I’m always being asked what’s the most needed accessory for a log cabin and I tell customers the usual:
- Treatment – This can’t be overlooked, without this you won’t have a cabin worth keeping in a few years and you may also experience a few problems with it if overlooked – Log Cabin Treatment
- Shingles – Without these it just looks really rubbish, felt shingles really does set a log cabin off – Free Offer Shingles
- Roof shingle glue – This I always recommend for the ridge and especially if you are in an exposed area. My most favourite review on the site said about the glue: ‘The stickiest thing since Sticky the stick insect got stuck on a sticky bun!’ and yes it really is very sticky – Felt shingles Glue
After these three it then gets very building and need specific. You may want a floor, some supports for the canopy posts, maybe an extra window or doors, perhaps you want to add an internal wall, pressure treatment, maybe you want a posh finial etc.
All of our accessories can be found here: Log Cabin Accessories some of the major ones may already be on the drop down list of the log cabin you are looking at.
I always forget about our annexes though so I’m writing this to show you but also to remind myself we have them, they’re at the top of the pages and I think as customers and myself whiz down the pages for a log cabin they’re looking for we both miss these handy accessories.
Log Cabin with a Storage Shed:
Some of our best selling log cabins have a shed adjoining them, buildings like the Agnes corner log cabin:
Agnes corner log cabin with a storage shed to the side in 45mm wall logs
We have several of these buildings, they’re very popular and very handy indeed, here’s another one – The Lukas:
The Lukas log cabin with a shed integrated into it. Extremely handy and many customers love it’s practical nature of design.
My other personal favourite is the Wolfgang log cabin, this has been a long standing best seller:
The 45mm Wolfgang log cabin with a shed to the side and a delightful front porch.
So bearing in mind we have lots of best sellers with a shed to the side we really should cater more for this shouldn’t we?
Maybe more buildings featuring them? Except – I forget we do!
Log Cabin Annexe – Shed Extension
This is the accessory, the must have one I sometimes forget about and I know customers overlook as they whiz through our pages. It’s a very handy little annexe you can bolt onto your log cabin. Even if you didn’t buy your log cabin from us:
A shed extension you can add to any log cabin, we have them in 28mm or 45mm thick wall logs.
We have these annexes, or shed extensions for your log cabins in two sizes. Either a 28mm thick wall log or a 45mm one:
Versatile Extension for your Log Cabin
The lovely part of this accessory for your log cabin is that is can turn it into a completely different building, it becomes very practical and you have the best of both worlds, a shed and a summerhouse. Here’s some nice examples of the shed extension in use
This is a nice use of the log cabin shed extension, this customer has put it on the back of our Asmund Corner Log Cabin and turned a simple building into something a little more special:
The Asmund corner log cabin with a shed extension log cabin accessory to the rear of the build.
I think this one is really nice, it’s totally changed the look of a standard log cabin. This cabin is the Johan, here’s a picture in it’s standard build:
Johan log cabin in it’s standard build in 34mm logs, a lovely building as it is and very practical.
I like it as it is. However when we add an annexe it transform it into something else with more potential and more uses:
Log cabin shed extension, you can have this in two sizes in either 28mm or 45mm thick wall logs and two sizes.
The log cabin shed extension annexes are a nice addition. This annexe is a simple solution and worth considering as perhaps one of the most important log cabin accessories.
