Monday, October 12th, 2009

Log cabins are great for storage purposes, weekend retreats, romantic getaways, and so much more. And log cabin kits are a great, affordable alternative to the pricey custom built homes. Depending on your specific needs and intended uses, one type of log cabin kit may prove more efficient than others. A few of the most popular log cabin kits and their uses are briefly described below.

Log Shed Kit

A log shed can be considered as an additional room or an extension of your home. About the size of a standard bedroom, shed kits are very versatile since they can be placed just about anywhere and used for just about anything.

Log Cabin Kit

Somewhat larger than a standard bedroom, log cabins are excellent choices for setting up a private retreat on your undeveloped property (sure beats a tent!), or creating a comfortable hideaway in your backyard.

Garden Cabin Kit

As the name implies, garden cabins are the perfect solution for storing gardening tools and supplies, as well as partaking in the hobby.  Garden cabin kits are typically between 7’ and 10’ – just enough space have immediate access to all of your gardening goodies while planting seedlings or arranging flowers in the comfort of your own garden getaway.

Summer House Kit

The summer house is the crème de la crème of log cabin kits. These homes are tailored to the consumer who desires spacious living quarters. Whether the purpose is an actual summer cabin or a transition home on your dream lot, these cabin kits present the space and designs to provide ultimate livability at unbeatable prices.

Regardless of your log cabin selection, it should be constructed of 100% natural wood and include doors and windows. Your supplier of choice can describe in detail all the specifications of your outdoor wood kit.

Naturally a full-sized summer cabin will not fit neatly into your backyard. Likewise, a log cabin shed would be inadequate as a guest home on your lot of undeveloped acreage. These examples illustrate perhaps the most difficult part of attaining the right cabin: the decision making process! The process begins with deciding and defining the cabin’s intended purpose and taking into account the size of the cabin-designated area. To get the process started, consider these questions:

  • Will the cabin be in a backyard, or on another property / location?
  • Will the cabin be used in conjunction with an existing home or will it be used as a residence?
  • If the cabin is used as a home, is it intended to be permanent (long term) or temporary (short term)?
  • If utilized in conjunction with an existing home, what will be the log cabin’s use (i.e. storage shed, garden cabin, spare room, etc)?

With the above questions answered you can better conceptualize where the cabin is going to be placed and what it is going to be used for; in other words, you are one step closer to choosing the right cabin. The next step is to decide what aspects you would like your log cabin to feature.

Answering these questions will help:

  • Is affordability important?
  • Do you prefer 100% natural, top-quality wood?
  • Should it consist of a door(s) and/or window(s)?
  • Would you prefer customizable options?
  • Do you want the possibility for disassembly?

If you answered yes to these questions then a log cabin kit is the right log cabin for you. Finding a shed kit supplier who specializes in superior quality outdoor wood projects is the final step. By choosing the right supplier you can be assured that any questions you have will be answered, that any loose ends pertaining to your decision making process will be addressed, and that all of your size and function needs will have been met.
