Log cabins are constructed from individual logs that interlock at the corners, and they are trusted for their structural rigidity and their ability to stay warm throughout the year thanks to the naturally insulating qualities of the timber.

Log Cabin Kit

Our self-assembly log cabins are delivered in parts to be put together at your home. With these DIY log cabin kits, each log must be individually installed, slotting together with tongue and groove fittings and crossing over at the corners. This provides the distinctive corner appearance that is definitive of a log cabin. We provide clear instructions to guide you through the process, and all you will need are some basic DIY tools and one other person to help. Building your log cabin is not only easy, but fun, too.

To give you an idea of how this will go, read our guide on how to build a log cabin.

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.

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.
