There are quite a few agents/dealers in the UK- Europe that will offer you a log cabin, and call it a residential building. But the difference between the two is night and day.

A residential building, timber frame, is designed to be a 12-month a year dwelling. A single skin log cabin is not.

In certain countries where rainfall is minimal and the season is hot then very cold, then a single skin 220mm Scandinavian log cabin is great, but in some parts of Europe-UK where the weather is very damp, this kind of structure has its limitations due to rainfall.

When a company offers you a single skin log cabin say in 70mm solid timber and offers to clad the building inside, this still does not get around the moisture issue.

This year we have had hundreds of people call us and ask us if our twin skin log cabins (solid timber) will meet building regulations, and sat tests, etc, and the honest answer is yes, but we need to redesign the whole cabin. And we 9 times out of 10 ask them to look at the timber frame selection, which we have over one hundred designs in our gallery.

Timber frame is truly the only way to go if you are on a budget, and you are looking for super insulted building, which will also last the test of time.

Below are some photos of Timber Frame buildings we have manufactured and built.

Over the years we have put more attention on our window and door production line, than trying to pump more of the same out the door as 99.9% of companies seem to do!

I know this is a scathing attack on the competition, but we actually don’t have competition where our cabins are concerned, we are not a cash and carry manufacturer, we do not manufacture hundreds of the same cabin style  in the winter and push them out the door in the summer, all of our cabins are bespoke to order. If you are looking for a quality cabin at a very reasonable price logcabinslv.co.uk have what you are looking for.Logcabins.lv has the largest selection of log cabins on the market to date.

We are the only manufacturer able to offer, laminated log cabins, scandinavian log cabins, timber frame buildings, round log cabins, camping pods, saunas, gazebos, summer houses, Micro Housing, and so very much more.

I thought I would write a quick Blog on the difference between the two.

The Log Cabin which is sold by many in the UK is a design that originates from Europe. Yep the dreaded EU!

The First large company to mass produce LOG CABINS  was a company called Mc Garden from Germany.

Their production was around 7000 buildings a month. Their sole output was to Germany, and the rejects were then sold on to Britain and other countries.

When companies in the UK, mainly shed-manufacturers and sellers, saw how popular log cabins were becoming, then every man and his dog, started importing them and selling them. Also we have small home grown companies buying in the machinery and trying to produce log cabins themselves.

So we all shout hurray ! We have Log Cabins! But really you do not! What you have is a mess, a lot of the same, being manufactured by the same like minded people, and sold at the same pricing level! Basically we have the same rubbish being manufactured, or imported by 99.9% of cabin, log cabin sellers in the UK.

Sound’S a bit harsh? Well sorry but it’s sadly the truth.

Please go to Google and type in log cabins, or garden cabins, or something similar and what you will see is the same of the same, site after website, all of them saying they only use FSC timber, but the designs, yep starts to make you yawn!

So our once beautiful gardens are now beginning to take on a european look, this is not all bad, as the Europeans, especially the Swiss ( I know they are not in the EU) design, and craft amazing looking cabins, as do the Latvians, Lithuanians and Slovakians and of course not forgetting the Finnish and Swedish! But in general the design of a log cabin has been kept the same because of production costs and the like.

So!! Garden Log Cabins designs stem mostly from a high output, cost cutting and profit.

As everyone knows we have the most amount of log cabin designs on the globe, more to follow, but! the most important part of our designs is that they are unique, to us, Sadly though they are always copied by the half wit’s of the industry.

OK..So we thought it would be good, to offer in a stronger, more solid fashioned material (Timber )the basic, original Garden Shed design, take the garden back to looking amazing, with out high prices.Keeping the UK Original Shed designs alive!

So our New Interlocking Sheds, which are unique to us, manufactured from 28mm spruce FSC logs.

If you are looking for a quality shed, that has English Heritage , then our new interlocking sheds are with out doubt British Designed And Quality Made!

So whats new! Thats an Easy one to answer, our interlocking sheds, made from 28mm interlocking logs are 100% British, Welsh, Scottish design out buildings that will fit nicely into your back garden and won’t make a huge dent in your wallet!

We are very proud of this range, as it has taken us many months to research what were the best selling sheds in the UK, and then better them by offering them in a thicker material, with better windows and doors, with thicker floors, and keeping our FSC sourced Spruce timber natural looking, inside and out!

As most of you know, the reason most sheds are impregnated green (Tanalith) is because the timber is normally 8mm thick, which leads to very quick rotting, so to over come this most shed suppliers impregnate, and you end up with a building in your garden that is an off green colour!

Our Interlocking sheds, need a coat on the out side of a good oil based stain, and that leaves the inside fresh and natural, no nasty green chemicals!

If you are looking for a quality, little, shed, an Interlocking Shed, please follow this link and be amazed at the quality, longevity and price of these fantastic little buildings.
