When buying a new log cabin for a second home, you have the option of working with a design team to alter the floor plans to suit your individual requirements, and you can chose your own décor.

A summerhouse can really provide a touch of elegance and grace to your garden.

The very first log cabins in the United States were built by the Swedes approximately around the year 1638 in the area that has come to be known as Wilmington, Delaware.

The modern version of a log cabin is the log home which is a house built most often from premilled logs.

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

Nowadays, log cabins are used in addition to the main house. Some people use their log cabin as a holiday home and they are usually designed in the traditional rustic house style, native to America.

Do you want a second home but you think you can’t afford it? Think again, because a log cabin could be the answer.

The Homestead Act of 1862 influenced the design of America's log cabins. The Act gave "homesteaders" rights to open land, but required that they cultivate it and build homes at least ten by twelve feet in size, with at least one glass window.

If you are thinking you want to build a log cabin, then you should seriously consider a log cabin kit which should cost less and take less time to finish.

The most modern type of cabin is the modular log cabin. They are built with modular log cabin kits similar to the assembly of automobiles. The kits are made in factories and then delivered to the proposed site where it will be assembled. It is quick and easy to assemble.
