Summer House Plans

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

Scandinavian countries, Germany, as well as Russia, were at the forefront of log cabin construction in the olden days.

When you build a log cabin, whilst it will be an investment in time, money and effort, you will be able to enjoy and appreciate your log cabin over many years and probably generations.

There was a time in the 1800’s when log cabins were very basic and very cheap, but in today’s world log cabin prices can be a bit expensive.

There are also a lot of luxury cabin homes that were constructed. During the middle of 1980, around 15,000 log cabins/houses were sold every year.

The best log cabins now have double glazing.

Log cabin homes can be built with earth floors. However, people use foundations to keep out the dampness from the soil and also to make additional storage or cellar underneath the cabin.

Gone are the days when log cabins had dirt floors and no utilities. Today’s log cabins can be as comfortable as your own home; with insulated walls, tiled roof, full central heating, and double glazed windows.

Another consideration is the source of the logs and the labor required to build the structure. If timber is not enough in the area, then the size of the log cabin is usually smaller.

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