Log Cabins

Log Cabins are a relatively new addition to the traditional English Garden. In previous years, we had always viewed garden buildings to be used mainly as garden sheds or a small occasional use Summer House. However, the traditional summer houses have never had the insulation properties to enable them to be used all year. As a nation we want to spend more and more time in our gardens whether it is for entertaining guests, or just relaxing quietly away from our busy lives. By the very nature of their construction, log cabins are offering us an affordable way of getting away from the house and into the garden.

Log cabins are not constructed by attaching a cladding onto a framework, they are actual thick pieces of timber shaped as a Tongue and Grooved profile and then jointed on the ends. As you can imagine, the thicker the log profile, the more insulated the cabin will be. As well as summer houses a very popular use for log cabins is as Garden Offices. With the increased availability of broadband, people have more opportunity to work from home and still maintain the excellent communication skills needed in the work place.

As a company we work very closely with our suppliers (see images below). We have two main suppliers of log cabins, one in Estonia and one in Lithuania. We personally visit both companies regularly which helps us to maintain a top quality product and good availability. Both companies purchase timber from sustainable resources within managed forests.
