Benefits of Log Cabin Summerhouses


There are many reasons why a log cabin summerhouse could be the ideal addition to your garden. Here are just some of the main benefits:


Versatility

A log cabin summerhouse can be used in so many different ways. They can be turned into reading rooms, home offices or even craft rooms – perfect if you need extra space away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life!


Unique Design

Log cabin summerhouses come with their own unique style that will help make your garden stand out from others. With plenty of options available, it’s easy to find one that matches your tastes perfectly. Many models also feature double-glazed windows and doors which help keep warmth inside during colder months.


Aesthetic Appeal

A log cabin summerhouse can instantly add charm and character to any outdoor space, making it look more inviting and attractive. The warm tones of wooden buildings naturally blend into any landscape, creating a natural look that is both beautiful and timeless.

Choosing the Right Log Cabin Summerhouse

When it comes to choosing the right log cabin summerhouse for your garden, there are several factors you need to take into consideration:


Summerhouse Size

You should first decide on how much space you have available in your garden before selecting a size for your log cabin summerhouse. Options range from 3 metres up to 10 metres and beyond! It is important that you pick a size that allows enough room inside for whatever purpose you plan on using it for without taking up too much valuable outdoor space.


Summerhouse Log Thickness

The thicker the logs used in constructing the log cabin summerhouse, the better insulation it will provide against cold temperatures during winter months. Choose between 28mm logs all the way up to 68mm logs depending on how much insulation is needed in different parts of your garden.


Budget For Your Summerhouse

Your budget will ultimately determine what type of log cabin summerhouse will fit best into your garden space so make sure you factor costs into consideration when making a decision. Prices can range significantly based on size and materials so bear this in mind before buying anything!

Treating & Maintaining Your Log Cabin Summerhouse

Once you have selected the right log cabin summerhouse for your needs, it’s important that you treat it correctly with regular maintenance checks throughout its lifetime in order to keep it looking great year after year! Here are some tips:


Wood Treatment For Your Summerhouse

One important step is treating wooden surfaces with appropriate products such as timber preservatives or water repellents which help protect against rot or deterioration due to weather conditions like rain or sun exposure. Depending on where you live this may need doing every few years or more regularly if situated near coastal areas with higher levels of salt air corrosion risk factors present all year round!


Regular Checks & Repairs

Also consider performing regular checks for signs of damage such as cracks, splits or holes which need repairing quickly before they become bigger issues down the line! Taking care now helps ensure longer lasting enjoyment out of those special moments spent inside its walls whether alone or together with friends/family members alike…


Decorating Your Log Cabin Summerhouse

Now for arguably one of our favourite parts about owning a log cabin summerhouse - decorating! This part requires some creative thought but don’t worry we’ve got plenty ideas lined up here ready just waiting (almost) impatiently within…


Summerhouse Furnishings

Start by thinking comfort first when deciding on furniture pieces such as armchairs/sofas suitable either indoors or out depending upon preference/usage requirements; alternatively opt instead perhaps towards something more bespoke like cushioned bench seating tailored specifically towards exact measurements plus design specifications given beforehand?


Consider also incorporating smaller items like coffee tables/sideboards etc which might otherwise complete an overall finished look perfectly well suited besides living areas located both inside/outside respective surroundings too simultaneously whilst adding colour diversity through cushions/rugs scattered around strategically placed also perhaps alongside not forgetting any additional decorative features complimenting general ambience desired…


Lighting For Your Summerhouse

Then think about lighting fixtures - good ambient lighting sets off mood accordingly whether deliberately task focused like reading books during brighter hours time permitting; else romantic soft dimmed settings providing intimate atmosphere potentially idealised particularly settled evenings spent within its walls too! Both indoor/outdoor options exist so feel free to mix-n-match based on preference…


Accessories For Your Summerhouse

And lastly, don’t forget the accessories! These can be anything from hanging plants/flowers, artwork pieces or wall hangings suitable either inside/outside almost anywhere really as all contribute adding that extra special touch unique only to you/your log cabin summerhouse!
