If you want to create a luxury log cabin, you might think about insulating it. Insulated log cabins will stay warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Better control the inside temperature of and protect all points of your building's 'thermal envelope'.
But what if you want an insulated log cabin without all the hassle of doing it yourself? You can always take a look at our BillyOh Outpost. It comes with EcoQuilt insulation in the roof, floor and walls as well as thick double glazing.
A log cabin can be turned into anything from an inspiring art studio to a garden office. Popular uses in the UK include games or reading rooms, or somewhere to entertain.
With wide-opening double doors, our buildings are designed to give you maximum use year-round. So throw open the doors in summer and spill out onto your charming terrace. Or, close the doors and get comfy in your cosy cabin whilst still making the most of the natural light.
We offer a large range of log cabins with sleek and elegant designs that also offer practicality and endless opportunity. Below are some of our top log cabins if you want to get some ideas:
1.BillyOh Tianna Log Cabin SummerhouseThe Tianna is incredibly versatile, thanks to a side store that allows it to be used for both storage and relaxation. Modern, gently sloping pent roofs (flat roofs) allow for excellent runoff and create a stylish cabin design that is sure to look great in any garden.
2.BillyOh Carmen Log Cabin SummerhouseThe Carmen has gorgeous glass double doors for maximising on natural light. 19mm or 28mm cladding is available with plenty of internal space to ensure that this is an area to enjoy all year long. You could even transform your Carmen into a home pub, thanks to the option of adding a garden bar to your cabin.
3.BillyOh Fraya Pent Log CabinAside from its aesthetically pleasing pent design, what we love about the Fraya is the front overhang. This perfectly lends itself to creating a shaded area of tranquillity, both inside your log cabin and directly outside, with the overhang keeping the sun out of your eyes on sunny days.

With fully glazed doors with options and opening windows, the Darcy allows in lots of natural light and helps to create a light and airy space for you to enjoy.
There are several different types of timber from which log cabins are commonly made, each offering a unique set of features.

The ideal thickness for your log cabin depends on where you live, the weather you experience, and how you plan to use it throughout the year.
Our BillyOh log cabins vary in thickness from 19mm to 44m. Each of these offers a different level of durability and strength. The thicker the log, the stronger and insulated your log cabin will be. This means you’ll be able to use it more often throughout the year, even in harsh and cold weather.
However, thinner log cladding can be better for summer use. Either way, all our log cabins are built from high-quality materials with a strong tongue and groove seal that ensures long-lasting quality.
Insulating a log cabin is by no means essential. Depending on your chosen log thickness, and what you intend to use it for, your log cabin will be sufficiently insulated for most usage.
However, if you plan to spend a large amount of time in your log cabin i.e. during winter, for work, or even overnight, then it’s worth considering. You can insulate your log cabin by laying Celotex boards underneath flooring and under roof cladding. For more, read our guide on insulating a log cabin.
There are a number of different ways in which log cabin wood can be treated. They include:
How much do log cabins cost and are they high maintenance? This is partially dependent on the type of treatment you applied to your log cabin. For example, choosing the add-on of pressure-treated timber means even cheap garden log cabins will require far less maintenance in the long run. But no, log cabins aren’t particularly any more high maintenance than any garden building. You get out what you put in. Just make sure to keep your roof clear of debris, maintain a healthy airflow to prevent damp, and sand, prime, and treat your timber as necessary.
For more, read our guide on preventing damp in your garden building.
This is dependent on a number of different factors including wood treatment and thickness, weather conditions, and care. However, the BillyOh guarantee covers log cabins against rot, decay, and insect infestation for up to 10 years (up to 15 for pressure-treated garden buildings). With proper care and maintenance, you could extend your log cabin’s life well beyond that.
Our BillyOh log cabins are made with high-quality materials and designed to be easy and simple to assemble. Simply follow the digital assembly instructions included in your order confirmation. With a team of at least 2 people, you can fit the interlocking tongue and groove logs together and have your log cabin up in no time!
Log cabin kits are pre-cut sections of a log cabin structure. They're assembled with some everyday tools and a bit of spare time.
Yes - throughout Scandinavia and colder countries, log cabins are a typical form of timber construction. However, they often utilise much thicker cladding than garden log cabins.
If you want the best year-round use, opt for highly insulated 44mm cladding and consider insulated and/or heating your log cabin. If intended for residential use, however, you may need to apply for planning permission.
Our log cabins come with a 10-year guarantee against rot, decay, and insect infestation; 15 years if you opt for a pressure-treated model. Regular maintenance and treatment can help you extend the usage life of your log cabin.
