Summer House Planning Permission

In Europe, modern log cabins are often built in gardens and used as summerhouses, home offices or as an additional room in the garden.

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.

Log cabins are definitely a favorite, beautiful and whimsical as they are. When you build with log cabin kits, they cost less and take less time to finish.

Inside the log cabin, special attention should be given to stains and water infiltrations. The most likely places that will be affected by water infiltrations are support beams that run through the wall. Water can seep into walls if these support beams are not tightly sealed. This can easily lead to rot and insect infestation.

Garden buildings remain popular in modern gardens but their use tends to be more functional than aesthetic.

Building your own log cabin as a second home gives you the option to erect your log cabin wherever you want (subject to planning permission).

Around the 1800’s small log cabins met the basic requirements of a home, and one could be constructed in as little as a few days using some very basic tools.

However, if you have any doubts or live in a conservation area or a listed building, you should contact your local planning office.

Summerhouses are a great centre for outdoor activity and relation as well as being a haven away from home in your own garden.

Log cabins can be diverse in their design, quality of build and workmanship. When you build your own log cabin, make sure you satisfy yourself that it is going to be suitable for your needs.
