Why choose a garden log cabin? Build the perfect garden room or home office
More people than ever are choosing to make the most of their garden space by adding a Log Cabin.
Whether you’re looking for a home office, a shelter for your hot tub, a garden pub or just a garden room that you can sit and relax in, a log cabin provides a stylish and practical addition to any home.
A log cabin is perfect if you want to extend your living space without investing in an extension and can provide a functional space that you’ll want to enjoy all year round.
In this blog, we’ll look at the top reasons to add a log cabin to your home.
1. A cost-effective way to expand your living space
Looking for somewhere you can work from home in peace? Or a playroom to send the kids out to? Or just somewhere to entertain friends and family or relax? A log cabin offers the perfect solution. A house extension can be expensive and messy but a log cabin provides you with a quick, cost-effective way to add extra space to your home. Plus, the beauty and warmth offered by natural timber will add an extra touch of style to your home.
Our Leipzig log cabin (5x4m) is a traditional style cabin that offers plenty of space to expand your home as well as adding a point of interest to your garden.
2. Tailor your log cabin’s use to your lifestyle
The beauty of installing a log cabin is the flexibility it provides. A high-quality timber log cabin can adapt as your lifestyle or needs change. Here are some popular ways our customers have chosen to use their log cabins:
Our Annabel log cabin (5x4m) is perfect for use as a home office or studio without intruding on your home or garden.
3. Range of options
At Tuin, we know that every garden is different and every homeowner has different needs. That’s why our range of log cabins includes a variety of sizes, shapes and roof styles. Whether you’re looking for a small log cabin, a corner log cabin or a residential log cabin that provides even greater flexibility, we’ve got something for every outdoor space.
A log cabin provides you with a blank canvas. Many customers stain or paint the outside of their cabin to suit their taste and match the style of their home. They also add features like decking, lighting and cosy interiors to create a personalised retreat.
Our Jutka log cabin (6.8m x 6.8m) is a highly versatile option. Why not create a cosy garden room with somewhere to both shelter your hot tub and provide a separate outdoor cooking and dining area?
4. Built to last from high-quality timber
Our log cabins are made from slow-grown spruce. This type of timber grows in colder climates resulting in a dense, tight grain that’s stronger and less prone to warping or splitting than other types of timber.
Each log cabin is made purely from spruce wood and is designed to handle the natural expansion and contraction of wood throughout the seasons, providing you with a long-lasting and durable log cabin. You can find out more about why we choose spruce in our blog: The best timber for log cabins and garden buildings: Why Tuin chooses slow-grown spruce over pine & cedar.
5. Somewhere to enjoy all year round
A well-built and insulated log cabin provides you with a year-round retreat that you can enjoy whatever the weather. With proper treatment and insulation, your cabin becomes a space that you can use comfortably. Many of our customers add electric heaters and rugs to create a warm, inviting retreat in the colder months. It’s the perfect spot to sit and watch your garden change with the seasons, without worrying about the inclement British weather.
Our Emma corner log cabin (3x3m) provides the perfect space to relax and enjoy your garden whilst being tucked away in the corner of your garden.
6. Exempt from planning permission
You should always check that you don’t require planning permission for a log cabin but, in most cases, it is not required. This makes it a much easier way to add extra living space to your home than an extension.
