, any garden building within two metres of a boundary must not exceed 2.5 metres in height, and those intended for sleeping accommodation often require planning permission. It's crucial to check with local planning authorities as regulations can vary in certain areas. For more information, read our guide to planning permission for garden buildings.
Ways to use a log cabin
A log cabin in your garden can be transformed into a multi-functional space tailored to your lifestyle. It can serve as a peaceful home office, away from household distractions, helping to encourage productivity and creativity.
For hobbyists, a garden log cabin makes an ideal studio for arts, crafts or music, providing a perfect space to pursue passions. Fitness enthusiasts might use it as a private gym or yoga space, while families can convert their cabin into a games room or a cosy cinema space. They’re also perfect for hosting guests, offering comfort and flexibility. You can draw inspiration from our guide on transforming your log cabin.

Does a log cabin stay warm in the winter?
Yes, thanks in large part to the interlocking tongue and groove logs used in their construction. This design provides a tight seal against the elements, helping to keep the interior warm and free of draughts even during the coldest months. For prolonged winter use, we recommend additional insulation options and efficient heating systems. With these basics in place, your log cabin can become a snug retreat, perfect for enjoying the beauty of winter in comfort.
Are log cabins eco-friendly?
The sustainably sourced and certified wood used in their construction ensures they’re as eco-friendly as possible. Their design has a natural insulation property, making buildings energy-efficient. You can also increase your log cabin’s environmental credentials with greener heating options and reclaimed, recycled or upcycled furnishing and decoration for the interior.
Can I build my own log cabin?
You can set up your building yourself if you’re a reasonably experienced and capable DIYer. It’s a fairly physical task, as well as one requiring a certain level of skill, so we strongly recommend you enlist the help of an able assistant. With the right conditions and skills, there’s no reason why you can’t complete the job over a weekend. You can read more about the task in our guide to building a log cabin. But if you’d rather leave the job to someone else, you can use our installation service and have a team of professionals do all the work for you.
