Holiday Log Homes

Log cabin kits do take time to assemble, but the finished product will be something you and your family can enjoy and appreciate for many years to come.

Try to opt for toughen glass in your log cabin because plastic fades over time.

Building your own log cabin as a second home gives you the option to erect your log cabin wherever you want (subject to planning permission).

Log homes and log cabins are not maintenance free, which is a very common misconception.

Years ago the availability of logs as well as that of labour were two of the most important factors affecting the size of the log cabin.

Gone are the days when log cabins had dirt floors and no utilities. Today’s log cabins can be as comfortable as your own home; with insulated walls, tiled roof, full central heating, and double glazed windows.

There are two types of wood that are commonly recommended for log cabins: spruce and Scandinavian pine.

Log cabins are basically a building made from logs. Cabins made out of logs are a common feature in rural areas as well as many cities around the world.

Although log cabins and log houses are constructed from the similar materials they do have some differences; log cabins are usually built with round rather than hewn or hand-worked wood where as log houses tend be a one story building, with an almost "less finished" appearance (unlike the log cabins) as these were initially constructed with the intention of being short-term.

Purchasing log cabin kits is one of the easiest and most convenient ways to build log homes.
