About Our Cabins
Our log cabins are built to your specification an are
based upon your vision. We build them to your
specification which means whilst you are free to use our
sample designs, you can design your own, or adapt one of
our samples to suit you.
Our cabins are built from the 'heartwood' (the highest
quality section of a log) as it is the most
dimensionally stable and decay resistant portion of a
tree. This reduces the tendency for timber to twist, and
ensures that the maximum stability is gained.

Milled Logs
Milled timber has a flatter or
even flat appearance. Milled logs are suited to both
large and small buildings, and give a more European look
and feel to a log home. Milled logs can be cut to any
thickness that you require. It is recommended that for a
cabin that is for residence that you have at least 4"
1/2 thick timber, remember the thicker, the warmer and
the less need for insulation. If the property is not
intended for residence, such as a studio, a thinner
timber can be used if required.
Log Cabin Preferences
Having a home that you can count as ideal is about
making choices that suit you. That is why we offer a
whole host of options. You may see a design that you
like the look of, and there is nothing to stop you
sending us a picture or a copy of a design for us to
build from.
The choices available don't stop
at the type of timber used, the shape, size etc. You
also have a choice of how much you do. For example, you
may wish for us to supply your home as a flat pack kit
that can be assembled by you or a competent carpenter.
You may also wish that we supply and build.
Please discuss any preferences
that you have with us and we can arrange a deal that
will delight you.
