Beyond the Garden Shed: Discovering What Bespoke Log Cabins Can Really Do!
Say “log cabin”, and most people picture a cosy holiday getaway tucked into the woods, or maybe just a garden shed crammed with old tools and bikes. Those are the obvious uses, sure, but honestly, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Modern, custom-built timber cabins can do so much more. In a world where space costs a premium and everyone’s juggling work, family, and downtime, a bespoke log cabin isn’t just another building out back. It’s a game-changer. It can totally reshape how you live, work, and relax.
At Factory Cabins, we’ve learned that “cheap and cheerful” only works until the weather turns nasty or the insulation gives up. Real value comes from building something that lasts — something precise, adaptable, and tough. That’s why we use winter-cut, slow-grown Swedish spruce, glulam windows, German hardware, and twin-skin construction. These cabins stand up to the elements like proper brick houses but still feel warm and natural. And when you throw out the design rulebook? Honestly, you can build almost anything you can imagine.
Home Offices and Creative Studios, Your Way
With remote work now the norm, garden offices have exploded in Kent, Sussex, and everywhere else. But those generic prefab pods? They often fall short. They usually miss the details that matter — like proper soundproofing, good airflow, or enough power for all your gear. A made-to-measure log cabin gives you total control.
Picture a music studio where you can actually play drums and record vocals without bothering the neighbours, thanks to thick insulation and high ceilings. Or maybe you want a light-filled art studio with big windows bringing in that perfect north light and climate control to keep your paints and canvases safe. Tech professionals can have a cabin wired from the ground up for servers, fibre optics, and ergonomic lighting—a real workspace that’s separate from home but just a few steps away. We build with CNC precision, so every socket, data port, and shelf fits right into the timber walls. No messy cables, no wasted space.
Your Own Private Spa or Leisure Retreat
Why drive hours to a spa when you can build your own sanctuary right outside? More people are turning bespoke cabins into private wellness centres. With our focus on net-zero design and top-notch insulation, these spaces stay comfortable all year, which makes them perfect for saunas, yoga, or meditation rooms.
Imagine a pool house with showers, a changing area, and a comfy lounge that looks out over the water — all built with timber that shrugs off humidity. Or maybe you want a gym at home, with rubber floors, mirrored walls, and heavy-duty ventilation, ready for serious workouts. Because it’s all custom, we can add full plumbing and electrics from the start, so your retreat works as good as it looks. Whether you’re dreaming of a cinema room with perfect sound or a games room for the kids, your cabin becomes the place everyone wants to be—right in your own backyard.
Sustainable Living and Ancillary Accommodation
Bespoke timber framing isn’t just about beautiful buildings—it’s a real answer to the housing crisis and the needs of families living together across generations. If you’ve ever tried to build something new, you know how planning rules can tie you up in knots. But here’s the thing: granny flats and annexe often get the green light under different, more flexible rules—especially if they meet standards like BS 3632 for park homes.
Picture this: a log cabin designed just for you, tucked in your garden. Maybe it’s a one- or two-bedroom place for your parents, giving them independence but keeping them close when they need you. These homes come with proper kitchens, easy-access bathrooms, underfloor heating, and insulation that actually keeps energy bills in check. They’re not just for parents, either. Young adults who want their own space while they save up for a home love them, too. Or maybe you’re eyeing Airbnb income—these cabins make perfect holiday lets. In places like the South Downs or the Kent countryside, a stylish eco-lodge can pull in serious nightly rates. Suddenly, a forgotten patch of your garden becomes a steady income stream.
Specialized Commercial and Community Uses
Timber structures aren’t just for homes. All over the UK, businesses are getting creative—using these buildings for pop-up shops, rural coffee stops, and reception areas that actually look like they belong in the landscape. Because we handle everything—from the groundworks to electrics and plumbing—you’re looking at a finished, ready-to-use space in weeks, not months.
Schools and nurseries are catching on, too. Outdoor classrooms made from timber give kids a real connection to nature, plus they’re weatherproof, so rain doesn’t cancel class. These buildings grow with you: need more space? Just add on. Equestrian centres love them for tack rooms, grooming stations, or even workshops for the farrier. They’re tough enough for farm life but comfortable enough to spend your day in.
The Importance of “Bespoke” vs. “Off-the-Shelf”
The real magic is in “bespoke.” Off-the-shelf cabins force you to compromise—with fixed sizes, awkward window placements, and flimsy walls that just don’t handle British weather. Buy cheap, buy twice, as they say.
But when you go bespoke with Factory Cabins, the building fits your life—not the other way around. Need a 10-meter open span for a dance studio? We engineer glulam beams for it. Want triple glazing and airtight, passive-house standards for year-round living? We build that right in. Looking to match a historic home or make a bold, modern statement? We tweak the cladding, roof shape, and finish until it’s perfect.
We use toughened glass, high-spec windows, and insulated doors, so whether you want a secure site office or a sun-drenched art studio, your cabin just works. And because we manufacture directly, there’s no middleman, so your money goes into better timber, hardware, and finishing—not someone else’s pocket.
Future-Proofing Your Investment
A bespoke log cabin is about flexibility. Maybe today it’s your home office. Down the line, it could be a teenager’s hangout or a guest suite. Swedish spruce and CNC precision mean it’ll stand up to decades of weather, resisting rot and warping. It’s a building that grows with you.
From This 44mm box
To This bespoke design
And let’s talk about sustainability. Timber is one of the greenest building options out there—especially when it’s sourced properly, like ours from slow-grown Scandinavian forests. It locks up carbon, and when you add solar panels or heat pumps (which our designs make easy), you’re not just building for yourself. You’re building for the planet.
When it comes to bespoke log cabins, your only real limit is your imagination—and the size of your plot. Need a high-spec office, a luxury retreat, a guest house, or a commercial cabin? You can have it, fast and without breaking the bank. These buildings do more than traditional extensions ever could—they solve real problems in modern life.
Why settle for a bland, off-the-shelf box that barely gets the job done? You deserve a space crafted for your needs, built from the best materials, and designed to last.

Introduction: Why Bespoke Matters
Here’s the thing—at Factory Cabins, we’ve spent years bringing together some of the best carpenters, architects, joiners, and machinists out there.
All with one goal in mind: building truly bespoke log cabins. We don’t just churn out the same old cabins you’ll find everywhere else. Instead, we focus on three things, in this order: quality, design, and then price. If we cared only about cutting costs, we’d be letting our customers down.
Safety always comes first in every project. We sweat the details on quality, then we think about price.
Picking out a bespoke log cabin can feel overwhelming. There’s a lot to consider, but honestly, safety should always top your list. Factory Cabins really does stand out—we’re known across the industry for being the best at what we do. Don’t settle for something average.
Call us up, tell us what you need, and let’s build something just for you. With Factory Cabins, you get the only log cabin that’s truly built for your peace of mind.
Chapter 1: Understanding Twin Skin Construction
What Makes Twin Skin Superior?
Every one of our cabins comes with a twin skin option—either 44mm x 44mm or 70mm x 70mm. This isn’t just fancy talk. Twin skin construction is a genuine step forward in how log cabins are built.
A twin skin cabin uses two separate layers of timber—one inside, one outside—with a gap in between for top-notch insulation. That’s the secret. This setup gets rid of cold spots, stops condensation, and keeps things nice and quiet inside.
The insulated walls? They work just as well as a solid wall that’s five times thicker. So you save space, use fewer materials, and—most importantly—cut down on costs.
44mm x 44mm Twin Skin: The Smart Choice
Durability, energy efficiency, style, and value all come together here. Using slow-grown Swedish spruce for both the inner and outer walls, this design works great for all kinds of spaces—year-round holiday rentals, glamping pods, garden offices that actually keep you warm, or family getaways where comfort really matters. It’s also a solid choice if you want a passive income property without high running costs.
Between the two 44mm spruce walls, there’s a cavity that fits 50mm to 100mm of insulation. With standard Celotex, you can get U-values down to 0.35 W/m²K. If you go with UK Building Regulations-compliant insulation kits, you can drop that even further, all the way to 0.19 W/m²K.
70mm x 70mm Twin Skin: Premium Performance
For those seeking maximum thermal performance, our 70mm x 70mm twin skin option delivers exceptional results. With a 110mm insulation cavity, this configuration achieves U-values of 0.19 W/m²K—significantly better than current UK building regulations require (0.21 W/m²K for 2022 standards)
The substantial 70mm logs provide excellent thermal mass, meaning they hold heat far better than thinner alternatives This makes them ideal for:
Residential park homes requiring BS3632 compliance
Locations requiring enhanced insulation (lakeside, coastal, or exposed sites)
Why Swedish Spruce?
Swedish spruce stands out for its strength and durability, which is why people keep coming back to it for building solid, long-lasting log cabins.
Unlike faster-growing woods, Swedish spruce trees take their time—about 80 years before harvest. That slow growth gives the wood a density and quality you just don’t get elsewhere.
So what do you actually get with Swedish spruce? For starters, it’s got great thermal insulation. Spruce’s low density means log homes built from it keep the warmth in, even through those endless northern winters.
It’s also known for its dimensional stability. All those tight growth rings from slow growth help the wood resist warping and twisting. If you treat it right, Swedish spruce will stick around for decades with hardly any fuss. You don’t need to baby it.
The wood comes from FSC-certified forests, which means it’s harvested responsibly. That matters when you care about the planet.
And you can’t ignore the look. The natural grain and color of Swedish spruce give cabins a warm, timeless feel that just works, year after year.
One more thing—winter-cut seasoned spruce is even better. When they cut the trees in winter, the sap’s low, so the wood stays stable and resists weird warping or cracks as it ages. That’s the kind of detail that really makes a difference.
Chapter 2: Complete Window and Door Freedom
Our Vision, Your Placement
When you go bespoke, you get total freedom with your windows and doors. Seriously—put them wherever you want, as many or as few as you like. Want a cabin with no windows at all? Or maybe you want a wall full of glass? We’ve done both. Just tell us what you’re imagining, and we’ll make it happen.
With off-the-shelf cabins, you’re stuck with whatever layout’s already set. Our custom service flips that. You can:
Pick the perfect spot for a window to catch your favorite view or soak up the sunlight Put doors exactly where they make sense for how you move through the space Decide how many windows or vents you need—maybe you want loads for fresh air, or just one for a cozy vibe Play around with different sizes to make things interesting and useful
Standard Door Sizes
We have three standard door sizes to choose from. Beyond that, everything else is made to fit what you want.
Main entrances, moving furniture, creating open feel
Double Door with Outer Glass Panes
1930mm x 2310mm
Premium entrances, maximizing light, statement features
Every door is made from joinery glulam—basically, that’s laminated timber that stays straight and true, even as time goes by. Unlike regular solid wood, it doesn’t twist or warp, so your door always fits snug and works smoothly all year round.
And when it comes to windows, we offer five standard sizes. Each one’s crafted from the same joinery glulam and fitted with reliable German hardware.
Every window comes double glazed as standard, with options for fixed panes or handy tilt-and-turn openings.
The tilt-and-turn system is pretty clever. You can tilt the window inwards for a bit of fresh air—totally safe, especially if you’ve got kids or pets. Or, swing the whole thing open for a proper breeze and easy cleaning.
We use German hardware on all our windows and doors. It’s not hype—this stuff really is top quality. The tilt-and-turn mechanisms aren’t just smooth and easy to use; they’re built tough to last for decades.
You get solid, heavy-duty components that keep working year after year. Opening and closing feels effortless, thanks to precise engineering. Security’s covered too, with multi-point locks and anti-lift features, so you can actually relax. The seals hold up in all kinds of weather—rain, wind, even salt air near the coast, thanks to stainless steel parts that fight off corrosion.
All the hinges and hardware are residential quality, the best you’ll find in the industry. And here’s the thing—this isn’t an extra you pay more for. Every Factory Cabins bespoke project gets these features as standard.
Custom Sizes, No Limits
Sure, our standard sizes work for most people, but sometimes you need something different. Maybe you want huge windows to take in that lake view. Maybe you have a unique design in mind, or you need taller doors for better accessibility. We can handle it. Whatever shape or size you’re picturing, we’ll build it to fit your space.
We use the same high-quality glulam joinery and German hardware for every window and door, no matter the size. So your whole cabin feels solid and consistent, even if you mix standard and custom pieces.
Georgian Bar Choices
Want Georgian bars on your windows or doors? We’ve got you covered. We factory-fit these bars for a clean, lasting finish—they’re not the removable kind you’ll find in our Country and Planning Compliant ranges. If you want everything to match, just let us know.
Chapter 3: Creating Your Bespoke Log Cabin – Step by Step
Step 1: Pick Your Log Cabin
Start by choosing the log cabin body you want. There’s a massive range—different sizes, layouts, verandas, roof heights, and setups. You’ll find over 180 bespoke log cabin bodies here. Still not seeing one that works for you? Shoot us an email or just give us a call. We’re always happy to talk through your ideas.
Step 2: Measure Your Space
Grab a tape measure and check how much room you’ve got in your garden. Leave some space between your new cabin and any fences or buildings—around 600mm is a good rule of thumb. That way, you’ll have enough room to actually build the cabin and keep it in good shape down the line.
A few planning rules to keep in mind:
Log cabins need to be under 2.5m tall if they’re close (within 2m) to your property boundary.
The cabin shouldn’t take up more than half your garden.
There are height limits: 4 metres for gable roofs, 3 metres for other roof types.
If you plan to sleep in the cabin, live in it, or rent it out for holidays, you’ll need full planning permission.
Once you’ve picked the cabin that fits, it’s time to choose the wall thickness. Go for 44mm or 70mm walls—or try the twin skin options (44mm x 44mm or 70mm x 70mm). Then just add it to your cart and you’re set for the next step.
Thickness
Best Use
Thermal Performance
44mm Single
Summer offices, seasonal use
Moderate
70mm Single
Extended season use
Good
44mm x 44mm Twin
Year-round comfort
Excellent
70mm x 70mm Twin
Premium year-round
Superior
44mm logs are seriously thick — 57% thicker than the usual 28mm ones you see out there. But you know what? Twin skin construction takes thermal performance to a whole new level, no matter how thick your logs are.
Step 4: Choose Windows and Doors
There’s a ton of options. You can go for single or double doors, pick from fully glazed, three-quarter, or half-glazed styles, and even add Georgian bars if that’s your thing. All our glazing? Double glazed, sealed units as standard.
When it comes to windows, you’ve got just as much choice. Single or double, pick any size you want. Again, everything’s double glazed. Some windows are fixed, others tilt and turn — it’s up to you. And the hardware on the windows matches the doors, so everything feels solid and looks good.
Step 5: Position Windows and Doors
Now, decide where you want each window and door. The visuals for each cabin wall actually show you the possible spots. Just make sure you’re not placing anything closer than 300mm to a corner or a main structural section.
Here’s something that sets us apart: we always double-check your plans to make sure your cabin stays rock solid. Not every bespoke manufacturer does this, but we do. It’s that attention to detail that keeps your cabin performing the way it should, year after year.
Chapter 5: Why Factory Cabins Stands Apart

Chapter 6: Applications and Uses
Garden Offices

Your Perfect Log Cabin Awaits—Straight from the Mill, No Nonsense
When you’re hunting for a log cabin, you don’t want some flimsy garden shed. You want a real building—solid, comfortable, and built to last all year.

No showrooms, no pushy salespeople—just honest prices and serious quality. Built for Real Life It all starts with slow-grown Scandinavian spruce, kiln-dried so it stands up to the British weather.
But here’s what really makes our cabins different: you get to choose your wall spec.
Go with 44mm single skin for a summer house, or 70mm if you want to use it all year.
Need more? Our Twin Skin systems—44mm x 44mm or 70mm x 70mm—give you double walls with insulation in between. These aren’t just buzzwords. Our log cabin twin skins are manufactured to be the best of the best, using CNC machinery and quality insulation to manage moisture and keep warmth in so you’re comfortable whether it’s freezing or blazing hot and you don’t have to crank up the heating. Our joinery glulam windows and doors actually last the test of time, unlike factories that buy in uPVC windows and doors that don’t move with the cabin and are not capable of manufacturing excellence.
A lot of cabin companies cut corners here. We don’t.
So… every log cabin comes with joinery-grade glulam windows and doors. That’s glued laminated timber, by the way—super strong, keeps its shape, and means your windows work smoothly for years. Plus, all glazing is double-glazed with toughened safety glass, so you get proper insulation and security—no need to pay extra.
Hassle-Free Planning We know UK planning rules inside out. Our amazing log cabins are all designed under 2.5 metres at the eaves, so you can put them within two metres of a boundary without needing planning permission.
Most models are under 30 square metres, so you usually don’t need building regs either.

belonging to and being in contact with nature Energy efficiency and environmental responsibility Selecting a Proper Location
Factors to take into account while selecting a place Places in the UK renowned for having log cabins Benefits and Features of Log Cabins It is important to remember that precipitation in the United Kingdom has risen over the past two decades, making the nation wetter overall and ensuring that any construction will eventually become wet. Cabins are suited for both cold and rainy weather conditions; however, they should never be positioned in water. The base needs to be raised to a minimum of 6 inches above the ground, and there should never be a sill surrounding the cabin to prevent water from trickling under and down the walls.

A Sauna is the best thing to relax in after a days graft. So many people sit in their baths and wallow in their dirty water for an hour or so and then dry themselves off with a dirty towel and think ( I am clean) your not, you are actually dirtier as the pours of your skin opened and the dirt went slightly deeper.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but bathtubs are really, really dirty. One study found that staph germs, which can cause dangerous staph infections, are present in almost 30 percent of bathtubs. Another study says bathtubs are 100 times more germ-filled than garbage cans.
But…….

So please please have a look at our range of keeping young cabins……..
When manufacturing a Clock House Log Cabin, there are many things to take into account.
The first thought when manufacturing a Log Cabin is that it is built safely, and that it protects the environment. Its windows and doors are the best they can be, and that its water tight, and manufactured to be strong.
Most companies never show the insides of their cabins, and there is a really good reason for this, they look even worse inside as they do out, yeah, once again I jump on the other companies and call them all crap etc, but sadly being the Granddad of this industry, and seemingly being the only one who actually wants to change things, make cabins better and better, not worse, always upping the quality and keeping prices the same, selling direct, through our LTD UK companyand pushing the customer to pay with a credit card , for their own protection, is quite a move forward, I am seriously happy with what we have accomplished over this last year, we got rid of the middle man, we don’t need them, they always said the shed companies that we needed them, customers will not buy direct, they are worried, what a load of bollocks, customers love saving 1000’s and getting more and a better cabin, plus excellent customer service. Most shed, companies are just rip off merchants. They resell our hard work, earn more than us, and scream for low prices. They are the scum of this industry completely!
We have our own building teams in the UK that are cheaper than shed companies and better, we have direct line of sales to you, and best part is, we know what your going to get, when its leaving and when it will get there.
Next we use Russian Scotts Pine, Our timber looks Russian, and trust me when I say the grain is as tight as your wallet! North London Humour!
Check Out the quality of this building inside, its built by the best, us, hand picked timber, all cut on a new CNC Multisize Log Cabin Line.
Our Doors and windows as you can see have new for 2021-2022 multi locking system plus each door has 3 German hinges and as you can see quality here is 101%.
Why do people in general come to us, simple, they have money to spend, want the best, understand that we know whats good and bad, want to buy from a Brit, that started this whole industry, want to buy from someone that will tell them the truth, more importantly you are going to feel safe with your choice, forget Resellers, they are here today and sadly your money and them gone tomorrow, we are the choice, you do not ask someone to go to the bank for you, you go yourself, so if you want to spend 1000’s then give it to the girls and guys that are here today, and will not be gone tomorrow.. We can give you hundreds of references, we are also on our banks blog as being one of the best manufacturers to sell to the public by credit card last year, but most people who buy from us, have read my blog, and these people know that I hate liars, and con men, I just want to give you the best of the best as quickly as possible and I am told I do this well! And everyone I work with always come back, especially in the Holiday, Chalet, Pod, Lodge industry.
So many things to think of and here is a list for you to think over.
Firstly you are not looking for a cheap crap mass produced log cabin. You’re not, your bank account thinks you should and your telling yourself that a 34mm and a 70mm is the same it’s not, but you don’t, as wasting money is wasting money, so stay away from Resellers 34mm log cabins and crap they are no better than an up market shed, quickly manufactured windows and doors, they fall apart almost immediately.
Our Windows and doors are not just a amazing they are the best, we have spent no expense on producing them, and making sure everyone in the industry is way way behind us in quality level.
Lots and Lots of companies have already tried to already copy our door design , hinges, quality handles and lots, but copying them is one thing, but getting the quality means you must pay for it, and we have.paid for ours heavily, our doors are not allowed to be put into the cabin until they are completely and utterly stained and waterproofed, they they can be fitted, the reason for this is that they are manufactured from joinery timber, and their moisture content is very low and they will expand and not fit if they are not treated until exposed to the weather.
This is not a cheap cabin, no no means but it will stand its ground for more than 20 years…. FACT!
You are not looking for a concrete foundation that will crack and be damp. You are not looking for a company that shows you a pretty picture and delivers you a mess. missing bits, broken parts etc, and the sales man , woman , tells you they are the best of the best and you be as snug as a bug all year round, and the walls are 44mm single skin. You are not looking for a company who cuts its timber from Baltic Spruce or Pine, its quick grown and rubbish, Imedeska and a few other manufacturers, sell baltic pine, they basically bid in the local market for local logs, cut it, dry it, in old uncertified kilns, and then sell it on with mass profit, it splits, it looks nice a white, sandy coloured, but honestly the timber is crap.and it will rot in 7 years with or with out stain, rot protection, the timber is too new to hold any kind of self oil, and then you will remember back to reading this blog and remember when i said buying cheap is foolish.
A small note to the wise, in 2008 we all
remember the awful recession, and in that recession a few tricks were played by
certain individuals that I will not mention, who are though still trading, and
the trick was this, they knew that bad times were coming, so they did something
very underhanded, and as a supplier to some of these companies, we lost 100’s
of 1000’s of pounds. And the Public lost a lot more.
You must be very wary of the 12 week
waiting time scenario, companies who you think you can trust, tell you the
waiting time is 12/14/16 weeks, and you pay a deposit, after that 16 weeks has elapses,
they go bust! They go off line, and you will receive sorry letters, but your
deposit is gone, and then you have to go back to the bank to see if its
possible to get your money back, we do not have a waiting time, we are as
always pre Virus 4/5 weeks, the same as it was before, and 4/5 weeks after said
Virus.
So if your told to wait, be careful………………….
Please remember , 2007, many resellers went broke, pay by card. deposit and for full payment. Be clever, and be happy! Keep your distance and wear a mask!
Regarding purchasing Cabins, Timber Buildings or any item from Self Employed Dealers. Resellers, who sell our LV or FC brand, if you went to the Self Employed Dealers, reseller, first, please do not come to us, if you have a question, concerns please call us, but as they are resellers, we are unable to do anything legally to them regarding their prices , Please remember and do not forget a business needs earn money, we can say what we think they should be sold at, but we cannot by law demand they sell it at what we think. So, it’s always best to look at other websites, and please remember our cabins are high quality, so like for like pricing will be difficult, but there are a few companies out there that are the same nearly as ours and you can gauge if the pricing if fair or not.
I say this all the time, pay with a credit card………. It keeps you safe.
We have no claim or claims to our dealerships working practises, or who and what they do. We are not responsible for deposits they may take, and we are not responsible for broken doors, windows, or bad workmanship, fitted kitchens, bad fitted bathrooms etc, we however would like to be told this in writing so we can take the matter to the company concerned and ask them to help you with your concerns.
When we deliver a cabin to our resellers, they are the owner of that cabin, timber building etc, until they give it to you, you don’t even own it, once its delivered to you, you sign for it, but before you do, inspect it, you can refuse to sign for it if there is damage. The law is on your side, however if you have had a bespoke cabin made for you, and there are missing parts, or a broken door, you cannot return this, the company (reseller) has 28 days, or whatever his T and C’s say in which to fix your Log Cabin. We have some amazing resellers, and they will bend over to help you have that amazing cabin in your garden.
Here is a note to everyone, only buy a cabin if your job is secure, and you can afford it, as most cabins are bespoke manufactured for you, refunds are almost impossible. So please beware of this.
Please take note, please,please always ask if you can pay with a credit card.
Before we start this blog I would like to comment on Our new Design. This is not a Bulk Cabin Superstore Building, This kind of design comes only from a serious design house and manufacturing department of logcabinslv.
Log Cabins LV are known for looking at different ways in which to design-manufacture-price and bring to market high quality log cabins, super insulated residential buildings and of course our famous Deluxe Gluam and bespoke Log Cabins, we are not a bulk cabin superstore.
Log Cabins LV are far more exclusive, and normally only the well-researched customer who is looking for the ultimate Log Cabin- Timber Building, a customer who does comparisons and really looks at what he is offered, looks at the whole picture, and not just at pretty pictures and low pricing.
Our amazing log cabin ranges are the best and most unique ever designed, and our manufacturing department are without doubt the best to be found in the log cabin/timber frame / Glulam industry. Log Cabins LV also picks its partners/dealers carefully, we look for family run businesses, also we look for now only timber building elated companies to sell our products, also we are always looking from the customer’s point of view first!
LogcabinsLV never allows shoddy workmanship or over pricing. This is one reason we have been trading longer than anyone in the UK-Ireland- Scotland.
LV designs the future and we design it with passion but also we design it with quality and price, but more than that, we design our cabins to stand out, and to last the test of time, we actually care about the longevity of our cabins.
It is amazing how so many people will buy a mass produced log cabin, the difference in price of purchasing a quality log cabin to a nasty bulk log cabin is miniscule, yet the extra pounds stop people thinking about what they are letting themselves in for.
Lets look at the bulk cabins and what you get.
OK! let’s say you’re speaking to a dealer who offers you a 70mm log cabin, and he tells you that it’s great, amazing, and they will do you an amazing deal. As soon as they say it is a great deal, your alarm bells should start ringing. As Deals, steals and a deposit please is the happy tune of the sales man.
If you go to an architect and you express your wishes to have a room for your garden drawn up, we all know that it could take from 4 to 8 weeks for the first set of cad drawing to hit your email.
We all know architects charge quite a considerable amount to do this, and the reason for this is their expertise level. In addition, they will also give you structural calculations etc.
Now many of you out there do not want to pay for a building that meets full building regulation, you are only looking for that room in the garden under 30 sq m in size and under 2.5m high, which is a great way of getting away from building regulations and all the expenses.
But where many people fall foul is that you still want a bespoke cabin, timber frame, or glulam log cabin, or even a standard building, you need to make sure its up to the job, and sadly most cheap, mass produced superstore log cabins, or timber frame buildings are not.
And! This is where the bulk manufactures fall flat on their faces, because of the speed in which they offer bespoke log cabin plans, they are very quick at drawing you up something and taking a deposit. 24 hrs is not enough time to really study a bespoke building regardless size or shape.
We take between two and four days drawing up plans for bespoke buildings, we have a highly skilled dedicated team that understands buildings, log cabins, timber frame and we will find fault if a fault is to be found. We do not rush, as we have learnt over many years that rushing plans means problems.
If you are looking for a quality bespoke log cabin, or a fully insulated timber frame building please give us a call.
