People look for log cabins for many reasons. Some are looking for residential log cabins
buy a log cabin kit to build in their own garden or field.
New log cabins are available from garden building suppliers in sizes up to 30 feet square, with two floors. One of these would make the perfect starter home for a son or daughter who are struggling to find a lender willing to give them a mortgage.
A large, single floor log cabin is ideal as a garden office or studio. You can include a bathroom, double-glazing and heating to make your escape a comfortable one.
Any garden log cabin can be pressed into use as guest accommodation when you have family gatherings. Families naturally become larger and more complicated and if you want them to visit then providing sleeping room is a must. If you need more bedrooms because your children are older you can find log cabin extensions that are indistinguishable inside or outside from the bricks and mortar variety.
If you have enough land and want to help out a son or daughter who is ready to leave home then consider building a log cabin home for him or her. It will be just as warm and cozy as a traditional home and can come with three or four bedrooms if you buy a large model.
Once you have an idea of the range of timber buildings that are available you can talk to suppliers about customising one of their standard buildings or a bespoke building. They will help you with a custom design log cabin or extension, just as an architect would help with a traditional extension.
Log cabins are available to suit absolutely any use from a hot tub in your yard to garden office. Luxury log cabins can cost £40,000 or more, but the options are endless, from a Jacuzzi to air conditioning and central heating.
