If you want to avoid the rigmarole of getting planning permission for your proposed cabin project, consider a log cabin with a height of no more than 2.5 m. This ruling comes into effect if the building is to be positioned less than 2 m from your boundary. If this is the case, then look at our impressive selection of log cabins under 2.5 metres high to stay within boundary restrictions.

Planning Regulations and Requirements
While smaller log cabins don’t usually require planning permission, there are still other restrictions to be aware of if you want to buy a log cabin.
It's important to note that there may be other regulations and requirements that need to be met before building a log cabin under 2.5m. For example, the log cabin must not be located closer than 2 m to any boundary unless it’s below the 2.5 m height limit. For more information on this, take a look at the UK’s government planning permission portal for detailed explanations.
Choosing the Right Cabin
When choosing a cabin under 2.5m, it's important to consider the intended use of the structure and to choose materials and finishes that will be durable and weather-resistant. Some common uses for these smaller cabins include:
- Garden office
- Hobby room
- Home gym
- Guest room
- Playroom
- Reading nook
The size and floor layout of the log cabin will also need to be carefully planned to maximise your garden space and functionality.
Customising Your Stylish Log Cabin
Most of our standard selection of log cabins with a width of no more than 5 m can be adjusted to fall within this ruling. If you like a design from elsewhere on our website, contact our office and we can discuss the options to have the cabin manufactured with a lower roof.
Overall, low garden sheds are a great option for those looking for extra space on their property. However, it's important to do your research and make sure you comply with all relevant regulations and requirements.
There are many benefits of adhering to log cabin height restrictions, including:
- No planning permission required: In most applications, log cabins under 2.5m in height can be built without the need for planning permission, making them an affordable and hassle-free option.
- Cost-effective: Log cabins under 2.5m are generally more cost-effective to build and maintain than larger structures. They require fewer materials, labour, and energy to construct and can also be more energy-efficient for heat and cooling.
- Versatility: Cabins under 2.5 m can be used for a variety of purposes, such as storage sheds and garden offices.
- Eco-friendly: Our log cabins under 2.5 m are built using eco-friendly natural spruce wood sourced from sustainable forests. Our low sheds are also designed to maximise natural light and ventilation, reducing the need for artificial lighting and HVAC systems.
- Soundproofing: Our fully interlocking quality wall logs are made from natural spruce wood, providing natural insulation, soundproofing and a rustic look and feel.
- Customisation: Our cabins under 2.5m in height can be customised to fit a wide range of purposes, including home offices, studios, and low garden storage sheds.
The key features of our quality timber log cabins under 2.5m highly enhance both the function and style of your outdoor space. These include:
- Height: The most obvious feature of Cabins under 2.5m is their height. Our cabins are built to be less than 2.5 metres high to comply with regulations that allow them to be built without planning permission.
- Sizes: Cabins under 2.5m are smaller in size than traditional buildings, which can make them more affordable and easier to build. However, they can still be designed to include all the necessary features and amenities for comfortable living.
- Insulation: This is essential for keeping a cabin under 2.5m comfortable and energy-efficient for year-round use. Log Cabin Kits provides convenient optional add-ons like EPDM rubber roofing and roof shingles to maximise energy efficiency.
- Windows and Doors: Adequate windows and doors are crucial for natural light and ventilation in a cabin under 2.5 m. Our double-glazed windows and doors can also improve insulation and energy efficiency.
- Three glazing options: Fortunately, we provide three different glazing options and toughened glass to keep your log cabin warm throughout the winter.
- Solid wall logs: Each and every log cabin is constructed with fully interlocking wall logs ranging from 34 mm up to 90 mm. These important elements maintain the structural integrity of your lovely summer house throughout the year.
