What is a Log Cabin?

A Log Cabin or garden cabin is a garden building constructed from thick timber walls or log cladding. They are robust buildings that add extra living space and functionality to your home, with multipurpose designs that allow for a range of uses.

Log cabins come in all shapes and sizes, with a variety of features to choose from. They make ideal home offices, studios, and workshops - but are equally great at being a place for you to unwind. With insulated models allowing you to make use of them all year round, a cabin can bring an extra dimension to your home.

Do You Need Planning Permission for a Log Cabin?

Our buildings will fall under 'permitted development' and shouldn't require planning permission. This is so long as they:

  • Are single-storey
  • Aren't intended for permanent residential use
  • Don't exceed a max eaves height of 2.5m
  • Don't exceed an overall height of 4m (dual-pitched roof like an apex or -reverse apex). Or 3m (any other type of roof, like a pent)
  • Don't take up more than 50% of your garden area
  • Aren't built past the front wall of your house

All our BillyOh log cabins are built with these measurements in mind. For more information, talk to our customer service team.

Log Cabin Insulation for a Comfortable Garden Room

If you want to create a luxury log cabin, you might think about insulating it. Insulated log cabins will stay warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Better control the inside temperature of your garden cabin and protect all points of your building's 'thermal envelope'.

But what if you want an insulated log cabin without all the hassle of doing it yourself? You can always take a look at our BillyOh Outpost. It comes with EcoQuilt insulation in the roof, floor and walls as well as thick double glazing.

How Much is a Log Cabin?

The cost of a garden log cabin depends on a number of variables. The size of the building, the thickness of the cladding, which features it has as well as the price of timber all affect the cost of the building. However, a small model will start around the price of just over £1,000, with cabin sheds slightly cheaper. Prices for larger and pre-insulated cabins range up to and beyond £5,000.

FAQs

Unfortunately we are not able to offer an installation service with any of our garden buildings. However, our log cabin kits are designed for simple self-assembly, where only basic household tools and one other helper are required.

If you require help with installation, you can of course hire a builder to help you, or other 3rd party sellers of our buildings might offer an installation service.

If you're not sure about building the log cabin yourself, read our information on building a DIY log cabin or paying for installation.

Unfortunately, since the COVID-19 pandemic, we do not have a showroom open to the public.

Types of Log Cabins

There are many different types of garden cabin for you to choose from, with some crossover where a building can come under multiple categories. We have prefabricated log cabins in both modern and more classical styles, to match any type of garden.

Log Cabin Summer House

A Log cabin with large windows can be used as a summer house. The traditional use of a log cabin summerhouse is to relax with a good view of the garden, perhaps with some food and drink, sheltered and away from any wind. Throw open the doors to embrace the heat of a warm day, or retreat with the doors closed to enjoy the garden in comfort if the weather turns. Check out our range of log cabin summer houses.

Log Cabin Shed

If storage is what you’re looking for, a log cabin shed might be the right choice. Rather than a basic shed, these buildings retain the attractive looks, sturdiness and warmth of a log cabin. Many of them also offer enough space to be used as workshops for your DIY projects. Browse our log cabin sheds range.

Corner Log Cabins

If you’re thinking about putting your log cabin in the corner of your garden, these are the models for you. Tucking neatly into the corner to save space, some of these buildings present wide, diagonally-facing entrances, while others allow you to choose which side the doors and windows will be on. Too see if these are right for you, browse our range of corner log cabins.

Log Cabin Office

Working from home? How about working from the garden? More and more people are finding it useful to take their work out of the house and into a garden cabin to improve their focus. This is also perfect for people who are running their own business or meeting customers, maintaining privacy outside the main house, making it the perfect investment for a working professional.

Log cabins also make excellent photography studios, hair salons, or pet shelters. Or you could use it for more leisurely purposes, like a gaming room or a garden gym. The possibilities are endless.

To see the log cabin kits that are ideal for this purpose, check out our garden offices.

Insulated Log Cabins

The naturally insulating qualities of wood make our log cabins already some of the warmest garden buildings on the market. However, if you are planning to use your garden cabin all year round, you will want it to be fully insulated, which will make it nearly as warm as your house. Browse our range of insulated garden rooms.

If an insulated garden cabin is too much, you can also achieve extra warmth by selecting a thicker timber cladding in the options on the product page. We offer thicknesses of 11mm, 28mm and 44mm. For the warmest options, browse for a 44mm log cabin.

Log cabin playhouses for kids

Some of our outdoor play houses come with a log cabin style of build. Treat your children to the cosiest type of playhouse, available in both classic Wendy house and modern styles.

Treating your log cabin

All log cabins require a preservative treatment in order to protect the timber from the weather and to be eligible for our guarantee. To make this more convenient, most of our log cabins are available to be purchased with pre-applied pressure treatment - look at our range of treated log cabins to see the selection.

Pressure treatment is much longer lasting, giving you many years without needing to worry about maintenance and extending the BillyOh Guarantee to 15 years. For more information on how this works, read all about pressure treatment.

Without pressure treatment, you will need to paint your cabin with preservative annually (we recommend during warmer seasons, in time for autumn).

Log cabin sizes

A small log cabin can be a compact 8 by 8 feet, which can be plenty if it is being used as an office or a summerhouse for a small number of people. Log cabin sheds can be even smaller than this if needed. At the larger end, log cabins are available up to 16 by 14 feet, which equates to around 20 square metres.

One of the most popular sizes is a 10x8 log cabin, which provides ample space for all manner of uses, from storage to a gym, without breaking the bank.

Log Cabin Prices

Our log cabins start from around £1,100, but they can be lower during times of a special offer. If you need to budget carefully for your new building, check out our range of cheap log cabins, and also explore our finance options below.

We chose this building as it’s perfect for our garden. We chose Garden Buildings Direct for the great price - and you can pay monthly.
Kerry's Tianna Log Cabin Summerhouse
Kerry's Tianna Log Cabin Summerhouse
It looks good but is practical. Also, the style of it was a big reason, it's far more modern looking with the flat style roof and double doors than a traditional shed.
Jennifer's Winchester Log Cabin
Jennifer's Winchester Log Cabin
We chose this building due to its size - it was the largest log cabin on the market at the time. It’s definitely changed the view that we have at the bottom of the garden and has somehow made the garden look a lot longer and wider.
