There are a whole range of benefits that come with having a log cabin in your garden; if you’re on the hunt for extra space that’s got longevity, a log cabin has strength and high durability in abundance. Not only this, but a cabin can open up as a “use all year round” space, be it for work, entertaining, relaxing or a combination of all three. With that in mind, garden building specialists GBC Group outline five of the advantages of investing in a log cabin.

1. Eco-friendly

In a time where we are all looking to be more mindful of our choices, choosing natural materials for outdoor buildings can lead to a much more environmentally friendly garden. By choosing a log cabin, which is likely to be made from timber or similar natural resources, you can not only create a new living space, but be confident in the fact that you aren’t harming the environment by doing so.

2. It can cater to your lifestyle

Outdoor spaces are extremely flexible in terms of usability and purpose, and log cabins are no different. Whether you want to use the space in a social capacity, to host gatherings or parties, or as an environment to utilise for relaxation or even a workspace, there are simple customisation adaptations that can be made to make each of these outcomes possible. When choosing your log cabin, there’s an opportunity for customisation according to your needs, so if you’re planning on using the space for a home gym or something more-hard wearing you can select appropriate flooring to help withstand your workouts.

3. A wide range of log cabins to choose from

Gardens come in all shapes and sizes, and because of this, the options for suitable outdoor buildings has increased also, in order to fit perfectly within the required space. There are a wide range of log cabins for sale from GBC Group, coming in both traditional and contemporary styles dependant on your taste.

4. Energy Consumption is low

The materials that log cabins are made from are not only environmentally friendly but are also natural insulators, meaning the temperature of the cabin matches the outdoor temperature at the time. Because of this, minimal heating should be required throughout the milder months, resulting in saving a little money as well as the planet – bonus!

5. Suitable for all weathers

With British weather being notoriously unpredictable, it’s important to ensure that your outdoor living space is suitable and usable all year round in order to get good cost per use. A log cabin ensures that this is the case thanks to its weather resistant, durable nature. Not only this, but the way in which log cabins are constructed allows for more longevity, with these particular structures generally being seen as much longer lasting than other outdoor buildings.

There are many benefits to log cabins, and with summer on the horizon, there’s no better time to invest in your outdoor space and open up more opportunities to spend time in the garden.
