Bespoke Log Cabins: Design Your Dream Garden Building

At The Log Cabin Store, we believe your garden building should be as unique as your vision. Our Bespoke Cabins service is where your design flair can truly come into its own. Forget compromising on size or layout; we work with you to create a completely custom timber building that perfectly meets your aesthetic and functional requirements. Whether you need extra windows, odd sizes, specific internal walls, or simply a thicker log for superior insulation, our bespoke service brings your ideal log cabin to life.


Key Advantages of Choosing a Bespoke Cabin

Choosing a bespoke log cabin guarantees a solution tailored precisely to your needs, maximising every inch of your space. Our handcrafted timber buildings are designed for superior performance and flexibility:

  • Custom Design Control: You dictate the exact specifications, including door and window positions, internal partitioning, and overall building style.
  • Enhanced Durability: The minimum wall thickness for a bespoke cabin is 44mm, ensuring excellent structural integrity, insulation, and year-round comfort.
  • Perfect Fit: We design the cabin to precisely fit awkward or non-standard garden spaces, guaranteeing a flawless installation.
  • Premium Materials: All bespoke builds are constructed using the same high-quality Nordic spruce as our standard range, ensuring longevity and a beautiful finish.

Understanding the Bespoke Design Rules

While we offer immense flexibility, there are a few general rules of bespoke cabins that help us maintain structural integrity and efficient manufacturing:

  • The minimum wall thickness for a bespoke cabin is 44mm.
  • The maximum width in one direction is 5.5m when using 44mm or 70mm logs.
  • We cannot manufacture any angled bespoke building; all corners must be right-angled to ensure a robust, interlocking structure.
  • Lead times vary but are typically between 6 – 12 weeks from confirmation of the final design and deposit.
  • As a general rule, bespoke builds are typically around 35% more than an equivalent 'off the shelf' version due to the custom design and engineering process.

How to Get a Price for Your Bespoke Build

Getting an accurate costing for your bespoke log cabin is a straightforward process. We need a few key measurements and preferences to plot your design:

  1. Visit Our Showrooms: Pop into one of our branches and speak to one of our knowledgeable staff members in person.
  2. Provide Your Specification: Ideally, bring the following specifications:Width and length of the required footprint.Desired eave height and ridge height.Precise door and window positions.The style of building you already like (e.g., Apex roof, Pent roof).
  3. Receive Your Accurate Costing: Once we have these details, we can plot these measurements into our bespoke calculator to generate an accurate costing and confirm the feasibility of your design.

Even if you don’t know exactly what you want, speak to one of the team. We can help guide you through the options and help you design a custom timber building that is not only right for the space but a building that is absolutely right for you.

Maximising Potential: The Best Uses for Bespoke Cabins

The true value of a bespoke log cabin lies in its ability to perfectly fill a highly specific need that 'off the shelf' designs simply can't meet. If you require a large garden office with a custom-placed storage annex, a home gym designed to accommodate a specific piece of heavy equipment, or a multi-room guest lodge with a precise internal layout for plumbing, a bespoke build is the only solution. This service is particularly popular for commercial clients needing unique retail units or specialist educational buildings that must conform to awkward site boundaries, ensuring every centimetre of your space is maximised for functionality and design flair.
