Building A Summer House

Even a shed can be subject to planning permission or building regulations, if it is used to house human activity.

Today, Americans are still rediscovering and improving the natural lifestyle and designs of log cabins.

Building your own log cabin relies heavily on the location. The site should be home to adequate sunlight and the ground should be flexible enough for a good drainage.

There are two types of log homes, the handcrafted log homes and the milled log homes.

To maximize the life and maintenance of your summerhouse it’s recommended that you don’t have trees or shrubs overhanging it.

The majority of the log cabins that were constructed in the 18th century in the United States are no longer around as many fell into disrepair.

In the European countries, modern type log cabins are usually built near gardens and are used for home office and summer houses.

We all think of garages as being concrete or brick. But a log cabin garage is infinitely nicer, warmer, better smelling and more comfortable.

The most contemporary use for garden buildings is indeed as garden offices.

Most log cabins before were built with logs horizontally laid and connected at the ends with notches. Some use nails instead of notches, but the latter is still better.
