13 October 2022

Log cabins could easily be described as the ‘kings’ of garden buildings. Strong, stable and imposing, log cabins’ majestic presence gives the impression that they were built to rule the nation’s gardens. And, like with anything held in such high regard, garden cabins haven’t earnt their reputation by accident…

When you buy a log cabin, you’re investing in a garden building that will bring you a huge number of benefits, for decades to come. Let’s take a look at some of those benefits right now, as we explore the 10 Fantastic Reasons to Buy a Log Cabin Garden Building.

1. Log Cabins Make Ideal Garden Offices

If you work from home, a log cabin garden office is an absolute must. A dedicated workspace, suitable for use the whole year round, a log cabin is free from distractions, makes for a nicer working environment, ensures greater productivity, provides a happier work/ life balance, and portrays a far more professional image to clients.

2. Log Cabins Make Perfect Garden Retreats

A log cabin also offers you the perfect garden room in which to relax. Whether this involves spending quality time with your family, indulging in your favourite hobby, or simply putting your feet up with a glass of wine and a good book, a garden cabin fits the bill perfectly every time.

3. Log Cabins for Outdoor Entertaining

All garden parties need a focal point, and what sets a log cabin apart from other garden buildings and structures is that it provides one suitable for use the whole year round. Buy a garden log cabin and there’s no need to stop entertaining your friends when autumn sets in – no, you can become the garden party host with the most over Christmas and New Year too.

4. Garden Cabins Increase Property Value

When you buy a log cabin, you’re investing in a permanent garden structure, which instantly becomes part of your home. Like an extension, but far more attractive, a garden cabin increases the value of your property. So, should you ever come to sell, you will be in a position to get back more than your initial investment.

5. Log Cabins Can Provide Rental Income Too

Everyone likes to save money and have greater independence when they’re spending time away from home. These are two of the reasons why small, privately-owned, short-stay rentals are soaring in popularity. Regardless of where you live, there is sure be a demand for overnight accommodation in your area. As a log cabin offers an extremely attractive room for guests, it can provide you with a very tidy rental income.

6. Garden Log Cabins Are Cheaper Than Extensions

If you want to increase your living space, buying a log cabin has several advantages over building an extension. Not only is it far more aesthetically appealing, a garden cabin is quicker to construct, much cheaper, less complicated by regulations, and less disruptive to both you and your neighbours.

7. Log Cabins Are Energy Efficient

Logs are natural insulators, so they slow the transfer of heat between the garden building’s interior and exterior. This works two ways. Firstly, it prevents log cabins getting excessively hot in summer, saving on air conditioning. Secondly, it keeps them warm during winter, which saves on heating. With energy prices rising, this is welcome news for owners of log cabins.

8. Log Cabins Are Environmentally-Friendly Garden Buildings

Wood is renewable and recyclable, making it an exceptionally environmentally-friendly building material. What’s more, wood removes more CO2 from the atmosphere than is added by its manufacture into a garden building, something that cannot be said for other building materials.

9. Log Cabins Ooze Aesthetic Appeal
