Planning Permission and Building Regulations
Before embarking on your cabin installation, verify if you require planning permission. In the UK, the largest log cabin you can install without permission is one with an overall height of 2.5 meters.
Garden buildings used for letting or occupation may need additional permission from your local authority. As such, it’s best to check specifics on the UK government's planning permission portal to prevent future issues.
Insulation Opportunities for Your Garden Building
To protect your log cabin from harsh weather conditions and ensure it’s comfortable for year-round use, you may want to consider the optional add-ons. You can order the following upgrades from us:
- Double-glazing for windows and doors (With three glazing options)
- Roof shingles
- EPDM rubber roof insulation
- Guttering kits
- Wood treatment
These floor and roof insulation options enhance functionality and regulate the internal temperature of your log cabin. Plus, these add-ons will extend the lifespan of your outdoor structure by safeguarding it against the elements.
There are several advantages to owning a large log cabin. We explore a few here:
- Space: Our large log cabins offer plenty of space to chill out and relax. You can install a cabin with multiple rooms or an open design, depending on your needs. Whether you're working from home or storing garden tools, there’s room to make it your own.
- Style: Our log cabins feature a classic, timeless design that will never go out of style. They add a touch of rustic charm to any property.
- Durability: Our garden rooms are built by expert craftspeople to last. The thick logs are naturally resistant to rot and decay, so you can be sure that your cabin will stand strong for many years.
- Environmentally friendly: Our log cabins are made from natural materials, including sustainable spruce wood. This means they're a great way to reduce your environmental impact.
- Easy to maintain: While some people think that garden log cabins are difficult to maintain, this is not the case. Regular maintenance requires applying a good quality wood treatment every 12 months (every 6 months during wetter winter months).
- Soundproofing: The solid timber and double-glazed windows provide excellent natural soundproofing. Ideal for noisy log cabin workshops or summer houses.
- Energy-efficient: Our roomy garden cabins offer excellent energy efficiency due to their strong build and naturally insulating timber materials. Optional add-ons and design choices like thicker walls, double-glazing, and additional roof and floor insulation further help retain heat and reduce energy use.
Our stunning and functional big log cabins for sale offer many unique features, including:
- Pressure-treated timber: Each log cabin has a pressure-treated base bearers, ensuring long-lasting protection against rot, insects and decay. This treatment works its magic by extending the lifespan of the wood.
- Different shapes: Our log cabin range comes in various shapes and sizes, allowing you to choose the perfect fit for your outdoor space.
- Tongue and groove construction: Our sophisticated tongue and groove timber roof and wall designs improve the insulation and structural integrity of your building. The interlocking logs provide a secure, tight fit with a polished finish.
- Solid wall logs: Our large log cabin kits have thick, solid wall logs that provide excellent insulation and strength. Enjoy a stable internal temperature throughout the colder and warmer months.
- Double glazing with 3 mm glass: Our large log cabin homes feature double-glazed windows that improve thermal efficiency while reducing heat loss. This helps keep your log cabin warm in winter and cool in summer, with the added benefit of soundproofing.

We’ve answered our customers’ common questions to help you choose the right log cabin for your garden space.
What log cabin styles work for limited outdoor space?
A corner log cabin can be a good solution if your needs exceed your available space. Designed to fit neatly into the corner of a garden, these cabins make efficient use of awkward or underused areas.
Their angled layout opens up the centre of your outdoor space. Use this valuable extra room for different applications like an independent living space, storing garden equipment or a garden office. Corner log cabins are ideal for smaller gardens where every square metre counts.
What is the best roof style for UK weather conditions?
At Log Cabin Kits, we've got plenty of roof options to handle whatever the British weather throws at you. Here are our three most popular designs and why they work so well:
Apex Roof
This is your classic triangular roof seen in traditional log cabins with two slopes meeting at the top ridge. For good reason, the apex roof has been a UK favourite for centuries.
- Perfect for rainy areas as water and snow slide right off
- Creates extra headroom inside - great if you want to use the loft space
- Timeless style that works in most garden settings
- Proven design that has withstood British weather for generations
Reverse Apex
Think of this as the apex's clever cousin. It has the same triangular profile but rotated 90 degrees, so the ridge runs from front to back.
- Ideal for narrower garden plots
- Handles heavy rainfall just as effectively as the standard apex
- Creates an interesting architectural feature
- Works brilliantly when you want to maximise front windows
Pent Roof
For a contemporary look, a pent roof features one clean, sloping surface that typically tilts from front to back.
- Sleek, contemporary appearance is frequently seen in modern log cabins
- Perfect for areas with height restrictions
- Simpler design but still manages rainfall effectively
- Allows for taller front windows to let in more light
- Complements modern garden designs beautifully
