You must laugh when you see any company in the UK with a 28% sale or a 33% sale on now? So how much did their mass-produced bonfire material cabins really cost, and what are you getting for your money? It’s about time to wake up!
Let’s be real—when it comes to timber structures, the saying “Cheap is cheerful, but you buy cheap twice” hits the mark.
This old bit of wisdom says it all: there’s a huge difference between something built to last and something cranked out as fast and cheap as possible. If you’re thinking about getting a log cabin, a garden office, or maybe a camping pod, it’s easy to get lured in by the local shed reseller company’s deals.
But buying a bargain cabin from one of those places isn’t just a bad move—it’s asking for trouble. You don’t just risk your money; you risk your comfort and the life of the building. And honestly, you almost always lose. Here’s where things go wrong: the wood. Good manufacturers, the kind that care about lasting quality, use winter-cut, slow-grown Swedish spruce.
This stuff has dense growth rings, so it’s strong, resists rot, and shrugs off bad weather. The cheap cabins? They’re usually made from summer-cut timber that grows fast, leaving the wood with wide rings and lots of moisture. In the UK’s damp, unpredictable weather, that kind of timber doesn’t settle—it warps, twists, and cracks.
Give it a few months and your “new” cabin leaks, lets in draughts, and just looks rough. So really, you’re not buying a building. You’re buying yourself a headache (and a stack of repair bills).
And it gets worse when you look at how these budget cabins are put together. The construction is usually just not up to scratch for anything but storage. Twin-skin walls? Forget it. That means no proper insulation, so the place turns into a sauna in summer and a freezer in winter.
Not much use as an office or guest room. Real quality cabins come with glulam windows and doors, proper German hardware, tilt-and-turn mechanisms, and toughened double glazing. These aren’t “nice extras”—they’re essential for comfort, security, and keeping energy bills down.
Cheap cabins use flimsy joinery, bargain-bin hinges that rust in no time, and single glazing that breaks easily and does nothing to keep out cold or noise. Let’s talk about those “massive discounts” you see everywhere. “33% off!” Sounds too good, right? That’s because it is. No honest manufacturer can knock a third off the price of a real, high-quality cabin and still cover costs.
The materials—thermally modified timber, laminated beams, and precision fittings—just aren’t cheap. So if someone’s offering a steep discount, they haven’t suddenly become generous. They’re trying to offload a product that was never worth your money in the first place.
To cut costs that much, they skip every step they can. Instead of Swedish spruce, you get untreated pine with knots and who knows what else mixed in. Forget CNC machining for tight joints—they rough-cut everything, so you’re left with gaps for rain to sneak in.
No proper waterproofing, no real treatments, and the roofing is usually just thin felt that’ll need replacing before you know it. A 33% discount on a “new” cabin is basically a giant warning sign—the company’s just getting rid of stuff that doesn’t meet the basic standards. You end up paying full price for something that lasts half as long and needs twice as much work.
This all comes down to whether the building is actually “fit for purpose”. A cheap shed can hold your lawnmower, sure. But as soon as you try to turn it into a home office, guest room, or retreat, everything falls apart.
Try to insulate or heat it and you’ll get damp, black mould, and a real risk to your health. The structure shifts, and suddenly doors won’t close, windows stick, and the wiring (if they bothered) turns into a fire hazard.
By the time you realise you’ve been sold a dud, the company’s disappeared—or their warranty is so full of loopholes that you’re left with nothing. So, if you’re thinking about going budget on a timber structure, just know what you’re really buying: a pile of problems that cost more to fix than to avoid in the first place.
Look, going straight to the factory cuts out the middlemen and saves you money, but you’re not giving up quality. When you work with real pros, you’re paying for their skill, their precision, and solid materials that actually last. You want something unique? You’ll get it—maybe it’s a net-zero energy building or a custom timber frame.
With 28 mm toughened glass, thermally modified exterior doors, and weatherproofing that holds up when British winters get nasty, these cabins aren’t just about looking good; they protect your investment.
A cabin done right adds value to your property. Go cheap, and you’re stuck with an eyesore that drags your property down. Think about what you’re really paying for. Sure, a high-quality cabin costs more upfront.
But add up what you’ll spend replacing a rotting floor in two years, fixing a roof that blew off, or trying to heat a draughty box that leaks warmth faster than you can pay the bill. Suddenly, the “bargain” option is the most expensive mistake.
Real savings come from building something that lasts. If you use winter-cut timber, CNC precision, and top-notch hardware, your cabin’s going to stand strong for decades—dry, comfortable, and secure, year after year. Don’t let slick sales pitches or a nearby depot fool you. If a deal sounds too good, it is.
Timber physics and construction costs don’t leave room for massive discounts on genuine quality. Buy a dirt-cheap log cabin and you’re just asking for trouble.
That’s short-term thinking that leads to long-term headaches. Don’t fall into the local shed company trap. Put your money into a cabin that can handle rough weather, shows off real craftsmanship, and lasts. Bottom line: you get what you pay for.
Cut corners now, and you’ll pay for it later. Don’t make a dumb choice—pick quality, pick durability, and get a cabin that actually does what you need.

It’s January 2026. The UK log cabin industry is worth over £350 million annually — a staggering figure that would have seemed impossible when we first opened our workshop doors in 2003. Back then, “log cabin” was a niche term whispered among garden enthusiasts and DIY hobbyists. Few understood what it meant to build a *real* log cabin — one that could withstand decades of British weather, settle naturally without warping, and remain structurally sound, thermally efficient, and aesthetically timeless.
The quiet cabin companies secrets!
We didn’t just enter the market in 2003 — **we created it**.(Log Cabins For Sale)
Not through marketing gimmicks or inflated claims, but through relentless craftsmanship, engineering rigour, and an uncompromising refusal to cut corners. Over the past 23 years, FactoryCabins.com has not only pioneered the modern UK log cabin sector — we’ve also been its conscience. We’ve trained, mentored, and launched countless competitors — only to part ways with most of them when they chose profit over principle. Yes, we’ve *sacked* dealers, distributors, and even former partners — not out of spite, but because integrity cannot be negotiated.
This blog isn’t a sales pitch. It’s a manifesto. A warning. A guide. And above all — a plea to consumers: *Do not let the noise drown out the truth.*
Because today, more than ever, the log cabin market is flooded with imitation, deception, and dangerously substandard products masquerading as “premium.” And yet — amid the chaos — there remains a handful of manufacturers who still believe that a log cabin should be built to last longer than the owner’s mortgage.
We are one of them.
Let us take you on a journey — through history, engineering, ethics, and the quiet revolution we’ve waged behind the scenes for over 2 and a bit decades.
Part I: The Birth of an Industry — How FactoryCabins.com Built the UK Log Cabin Market (2003–2026)
In 2003, the UK had no dedicated log cabin manufacturers. There were timber framers, garden shed builders, and a few Scandinavian importers — but no one designing, engineering, and manufacturing log cabins *for the British climate*, using British standards, and respecting the physics of solid timber construction. One Cabin was the Clock House, our design.
We started small: a single workshop in rural Lithuania , with two carpenters, hand engineered notching machine, and a dream. Our first cabin? A 3m x 3m garden store — tongue-and-groove spruce, 44mm logs, fairly good notches, and a roof designed to shed rain *and* snow. It wasn’t glamorous. But it stood firm through 6 winters, zero rot, zero warping.
What set us apart from day one was our obsession with *movement*. Logs move. They shrink. They twist. They settle. Any builder who ignores this is building a time bomb.
So, we developed our proprietary **Dynamic Log System** — not a marketing slogan, but a structural philosophy:
**Moisture content control**: All timber dried to 16–18% MC before assembly — never air-dried on-site.
Within two years, we had 17 dealers across England and Wales.Scotland Not franchises — true partners. We trained them. We shared our CAD designs. We gave them access to our quality control protocols. We believed in collaboration.
Then came the first betrayal.
A dealer in Essex began selling our 5m x 4m “ DF 24” cabin — identical in spec — at **140% above our factory price**, claiming it was “exclusive” and “hand-finished in the UK.” When customers complained about warped doors and UVPC windows (more on that later), he blamed *us*. We investigated. Found his warehouse full of rebranded stock from a bulk supplier in Europe — same dimensions, same drawings, but with inferior timber, no kiln drying, and plastic windows bolted in with screws instead of proper joinery.
We terminated the relationship. Publicly. With evidence.
That was the first of many.
By 2011, we had directly trained or supplied over 40 companies now operating in the UK log cabin space. Many went on to become household names. Some still exist — though few retain the original ethos. Most? They pivoted to volume. To speed. To margin. And in doing so, they sacrificed the very thing that made log cabins viable in the first place: *quality*.We wanted to at the very beginning, manufacture a building that was better than a box standard shed, these companies have done the opposite, they have reduced the cabin to below a shed, and charge 3x its value.
We didn’t stop innovating. In 2013, we introduced the UK’s first **twin-skin log cabin** — 70mm outer log + 70mm inner log, with insulated cavity. It was ridiculed as “over-engineered.” Today, it’s the gold standard — and copied relentlessly.
But here’s the uncomfortable truth no one wants to admit:
**The UK log cabin industry grew not because of better products — but because of better marketing.**
And that’s where the rot began.
Part II: The Great Dilution — How “Premium” Became a Lie (2015–2026)
Between 2015 and 2026, the UK log cabin market exploded. Online retail boomed. Amazon entered. eBay sellers appeared overnight. Suddenly, anyone with a forklift and a website could call themselves a “log cabin manufacturer.”
We watched — horrified — as standards collapsed.
The UVPC Scandal: Why Plastic Windows Have No Place on Log Cabins
Let me be unequivocal:
**UVPC (uPVC) windows and doors do NOT belong on log cabins.**
Here’s why — and this is physics, not opinion:
Log cabins settle vertically by 3–8% over the first 12–18 months (depending on log thickness and moisture content).
uPVC frames are rigid. They do not flex. They do not accommodate movement.
When the log wall shrinks *around* a rigid uPVC frame, stress concentrates at the corners → cracks form → seals fail → water ingress → rot begins.
Within 2–3 years, 70% of uPVC-fitted cabins show visible gaps, fogged double glazing, or jammed sashes.
We tested this ourselves — in our own lab, with accelerated settling rigs. We fitted identical cabins with:
Option A: High-quality joinery-glulam timber windows (our standard)
Option B: uPVC windows (industry “budget” spec)
After 18 months of simulated settlement:
Option A: Minor adjustment needed. Seals intact. Operation smooth.
Option B: 3 out of 4 windows cracked at the top corner. One door refused to close. Condensation inside glazing units.
Yet today — walk into any major retailer’s showroom, or scroll through their website — and you’ll see “Premium Log Cabin” advertised with *uPVC windows*, *uPVC doors*, *uPVC cladding*. They call it “low maintenance.” It’s not low maintenance — it’s *low integrity*.
We use only **joinery-grade glulam timber** for our window and door frames. Why?
– Glulam (glued laminated timber) is engineered to resist twisting and warping — critical when logs move.
– It expands and contracts *with* the cabin structure.
– It accepts traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery — far stronger than screw-fixed uPVC.
– It can be repaired, refinished, and lasts decades — unlike uPVC, which becomes brittle and yellowed in UV exposure.
The 200% Mark-Up Mirage
Let’s talk money — because this is where the deception becomes criminal.
In 2014, we audited 12 leading UK log cabin retailers. We purchased identical 5m x 4m cabins (same log thickness, same floor specs, same roof pitch) from each — using fake buyer profiles to avoid special pricing.
Yes — nearly **200% markup** on *identical product*.
And what did those customers receive?
– Same 44mm spruce logs (not upgraded to 68mm or 70mm)
– Same 18mm OSB flooring (not 28mm T&G pine)
– Same 16mm roof boards (not 19mm)
– Same basic hardware (not German-made)
No innovation. No improvement. Just higher prices — justified by slogans like “Luxury Edition,” “Designer Range,” or “Handcrafted Excellence.”
Meanwhile, our warranty? **20 years** — conditional on basic maintenance (clean gutters, keep foundation dry, re-treat external timber every 3 years). Not 10 years. *20.* Because if you treat a log cabin like a house — it will last like one.
Most others offer 10-year warranties — knowing full well that by year 11, the cabin will likely be leaking, warping, or suffering condensation damage due to poor design. Windows and Doors falling apart, It’s not a warranty — it’s a *time-limited liability cap*.
We’ve seen it too many times: A customer calls us in Year 8, frustrated because their “premium” cabin is rotting at the base. We help as much as we can, its normally windows and doors, or the bottom logs have rotted away. Windows and doors we can help with, but rotten logs , impossible, sadly.
That’s not business. That’s ethics.
Part III: The Anatomy of a Real Log Cabin — What You’re *Not* Being Told
When you browse log cabin websites, you’re drowning in glossy images, 3D renders, and five-star reviews (many of which are incentivised or fake). But the real story lies in the details — the ones hidden in tiny footnotes or omitted entirely.
**Moisture Content**: Must be 16–18% *at time of assembly*. Air-dried timber (20–25% MC) will shrink excessively post-installation — causing gaps, leaks, and joint failure.
**Kiln Drying**: Non-negotiable. Air-dried logs retain sapwood — prime breeding ground for fungus and beetle larvae.
We test every batch. We reject 12% of incoming timber — even if it means delaying orders.
2. Log Profiling & Joinery
Our CNC machinery notches with absolute precision time and time again first of all the cabin is made using cad, then those plans are entered into the CNC machines, however before we start cutting the cabin we send you the plans it is that this stage that you can change or alter something, once you are satisfied you sign off the plans and we begin the process of manufacturing the cabin, quick and easy, no mistakes.
3. Flooring — Where Most Fail
Windows & Doors — Our Crown Jewel (and Why 99.9% Fail to Copy It)
This is where we draw the line — and where imitators consistently fail.
Tempered double-glazed units** (4-16-4), argon-filled, low-E coated, and toughened as standard.
Stainless steel hinges** (not zinc-plated iron — which rusts in 18 months)
Why do 99.9% of copycats fail?
A solid timber frame *will* twist as the cabin settles. Ours doesn’t — because the layers counterbalance each other.
Try finding a competitor who publishes their window spec sheet. Most won’t — because they can’t.
We challenge anyone: Send us your cabin’s window frame. We’ll tell you within 30 seconds whether it’s glulam or solid timber — and whether it will last 5 years or 20.
5. Insulation & Thermal Performance — The Net Zero Frontier
Not “eco-friendly” — *net zero*. Meaning: annual energy consumption ≤ renewable generation on-site.
How?
– Twin-skin construction (70mm + 70mm logs) with mineral wool cavity insulation (U-value ~0.28 W/m²K)
– Triple-glazed windows (U-value 0.7)
– Air-source heat pump (3–4 kW)
– Solar PV array (4–6 kW)
– Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR)
We built our first net-zero cabin in 2023 — a 10.2 x 9.2 m x 6m holiday home with:
Two en-suite bedrooms
-Kitchen
– Living/dining area
– Utility room
– Roof-mounted ground solar array
– ASHP + underfloor heating
Annual energy use: **2,100 kWh**
Solar generation: **2,450 kWh**
Net export: **+350 kWh/year**
It’s in stock — ready for delivery. Not a prototype. Not a demo. A *real* physical Twin Skin cabin.
Yet most companies still sell 44mm single-skin cabins with no insulation, calling them “energy efficient.” They’re not. They’re thermal sieves.
Part IV: The Dealer Crisis — Why We Terminated 97% of Our Partners
Let’s address the elephant in the room: **Dealerships**.
In our early years, we relied on dealers — local businesses who knew their communities, could provide installation support, and offered after-sales service.
By 2019 , we had 50/60 active dealers across the UK-Wales-Scotland-Holland-Europe
By 2020, we had **2**.
Why?
Reason #1: Systematic Overcharging and stealing !
We discovered dealers inflating prices by 50–100% — then blaming *us* for “high factory costs.” One dealer in Manchester charged £22,500 for a cabin we sold him for £9,200. When confronted, he said: *“Customers expect to pay that — they think it’s premium.”*
We terminated him.
We decided to sell direct. No more killing our brand and hard work with sadly thieves.
Reason 2: Theft & Fraud
Yes — theft. From *customers*.
Case study: A dealer in Yorkshire took deposits from 14 customers (£68.000 total) for cabins “in production.” The cabins never existed. He used the money to pay personal debts. When customers called us, we reported him to the police — he was later sentenced.
We also reported him to Trading Standards.
Another case: A dealer in Scotland substituted our 70mm twin-skin cabins with 44mm single-skin knockoffs — same packaging, same branding. Customers received cabins that leaked in rain and froze in winter. We sent engineers. Found the fraud. Terminated. Prosecuted.
These aren’t outliers. They’re symptoms of a broken system.
Which leads us to our core belief:
**If you want quality — buy direct from the factory.**
Why?
– No middleman markup
– Direct access to engineers and designers
– Full transparency on materials and processes
– Ability to customise *anything* — from roof pitch to amount of doors and windows,
– No risk of misrepresentation
And let’s be clear: **There are no significant log cabin factories in England.** None. Zero.
Why? Because England has no commercial forests suitable for structural timber. The UK imports 85% of its softwood — mostly from Scandinavia and the Baltics and sadly the Baltics is mainly Pine, too many knots, young trees, and small in diameter,. So when a company claims “Made in England,” they mean: *Assembled in England from imported parts.* Often with Chinese-made hardware and cheap timber.
We manufacture in Lithuania — But we manufacture only with Swedish Spruce.
Buying from a “UK factory” dealer? You’re paying for logistics, not quality.
Part V: The Consumer’s Survival Guide — How to Spot a Real Cabin
You’re overwhelmed. You’ve read 10 websites. Seen 50 videos. Still don’t know who to trust.
Here’s your actionable checklist — proven over 23 years:
Insist on Window/Door Specifications
Ask: *“Are windows joinery glulam or solid timber? Who manufactures the hardware? Please send photos of exactly what I am buying.
If they say “uPVC” or “premium composite” — run.
Request 4 Independent Customer References
Not testimonials on their site. *Real people.* Ask:
When did you receive your cabin?”
What issues have you had?”
Have you needed repairs? Who did them?”
Would you buy from them again?”
We give customers our direct line — no gatekeeping. If a company refuses, they have something to hide.
Check the Warranty Terms
A 20-year warranty that requires *only* basic maintenance (gutter cleaning, no standing water, re-treatment) is credible.
A 10-year warranty that excludes “natural settlement,” “weather damage,” or “improper installation” is worthless.
Visit the Factory (If Possible)
We welcome visitors — by appointment. See the timber stacks. Watch the CNC machines. Meet the joiners. Compare the finish on a freshly assembled cabin vs. one stored for 6 months.
If they won’t let you visit — why not?
Our Promise — And Why We’re Still Here After 24 Years
We could have taken the easy path. We could have switched to uPVC. We could have outsourced to the lowest bidder. We could have offered 10-year warranties and called it a day.
But we didn’t.
Because we believe:
– A log cabin is not a garden ornament. It’s a *building*.
– It deserves the same respect as a house — structurally, thermally, and aesthetically.
– The customer shouldn’t need a degree in timber engineering to avoid being ripped off.
Today, we manufacture over 7,000 unique cabin designs — from a 2m x 1.5m lawn mower cabin (yes, we make those — with lockable doors and ventilation) to a 20m x 18m luxury lodge with underfloor heating, smart lighting, and a rooftop terrace.
We’ve shipped to every county in the UK. To remote Scottish islands. To Welsh valleys. To urban London gardens (yes — even on 10m x 8m plots, with planning permission).
And we still do what we did in 2003:
– Hand-inspect every log
– Test every window under simulated settlement
– Refuse to compromise on hardware
– Fire dealers who betray trust
We’re not the biggest. We’re not the cheapest. But we are — and always have been — the most honest.
## Final Thoughts: The Future of Log Cabins — And Your Role in It
The UK log cabin industry stands at a crossroads.
On one side: Mass-produced, disposable structures — sold with flashy ads, fake reviews, and promises that crumble with the first frost.
On the other: A quiet movement of makers who believe that wood, when respected, can create beauty that endures.
We choose the latter.
But we cannot do it alone.
Every time you choose quality over hype — when you ask the hard questions, demand proof, and refuse to accept “good enough” — you strengthen the entire industry.
You protect future generations from inheriting cabins that rot, leak, and disappoint.
You honour the craft.
So, thank you — for reading this far. For caring enough to seek the truth.
If you have questions — about timber, insulation, net zero, or why your neighbour’s “premium” cabin is already peeling — email us. Call us. Visit us.
We’re here. As we’ve been since 2003.
Not to sell you a cabin.
But to help you build a legacy.**FactoryCabins.com**

Log Cabins’ Everlasting Appeal
Log cabins have a timeless elegance that appeals to people of all ages. They trace back to a simpler time when natural beauty and craftsmanship were greatly respected. Log cabins continue to enchant homeowners with their rustic beauty and cosy atmospheres today.
Selecting the Best Wood
It is critical to choose the right timber for your log cabin. Choosing high-quality, long-lasting wood improves the longevity of your cottage. Because of its resistance to decay and insects, cedar, pine, and spruce are popular alternatives. Choosing the right wood for an aesthetically pleasing and robust cabin is the first step.
The ability to customise log cabins is one of their most appealing aspects. You have the creative flexibility to make your log cabin represent your own style and needs, from the design and layout to the inside decor. To create your ideal cabin, experiment with different floor designs, window styles, and roofing options.
Log cabins provide numerous advantages that make them an excellent choice for homeowners seeking both aesthetic appeal and utility.
Energy Conservation
Log cabins are well-known for their high energy efficiency. Wood’s natural insulating characteristics keep your cabin warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This not only improves your comfort but also lowers your energy expenditures, making log cabins an environmentally beneficial alternative.
Log cabins may last for centuries if built and maintained properly. They are naturally hardy and can resist extreme weather conditions. With regular maintenance, your log cabin will be a tribute to enduring craftsmanship.
Relationship with Nature
Living in a log cabin allows you to connect with nature in a unique way. Surrounded by nature’s magnificence, you’ll find a sense of tranquilly and calm that is difficult to find anywhere. A log cabin is more than just a house; it’s a retreat into nature’s heart.
Wooden interiors have been linked to better mental health. Log cabins’ natural beauty promote relaxation and stress reduction. Furthermore, the absence of toxic substances in building materials leads to a healthier indoor atmosphere.
Constructing Your Dream Log Cabin
Building a log cabin is a major undertaking, but the benefits are incalculable. Here are the crucial stages to making your log cabin dream a reality.
Choosing a Location
It is critical to select the best location for your log cabin. Think about things like accessibility, views, and proximity to utilities. Conduct a comprehensive site study to guarantee that your cabin will blend in with its surroundings.
Regulations and Permits
It is critical to understand the legal elements of building a log cabin. Check with local authorities to see what permissions and laws are required. Compliance ensures a smooth construction process and helps to avoid any snags.
The Construction Procedure
A log cabin is built in various stages, including foundation work, log installation, and roofing. Hiring skilled professionals or working with a respected log cabin kit provider can help streamline the process and assure high-quality craftsmanship.
Design of Interiors
Personalise the interior of your log house to make it truly yours. Interior design is crucial in establishing the environment you desire, from selecting the proper furniture to adding cosy elements like a stone fireplace or a spacious porch.

Their distinct combination of aesthetics and functionality makes them an excellent alternative for homeowners seeking an amazing living experience.

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.

The Cabin Group is the UK’s biggest supplier of log cabins and timber buildings. ( this is a lie, they are scamming other peoples products) not to be trusted.
These websites are fraud, they are not an LV dealer, and their cabins are substandard.
If in doubt, please give us a ring, or send us an email.
Sadly too many companies want to be associated with us, and the cabin group ( group) is one that has been defrauding customers for far too long.
As you can see this company has many guises, and it is not a log cabin lv dealer……..
this is a clip from their website……
Here are a few reasons to buy with confidence….
1) We are proud to have built a company based on values of trust and loyalty. ( this is laughable)
4) Fantastic Range – we have a wide range of log cabins to suit your lifestyle – whether that be for work, rest or play. We are proud to offer a wide range of quality built log cabins from garages, offices, work shops, summer houses, gyms, play areas to residential cabins and more. (all stolen from LV)
