Summer Houses

There are plenty of do-it-yourself log cabins on the market and you will find that most of them are very reasonable in price.

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 have always been popular, however, their popularity was challenged due to urbanization sweeping across the United States of America, and a quicker method of erecting a building was needed.

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

In the middle of the 18th century, elaborate log cabins began to be constructed, known as the Adirondack style of cabins.

There have been massive constructions of log homes in Eastern Europe and Scandinavia.

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

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

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.

Planning permission isn't normally needed for small log cabins as long as it is 5 meters away from the main property, does not exceed more than 50% of your total garden area and is less than 4 meters in height.
