The modern types of log cabins are called the log home. These are usually made of milled logs. The interior and exterior of the log home are visible.

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

Milled lumber is the most common type of roofing for a log cabin. The roofs are usually covered by either cedar shingles or skip sheeting. The purlin roof and rafter roof are also popular.

You will find that different log cabins will be built with logs that vary in thickness, which provides a different appeal.

William Henry Harrison made use of log cabins, along with the "Whigs" to show to the Americans that he was a people's man.

Two common styles of log cabins, classified on the basis of the style of their roofs, are the purlin style and the gable style.

Log cabins have been around for thousands of years. They are commonly associated with the United States of America and remain popular in today's modern world.
