Deluxe Garden Office Log Cabin 5.5m x 3.5m

Over the years, there have been many log cabins that have become favorites of the Public, and one of them is our Spacious Garden Office design.

Garden Offices became very popular after 2002, as many people stopped commuting into the cities and started working from home.

As the years rolled on they have become increasingly popular, we then saw this huge jump from log cabins into timber frame buildings.

One of the reasons for this was quality, insulation and durability!

Sadly, the little garden office stopped being the number one seller, and what replaced it was a very expensive, insulated shed, with upvc windows and doors. Internally clad with plasterboard.

So why are we highlighting the old garden office again.

Well! Simple its back and it’s back with the most amazing windows and doors that truly will keep mother nature out, plus it’s available in our twin skin option so insulating this amazing little garden office with a 44mm x 44mm twin skin will keep your toasty in the winter and cool in the summer.

If you find a design in our Deluxe Range of Log Cabins and you need some alterations, a bespoke design, please feel free to let us know, as we are here to help and its not a problem at all to redesign our cabin to suit your needs.

Our New Deluxe Garden Log Cabin Office is now the ultimate log cabin office in the business, if you want a quality building with quality windows and doors, CE approved, FSC timber, built by professionals, then our Deluxe Range of new log cabins is without doubt the best in the business.

Our Deluxe Range of Log Cabins will be available in 2016- January..

Log Cabins LV Deluxe Range 2016

quality log cabins, deluxe log cabins, log cabins, logcabin

Over the last 14 years log cabins have changed the way our gardens look, but are the log cabins offered good quality, how do you tell a great quality log cabin from a cheap and nasty massed produced one?

Simple if its not manufactured by us, its mass-produced.

In Jan 2016 Log Cabins LV will be offering our new Range of Deluxe Log Cabins.

Yes, I keep on harping on about the best quality windows and doors, and that we professionally spray them to any colour you wish!

Or that the manufacturing of these new deluxe log cabins are with out doubt top notch!

In addition, it has nothing to do with our timber quality; it’s the best of the best!

And that all the hardware is better than anything on a standard range of log cabins anywhere on the web!

What really makes these cabins amazing is the pricing!

There are German companies in the UK that sell very high quality log cabins, almost as good as ours but their pricing is ridiculously high.

If you want to purchase a log cabin that really does have the best windows and doors, engineered by skilled craftsman, and timber that really is a notch above the rest, then our Deluxe Range is worth waiting for.

Quality Log Cabins – Windows and Doors 2001-2016

amazing windows and doors in log cabins, log cabins LV

Quality Windows and Doors for the best log cabins in the world

garden log cabins-Old Windows and Doors – log cabins lv the number one for windows and doors.

New Year comes but once a year, and on Jan 1 / 2016 Log Cabins LV will offer the market a Fantastic, New and the most comprehensive range of log cabins ever to adorn any Log Cabins Website.

Our New Range of Deluxe Log Cabins are not just manufactured by skilled carpenters and machine operators, or that we manufacture using the finest of all lumber, and the only CE certified tilt and turn argon filled windows and doors, or that our double and single doors comes with an insulated plate, and that you get to choose your personal choice of colour, which is sprayed on, yes! sprayed on to the doors and windows free of charge! (yes for free)..

In this industry of ours, nothing comes free, not advice, quality or for that matter the wrapping that covers your log cabins when it’s delivered.

Why??? Some say its business! I am sure Lord Sugar would say that it is all about making money! Profit!

So how are we able to offer not just the best quality windows and doors ever offered as standard in any log cabin range by any manufacturer at such low costs?

How are we able to offer so much quality for so less!

Well! Its quality simple…. We look at every option, we look at how to manufacture a Quality Log Cabin so its structurally sound, we are manufacturers of Norwegian Log Cabins, Timber Frame Houses, Glulam Buildings, The most sought after Camping Pods , we have our own Truss Manufacturing Plant, and we also manufacturer our own Residential Windows and Doors, which are built under BM Trada and CE Certification.

Quite Simply Log Cabins LV stands for the high end of log cabins and we are the only one-stop shop, but more than that, we offer incredible quality and sincere honesty!

99.9.9% of log cabin manufacturers are only just that, log cabin manufacturers, they might dabble in thin and very under par timber frame buildings, which will not last the test of time, and are 100% not built to any kind of building regulation.

We build our timber frame buildings under TEK 15, which is the Norwegian build standard, which absolutely kills UK building regs for everything and more.

Our New Deluxe Range of Garden Log Cabins are not just the most superb ever-manufactured Log cabins, they are simply the best of the best!

Please have a Look at the photos attached, please notice that the quality of 2001 is the same quality offered by 99.9% of cabin companies today!

Please have a look at 2016, this is what our New Deluxe Range of Log Cabins come standard with!

Quality Windows and Doors are with out doubt the most important part of your cabin, if they are rubbish, cheap and poorly made, that tells you a lot about the entire cabin!

No one has bothered to change their windows and door quality, they do not design new products because why fix what is still selling, the public do not know the difference, and the public do not care, well! The public does care, and the public wants a fair price for a good product!

So when deciding to purchase any log cabin, timber frame building, camping pod, glulam log cabin, please ask for close us photos of exactly what you are getting. If it is cheap, then be prepared to pay twice.

Manufacturing quality windows and doors is not the only thing you need to look for.

Please ask the company you are thinking of purchasing from what else they manufacturer, or is it just garden cabins, no doubt they will all tell you they build houses etc. Ask for references.

We are the only company that actually has a show house on display in Poole in Dorset that is Passive, our ability to provide the customer with exactly what he wants makes us the only company in the UK that can actually provide everything under one heading, and that heading is log cabins LV.

In addition, what has come to our attention is that there are companies offering structural calculations with residential log cabins and timber buildings, if there is not a signature of a certified UK/Irish structural engineer (with his phone number , address and accreditations after his name) on the structural calculation sheet then it is a fraud, please be aware of this!

Log Cabins LV the Future of Quality!

Which Company was first to offer Log Cabins in to the UK market?

Easy …US! That’s Log Cabins LV!

Who were the first to manufacture and offer the market Twin Skin Log Cabins?

Easy …US! That’s Log Cabins LV!

Which company offered Log Cabins first with 28mm flooring?

Easy …US! That’s Log Cabins LV!

And what company has the largest range of log cabins in the world?

Easy …US! That’s Log Cabins LV!

We are responsible for so many firsts the list is nearly endless!

Log Cabins LV Now is going to seriously change the game face of the Log Cabin industry again.

And this time we will seriously tell the public what is worth buying and what is worth Burning!!

90% of Log Cabins sold on the Web are absolute Rubbish, that’s an under exaggeration, as most log cabins when finished are only fit for Bonfire Night!

What we have done is rethink our business strategy, and look at why cabins have a demise date of just 10 years!

All timber (Spruce-Pine) if treated will last 10 years easy!

There are companies offering a Ten Year Free Rot Guarantee to their Log Cabins, its like Blar, Blar, Blar, and what’s funny is that so many people read it and think its some sort of special timber!!

Its not!

Its just most do not understand that a (44mm log) off the ground, treated with some kind of basic stain, which is part of all companies T&C will last years and years!

However, what the company is not doing is offering you windows and doors that will last 2 years, never mind 10!

The History of the Log Cabin Market is still very much in its infancy for the UK.

Garden Log Cabin Sales really started some 13 years ago, for the first 2 years we found most people would still rather buy a garden shed that looked like it has been manufactured from pallet material, as this was predominantly what had adorned most gardens, and change was slow.

Sheds tend to leak and have a life span of 5 years if you are lucky! Moreover, the price for sheds were stupidly high, so when the public understood a log cabin was a better investment than some old shiplap shed change happed rapidly.

But sadly our endeavor to offer quality log cabins into the market, was over taken over by our German Brothers who manufacturer bulk rubbish in incredible MASS To service their huge market, UK got the over spill as most of the German gardeners only want boxes, not quality!

Then we found Romanian, Estonian and Lithuanian mills also manufacturing mass rubbish, which sadly led to a market war on Log Cabins, bring prices absurdly low with quality completely stripped from every fiber of every log in all cabin sales.

And as the market is so new, the public really does not understand the good, bad, or Ugly!

But thankfully the British Public Read! And the more they read the more they understand. And the more they understand the more they see through all the bullshit and realize that quality costs, and that purchasing a Bulk Log Cabin is folly!

Our Standard Range of Log Cabins are in their price band incredible value, but we have for years tried our hardest to come up with a way to still offer better and keep pricing low.

This is not simple task, as how to improve already great value?

We put a microscope to every inch of the cabin looking for a way to better engineer it, and we could only fault the windows and doors, they are amazing, but we believed there was and is room for improvement.

Which is why we are now offering not just fantastic windows and doors, I am guarantying that there is nothing as good on the market.

Our Windows are not just CE certified and BM Trada Certified, these Joinery timber hand made tilt and turn double glazed Argon filled windows and doors are the best the log cabin market has to offer! (And we spray them any colour you wish free of charge).

We believe the future of Log Cabins can and will change for the better, we are passionate about what we do and create, our new and improved log cabins will last longer than 99.9% of all other cabins, they do not cost the earth, and with our timber awareness and PFC – FSC certified timber they are also not destroying the eco system!

Deluxe Log Cabins 2016

Quality Residential Windows and Doors

Our New Superb Range Of Deluxe Log Cabins are not just the most over engineered Log Cabins in the market to date, they are the only Log Cabins that come with CE Certified Double Glazed Argon Filled Windows and Doors as standard.

Quality Double residential double glazed doors

The Best Doors in the log cabin industry

Our Double glazed Doors be they single or double are in fact the best Doors ever to be fitted as standard to a range of buildings-Log Cabins in this industry with out paying some absorbent price for upgrading.

If you will please look at the photos attached you will notice that the base of the door is unlike anything on log cabins at present, we have manufactured these CE certified doors with an insulated plate, not just some 28mm T&G floor boards, which 99.9% of companies offer.

quality log cabins and timber buildings from log cabins lv

quality windows and doors from lv log cabins

Also and this is very important!

In addition, if you look at the hinges on the doors you will notice that the quality of these doors hinges are extremely high, possibly the best in the industry, actually they are , “As these come standard, no upgrade needed”.

Most companies will offer better quality windows and doors, but here is the catch, they cost a staggering 500 pounds +++ for Residential Doors, and none of them offers insulated plates at the base.

We also Spray Paint Our New Deluxe Windows and Doors to your choice of colour!!!

We even go further to offer as standard an oak threshold at the base of all our doors for longevity and as these doors are all manufactured on the latest CNC machines they are fully water tight and extremely resilient to mother nature, also to those lazy feet that like to scuff thresholds!

Our New Range Of Deluxe Log Cabins for 2016 will not just be the best Log Cabin range on the market, the range of new Deluxe Log Cabins will encompass the under 2.5m permitted building regulation, and also our iconic cabins such as the Original 5.5m x 4m Clock House with its 8 windows and double doors, now available with the only tilt and turn double glazed CE approved windows and doors.

The New Deluxe Range of Log Cabins for 2016 will be offered in 44 mm, 58 mm,70 mm and 90 mm Thicknesses.

From Excellent Northern Siberian Spruce Logs.

Unlike many companies, we will not be using the cheaper, softer, younger Pine.

Our Frames on both our Windows and Doors are designed to be water tight are sculpted and fabricated to be super strong, but most of all they are designed to be of Residential quality. Residential quality windows and doors are not designed to be played with, they are manufactured by skilled carpenters that know what’s what and know how to make a door last the test of time, they are put together to be the best they can possibly be, the argon filled CE approved double glazed panes are mastitic into the framework so that leaking through the frames is never an issue.

This is done by only skilled craftsman, it is not something Joe Blog Public should ever attempt to do!

Which is why we are absolutely dumbfounded how companies in the UK ask customers to replace single sheet cheap glazing with double glazed units to upgrade their cheap framed windows and doors.? ( Window frames are also part of the U Value, so a cheap frame with double glazing added is still a cheap window) Hello? It actually tells us a lot about that company! I think cheap and cheerful comes to mind! But sadly the cheap upgrade is not so cheap, the fix is not so good, and the cabins windows and doors are not much quality!

I hate harping on about windows and doors and how most companies just offer rubbish, and that the longevity is really depending on the windows and doors to how long your log cabin will last the test of time!

I have been in this industry longer than 99.999% of people, I have seen people come and go. I have seen companies here one day and gone the next; I have seen sadly many people ripped off with not just awful log cabins, but absolute Crap.

I have personally been on a crusade to offer extremely original quality log cabin designs, at the lowest prices possible, sometimes its hard getting the best quality to the public at the right price, as there are so many companies that offer a lower grade log cabins that look identical to our designs, which confuses the public, and most people do not understand the difference in manufacturing quality, only price, and price should not be the only determining factor when it comes to purchasing a Large Heavy Log Building. You must first think about raw materials and the wasting of it, you should also think about structural integrity and lastly price….

As we say, buy cheap buy twice….

Remember these are the Best Standard Log Cabins on the Market!!

Please look out for the New Deluxe Range of Log Cabins, coming in 2016!!!

Quality Log Cabins from the Number One manufacturer in the World!

Log Cabins LV the number one for log cabins and timber buildings in the world.

Today (Sunday, yes I always answer the phone) I had an elderly woman on the from Cornwall telling me about her experience about trying to purchase a Log Cabin from Log Cabin Manufacturers. She had been trawling the websites for more that 4 months, looking for a log cabin that would suit her garden and the path she had running up from the house she was also looking for a log cabin that would comply to the under 2.5m rule.

I talked her through our extensive under 2.5m cabins, which took almost 2 hours, she then decided that none of the range would suit her needs, and asked me if Log Cabins LV could bespoke, tailor-made one of the TF log cabins for her.

We then spoke at length at how we would manufacture the cabin to suit all her needs and how long it would take to be delivered to her.

But the surprising part of the conversation was her knowledge on Log Cabins, and how she had pretty much read every word we have written on our website, she then commented on why she had picked us as for the supplier, but more importantly why she had nothing good to say about all the other companies.

She had asked a lot of the companies’ a few questions, and they all failed, were the Windows and Doors CE approved, everyone one said no, ours are, she also asked if the double doors were insulated, of course no one could say yes, as none of them are, ours are!

But what surprised me was that she had asked if the purlins were notched into the apex’s, of course everyone said yes, but we all know that’s a lie, we are the only company that actually notches our purlins into the apex’s making them water proof and tight! This is an expensive and difficult process to do and but Log Cabins LV offers not just quality, but quality of design.

The Cabin industry is full of many different grades of manufacturers; they all offer different products, different prices and different solutions to manufacturing.

How can you tell if you are purchasing a quality log cabin, well its quite easy, firstly if the company is selling any Log Cabins in 19mm, avoid that company immediately!

If the company is always having sales, using words like extended sales, ask yourself this question, why are their log cabins cheaper? Does it say about the mark up on their cabins, are they being honest through out the year, why are they selling their log cabins higher in the summer and then devaluing them in the Autumn?

So what really are you purchasing?

A Log Cabin worth 3000 pounds or a sale cabin worth 2400 pounds?

What kind of company devalues its stock? I know this is a harsh way of looking at other companies policies, but do Aston Martin have sales every Autumn, does Rolex devalue its stock coming to the end of the summer season?

The answer to this is no, why?

Because these coming manufacturer quality, and quality comes with amazing designs, and above all else, the worth factor!

Our Log Cabins are Worth More!

They truly are, and our prices should be higher, but because the average man does not understand a log cabin from a shed, and only see’s the price, and nearly everyone has copied our designs, its almost impossible for the public to distinguish quality from crap!

However, my well read Elderly Woman on phone this morning did, and she said that the only reason she would buy a log cabin from Log Cabins LV is that she knew she was purchasing a quality log cabin and not a mass-produced pile of Pooh! (her words).

I would like to add one more point to this topic of the true worth of log cabins.

There are companies in Germany, who manufacturer in Poland, and a particular company comes to mind that do not just sell log cabins for hundreds, but thousands and thousands. And are these cabins worth the money, the answer to this is no, but there are some out there that want to purchase what they think is a cut above the rest, well, they are also being fooled.

Our New Range of Windows and Doors are the BEST IN THE MARKET, we are the only company to actually notch our purlins into the APEX, and also we are the only company who offers any colour you wish your windows and doors to be sprayed free.

Plus we are the only company that is CE approved to manufacture 44mm Log Cabin tilt and turn argon filled double glazed windows and doors from quality JOINERY TIMBER.

Now this might sound like a load of hog wash to you, but remember this, windows and doors are really the life of the cabin, once they fail, so does the cabin, and we will guarantee ours for 2 years, no other company will offer this. Please ask our dealers regarding our new range of windows and doors. The best in the industry!

Log Cabins LV really is the only sensible choice.

Quality Log Cabin Windows and Doors-2016

Today I have a call from Mrs. Jones (not really her name) and she asked me some very serious questions about our Log Cabins windows and doors, as her husband had asked her to ring around and find out a few things.

Her first question was, how long would we give a guarantee, my answer to this question was, was she looking for our standard quality or our New Range of Deluxe CE approved windows and doors, she asked for the Deluxe Range, and I said 2 Years as long as the terms and conditions were adhered to, she asked me what did this entail and I said as long as little jonnie was not allowed to swing on the door, and that they were well oiled etc etc.

Did the windows tilt and turn, yes ours tilt and turn, using the professional system from Sweden, no mass produced chinese rubbish installed.

All our Window packages are professionally put into the frame using quality mastic and spacers.

She then asked what kind of glass was in the deluxe range, I said 26mm, argon filled . and manufactured by a certified CE mill.

She asked if the hinges were adjustable on windows and doors, I said yes, of course, and then she asked me did they come painted, I said yes, she asked what was the cost, I said it comes as standard. She laughed at this as another manufacturer had tried to charge her hundreds of pounds just for painting, as I told her, ours are not painted, but professionally sprayed and are done for free on all our deluxe range of windows and doors.

The next question threw me slightly, as she asked if there were any screws or nails showing anywhere in the construction of the windows and doors.

Her husband had obviously done his homework and did not want rust running down the facial boards after 6 months, I said that she was the first person ever ask me this, and No there were not nails, screws visible to human eye or mother nature for that matter.

I also added that every window and door was sprayed professionally.

I also told her that unlike some companies that asked you to change the double-glazing unit to gain a higher quality, our deluxe range of windows and doors were the best they could be.

In addition, our Windows and Doors are the only Log Cabin windows and doors in the industry that are CE approved.

She told me that she had spoken to a few companies and that they all said that no one offered spray painted windows and doors, free with the price. How wrong they all are.

Also we are the only company to offer doors from our Deluxe range with an insulated bottom plate, every other manufacturer offers just 28mm T&G.

Moreover, to top it off we put Oak thresholds on the bottom of the doors for longevity.

Our new deluxe range of log cabins, windows and doors, are not just amazing in quality, they are also amazing in price. Please speak to our dealers for more info. Please send us an email and we will put you in contact with the nearest dealer to you!

Log Cabins are you will see whilst you travel through the internet all look the same, they all have round about the same price tag, and none of the manufacturers even try to better their range all the time the public are buying them.

We at Log Cabins LV are always trying to manufacturer better quality buildings but at the same time keeping costs low. However, there are some people that want not just a run of the mill Log Cabin, they want the best, especially if it’s for a Office in the garden, or for an overnight stay for a member of the family, etc.

There are many companies out there, German, Polish, Latvian, Estonian, Lithuanian and Romanian that mass produce sadly absolute Rubbish, most of this ends up in Germany, France, Italy, Spain UK and Ireland.

Sadly the public see these cheap nasty cabins on EBay, or on the first pages of Google, Bing, Yahoo, and straight away think they are fantastic, because in so many peoples eyes, a cabin is a cabin, when in reality a cabin is not a quality log cabin if it’s from a bulk manufacturer, it’s rubbish! They leak, they twist, they normally are built using very young timber, pine or spruce, and to top it off the windows and doors are complete and utter crap!

A lot of manufacturers in the Baltic’s sadly have become bulk minded, as the owners and shareholders only want to see profit, not quality, and profit comes from volume.

This is where our work ethic is so different, we believe in manufacturing quality, slowly, each and every cabin is bespoke, as we have nothing in stock, so your Log Cabin was manufactured for you.. It has not stood outside for months on end, with 9 other cabins on top of it, waiting for someone to buy it, it’s freshly manufactured solely for you.

The LV brand is known for quality, not mass sales.

Most log cabin companies in the UK have up to 25 to 30% returns, we have zero.

To offer these new Deluxe Windows and Doors we had to purchase new machines, cutting blades, which are incredibly expensive and unique to us, argon filled window packages, also we had order in new joinery size timber as standard sizes would not fit wall log profiles, this was an expensive investment, but one that we believe is necessary so as to better the product!

We also had to look at pricing, yes our windows and doors cost slightly more than what’s on offer at present with standard log cabins, but!! Windows and doors really are the be all and end all of the life of a log Cabin, once they fail; the log cabin looks awful, lets in mother nature, and that pride and joy at the bottom of the garden becomes the eye sore you want rid of!

All log cabins are an investment, and when making any investment you want to know that your investment is going to last a long time, purchasing a LV Deluxe Log Cabin is a sure investment.

The sensible choice.

Log Cabins LV do not settle for less!

2016 Deluxe Log Cabins LV

Most Log Cabins look the same, prices for most are the same, and the materials used for construction are the same, or that is what the cabin industry wants you to believe.

However, the difference between our New Range of Deluxe Log Cabins for 2016 and what is available at present on the web is very much Chalk and Cheese!

70% of the cabin quality is very much the windows and doors, these determine very much the longevity of the log cabins life and in most cases windows and doors for standard log cabins offered on the internet are sadly lacking.

Log Cabins LV has for many years offered quality windows and doors to our log cabins from 44mm and above, tilt and turn double glazed as standard.

Now we are upping the game even higher, pushing the industry to see if they can follow and at our pricing. We are now not just offering our standard quality double glazed windows and doors, tilt and turn, we are now offering a far superior range of windows and doors with our new Range Of Deluxe Log Cabins for 2016.

Log Cabins LV were the first to offer Garden Log Cabins into the UK market, over the years we have tried monthly, yearly to offer better designs, keeping pricing down, and improving quality.

Our Standard double-glazed windows and doors are fantastic, but there is always room for improvement, there is always room for standards to raise and still keep prices as low as possible,

There is not one Log Cabin Company in the UK that is offering Residential Certified CE Double glazed Windows and Doors. As always, we are the first!

Also and this is a First, we will spray paint professionally all our Deluxe Log Cabin Windows and Doors, to your choice of colour!

All our doors come with a quality FSC approved Oak Threshold.

Please have a look at the photos attached, as you will notice there are no unsightly screws or nail on the fascia boards, inside or out, the tilt and turn mechanism is not a cheap “push this pull that” it’s a residential system, just turn the handle the CE certified window will open, or tilt and turn.

All our windows and doors are hand made from joinery pine, quality level is second to none!

Please look closely at how the Double Glazed CE certified units are mastic into the window and doorframes, this kind of Quality Level is never seen in the Log Cabin Industry!

Our Deluxe Windows and Doors are as always priced sensibly and will last twice as long as a standard log cabin window or door!

If you are looking for quality, longevity and sensible pricing, then the Deluxe Range of Log Cabins from log cabins lv should be your first and only choice!

Camping Pods Stoneleigh Park 2015

camping pods- glamping pods-glamping uk

Hi everyone, and apologizes for not doing or adding to my blog for a few days.

So what’s to talk about today? Log Cabins? Nop! Residential Buildings, Nop!

I think today I will talk about the Glamping Show, which was on last Weekend in Coventry.

Yep, I made the arduous and to be honest damn-right dangerous trip from Lithuania to my home land the UK… WOW! That island is full up and bursting at the seams!

OK…no politics here!

Let talk about the reason for my trip into the heartland of Queen and Country!

The Glamping Show in Stoneleigh Park was quite good , for its first year, I would say the turn out was very good. It was well laid out, and there were many different companies selling their products, not all glamping related, but mostly!

On arrival I must be honest and say I was spoilt for the choice of hot dogs, or good old fashioned English Pork and apple sauce in a bun, OK.. I pigged out a little!

So the LV troop, consisting of Keith and his amazing Family, all glamping, camping, Pod enthusiasts, and great sales team, and a few other undercover LV operatives descended into the Glamping show…

First Company we came on, I kept my mouth firmly closed, I am known for saying how it is, and if someone lies to my face, I have this tendency to call them a liar there and then!

Pod Company One, that’s what we will call them…

OK.. the sales man was very enthusiastic, he was what you would say, full of shit!

He lied about his product from the beginning of the conversation of Hi, to the end to Bye!

I am not very good at being force fed horseshit, but I kept my tongue firmly inside my mouth and just listened.

We were told that a Pine in 44mm timber from Siberia was enough to keep you snug and warm, because it was from Siberia! Imagine, it has nothing to do with the thickness of the timber to get high U values, it was because the timber had been felled in Siberia, also it was his best mate in the northernmost part of Russia that supplied him direct! Blar, blar, blar!

Then we must talk about Insulation, OH!! his pods were the best of the best, there was nothing on the market even close to his product, sadly his product was cheap and nasty, and made by a blind guy and his 2 legged dog in a desert!

Ok insulation, he was offering 19mm boards on the walls, with 50mm rockwool, then another 19mm and then tiles!

The windows and doors were not CE approved and we actually offer better with our Garden log cabins.

LOL…. sorry got to laugh, and his price tag for this amazing pod, was £6000 plus vat! Oh! plus transport! OH. plus plus plus… It came to a ludicrous price and was in all honesty not fit for purpose!

I will not mention the flat pack Pod, as it is a joke, and seriously cannot be a contender for Public Campsites.

In addition, there were Camping Pods in Kit Form, that went up and you could take them down, actually they were ####### Stupid and a waste of money! Single skinned and had light gaps between all the parts….

Then We came across, Camping Pod 2 manufacturer..

Now I was very, very impressed, and for me to offer that kind of entering statement I must have seen something of quality, as this pod was quality.

The internal part was great, the cladding was great, the roof had been manufactured solely in Larch, which seriously is not the best of ideas, but he will get a few claims and stop that as quickly as he started, but over all, amazing quality.

I introduced myself, LV baby, and we had a great chat, his company manufacturers garden offices, obviously not doing too well, and with his prices beyond the moon for the pods, he won’t last long!! (got to be competitive)..

Why is it that in the UK a 2.49m x 4.0m Pod manufactured in the UK costs to trade over £6.500, that’s just greedy, I mean seriously that’s ####### greedy!

Trade prices for a camping pod that is a front entrance (we call the cave) should cost no more than 4500 Euros. This for orders of over 10 pods.

Next Camping Pod 3 manufacturer.

OK.. Once again amazing. And I mean it was seriously ####### amazing. The quality of this camping pod was top notch! And that was it’s fault, it was too good.

The Camping Pod was manufactured from plastic, ply and all things that last an eternity. And the asking price for it started at £25.000, plus vat , plus transport.

As I said the quality was amazing, I could not fault anything, apart from the vanity top, that looked like a kitchen top had been used, however, the shower, the windows and doors, the toilet, etc was great, but at £25.000, plus vat , plus transport it should be!

Glamping, Camping should be a mixture of the great outdoors, warmth, security and using materials that blend into the forest, or fields, mountains, streams, lakes etc, it’s not supposed to be a motel room feeling! It’s Camping…

Also to get a return on a unit that costs 25.000, would take a few years! By then, they are old and used!

The happy medium is Camping Pods by LV.

So what are my over thoughts on the show, well to be honest there were companies there that really tried to offer the public a quality building. But I seriously doubt any of them will be around in years to come, their pricing is too high and speaking honestly, their manufacturing ability to offer the market quantities of their products is limited.

One reason we are always picked over the rest is that our quality is top notch, our pricing is way below that of any other manufacturer and our ability to manufacture over 200 pods a year puts us to number one in the industry.

We have manufactured the most expensive Five Star pods costing a whooping 175.000 Euros, to the largest camping pod parks of over 100 camping pods per park designed for children. We are actually the most successful mass manufacture of Camping Pods in the industry!!

OK… enough about us, what about you?? How can we help you???

quality windows and doors log cabins, the best windows and doors in the market,

An Unbeatable price for unbeatable quality!

When trawling the Internet looking for that garden log cabin office, or a new gym, or just a room in the garden, its very confusing whom to purchase from as most websites look the same and offer the same.

So how do you tell utter crap from amazing quality?

The Log Cabin industry was born in the UK 15 years ago when we offered our Super Star 5m x 5m in 40mm. these were the very first log cabins to be sold in the UK, and as the first manufacturer and wholesaler of log cabins we tried our very best to offer a quality cabin for a reasonable price.

Sadly with in 4 years we saw a massive influx of other manufacturers that were supplying the German and French market, flood the UK with cheap nasty badly manufactured log cabins. These cabins are in mass everywhere!

Its easy to spot these cabins, they are boring to look at, they have no character, the windows and doors which make up 70% of the quality of the cabin, are poorly manufactured and are thin framed cheaply glazed units, and their log cabin designs in their small ranges are lacking in focus and longevity!

That is a damming report on the market, but its completely true!

What’s New !!

Log Cabins LV today is upping the benchmark on Log Cabin Quality, knowing no other manufacturer can OFFER what we are about to!

Spray Painted CE Certified Residential Windows and Doors!

We have upped our game and are now the only company offering Residential Windows and Doors with all our 44mm and above as standard.

And that’s not all, we will also SPRAY PAINT them for you what ever colour you want for the Same Price!

Talk about putting the cat among the pigeons, this is a game changer, and its only Log Cabins LV that are willing to offer so much more for so much less!!!

Log Cabins and Not So Log Cabins!!!!

logcabin-log cabins- cabins

It truly makes us laugh when mass manufacturing mill’s blog how great their windows and doors are, when in reality they are absolutely crap!

Today we are announcing a completely new range of what we will term as excellent Log Cabins to be offered in 2016, our new range will be offering not just the best windows and doors in the market, but unlike a few German companies we could mention, our pricing will be realist and fair!

Companies who sell log cabins direct to the public, will be aware that most (99.9%)

of the public do not know the first thing about log cabins, and because of this their sales technique’s are almost on a criminal level.

Mass Produced Log Cabins are Crap, and when I mean crap, I mean absolute fodder for bonfire night!

If you are looking for a quality log cabin, just say a 44mm 5m x 5m under 2.5m high, then its quite easy to spot a mass produced log cabin, or a quality log cabin.

Firstly see how many on sale signs they have on their website. Look out for Big Summer Sale, this means loads of stock made last winter and we need to shift it quick, or free guttering, why free if the cabin is great quality? Timber is timber, and quality timber is not cheap, unless the quality of the timber your cabin is manufactured from is very poor! Or maybe the windows and doors are cheaply made, thinner purlins, and rubbish hardware, which is more likely the case! And never forget …Missing Bits, lots of missing parts!!!

It is pathetic how companies use a carrot to entice what they think is the donkey to the slaughter house!!

Why is it that all mass-produced cabins have this attached to all products RRP 5000 SAVE 400 NOW 4600?

If the cabin is worth £5000, then why sell it at £4600 unless its worth £4.600.

Why is it that most people think others are stupid? Especially when they want to take your hard earned money?

At Log Cabins LV we prefer to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so if you are looking for a quality log cabin, if you really do not want to be ripped off from both sides of the coin, then call the company that was the first to offer Log Cabins into the UK, That has designed more quality log cabins than all the other companies put together!!

Please look out for our new Range!!!

Log Cabins LV is the only leading light in the Log Cabin Industry!!!

Beware of LV Log Cabin Copies!!!!

Beware of copies!

Too many companies are proclaiming to sell our log cabins, when in fact they are selling copies of ours that are cheap and unsafe.

At logcabinslv.co.uk we only manufacture quality log cabins. We do not offer massive discounts; we do not have sales on daily, monthly or weekly!

We are too busy and every log cabin is built to order.If a company has stock, they are bulk manufacturers, we are not! Your cabin in essence is made just for you!

We hand pick our dealers with care! Log Cabins LV cares about its customers, you are not just a sale!

If you do not see our LV brand on the images, photos of the website you are looking to purchase from, then the company concerned are not part of our LV trusted dealer network. Please send us an email if you are unsure, and we will call you back to help you find the best person to help solve your needs.

Secondly if you are told by some low life back street seller that they can obtain an LV Log Cabin, but cheaper, then you know they are conmen/woman and best to keep clear of them immediately!

Please report them to us, so we may then add their name in our blog and make sure other unwitting members of the public do not fall foul of their cons!

We have heard that there is some man and his dog operating out of a pigsty in the middle of Kaunas Lithuania offering our DF log cabin range at a reduced rate, once again beware! Cheap versions always mean trouble, missing bits, bad timber, cracked wood, awful windows and doors, and no guarantees….

Buy cheap, buy twice!

Please call us if you feel unsure whom you are buying the Log Cabin from and we will of course help you find a dealer that will help you through any problems you may have!

Camping Pods LV 2015

While browsing the internet looking for quality camping pods, I have noticed that there are only two or three companies out there in the manufacturing world able to actually produce a quality camping pod fit for the public use..

Sadly all there seems to be is a mass of shed like structures that try and resemble our unique design, and they fall short in so many areas. I intend to list these so you can actually see what I see.

Firstly, what bright spark came up with the idea of only coating the roof with just timber? If timber were the ideal product for roof covering, then why is it there are no dwelling houses up and down your street with timber roofs? I am not talking about cedar shingles, which in all honesty are aesthetically pleasing, but useless for long-term use, I am speaking about planks, 28mm planks? T&G 28mm planks, that are actually useless.

So keep away from Camping Pods, which have just sawn plank roofs, they leak, twist, crack and split, and for long-term use, useless and a waste of money!

Next, camping pods that have a wall thickness of 28mm, or 44mm, these are not camping pods, they are barrels /sheds, made for children to play in, and that’s it, no more no less! They do not come with CE approved windows and doors, they come with cheap garden type, which are not fit for or can be used for tourism (safety first).

Also cheap camping pods do not come with toughened glass or are designed to be roughly treated, these are the perfect example of blame and claim! Plus these kind of cheap camping pods have little or no insulation properties.

So if you are thinking of throwing your money away, then this is the way to go!

Camping Pods from log cabins LV are not just the best camping pods on the market they are also the most versatile.

We are the only company in the camping pod market to offer complete parks; we are able to offer staff timber frame accommodation which will conform to building regs, drying rooms, toilet and shower buildings, and staff pods.

We are very proud to have been picked to supply Manor a Adventure Children’s Adventure Holiday company with the largest two parks in existence with over 100 pods per park, we feel that if you can trust a company to deliver quality, in bulk numbers it must be us!

So why are our camping pods so versatile.

Cheap camping pods are built very rudimental.

A lot of cheap camping pods look great from the outside, aesthetics being the number one point of sale for these kind of camping pods, but all that sparkles is not gold, and if you know what to look for, you will notice that they are built poorly, and are built to maximize profits also very little consideration is given to longevity or strength.

Our Camping Pods are not just amazing to look at, they are amazing to the core of there graded, KD C24 FSC timber frame shell.

Our double glazed windows and doors are not just fantastic, with built in micro openings, and tilt and turn quality hardware, also the CE approved double glazed toughened glass door, or the Northern Siberian Larch, and the glulam bulks, or the steel tiled roof which is guaranteed for 40+ years, or the way we are able to join pods together, I could go on and no, Camping Pods by LV are the best in the business, and they are the only Camping Pods that make sense when you compare like for like and price for price.

Do not settle for less!
