log cabin

I'm actually in Sweden but I'm a brit so thought I'd try on this forum. We have an old (150 yr old) log cabin which I am renovating, currently insulating the upstairs. 2 x 4 stud walls with 100mm celotex between studs, VCL, then 50mm Celotex over studs. The walls are very uneven so there is a...

I want to insulate my log cabin as economically as possible and would like to keep it warm as much as possible for 6 to 8 hours between 15 to 20 degrees. My log cabin is 4mX4m and the tallest point is 260cm ( 2.6m). So I guess the side walls are 2.4m. it doesn't have studs except on the roof...

After being in our latest house for about 6 months, I'm thinking of building a log cabin at the end of our garden about 40-45m back from our garage, but I need to be sure that we can safely and effectively supply it with electricity before even starting the project. Connecting directly into the...

We're planning a self-build, but need temporary on-site accommodation as I will be the main contractor. There will be 2 of us living there and we have plenty of room away from the main build (half acre plot). Unfortunately, due to difficult access, a caravan would need to be craned in, so will...

Hi folks Just wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a log cabin company? Preferably with installation. I've read through older threads, looks like Dunster House and Kybotech are ones to avoid, and tuin cabinville garden life ok, but hoping for up to date/recent experiences. Many thanks

Hi, I'm having a log cabin built at the bottom of my garden. It was originally intended to be for dual use as a summer house and for extra storage but I'm now thinking that we could use it as a gym and with that in mind, it would be great to be able to have a shower and perhaps a WC/washroom as...

Hi, I am building the foundations for a garden office of 3.8m by 3.9m footprint Access to the site is not great (approx 70m walk with wheelbarrow and rising about 5m) so I want to use materials that I can carry up a little each evening. This rules out a concrete raft so I am considering...

Hi all, wondered if anyone can help. I can't seem to find definitive answers online and am dubious about contacting building control and flagging them as to my intentions unnecessarily. We've had a new 5m x 3m log cabin installed in our rear garden and planning to hook up a toilet, hand basin...
