Different Log Thicknesses for a Bespoke Log Cabin:
If you are struggling to choose a log thickness that best suits your design then please take a look at our recommendations below on the common uses for each thickness:
28mm: A great choice for cabins on the smaller side of things, commonly used in buildings for storage/sheds. You generally wouldn't choose this thickness if your building has a width span greater than 4m.
40mm: A prominent option for a thicker log while keeping the building cost-effective, the 40mm/44mm log tends to be more the commonly used thickness as it fits perfectly for summerhouse and garden office-type designs.
44mm: The 44mm Log is very similar to the 40mm log however an important thing to note is that to get double glazing on the building, the building needs to be a minimum of 44mm logs.
58mm: Having a thickness of 58mm gives you a much stronger log leading to a more structurally sound building which also makes it a lot easier for heat to be retained in the building, this thickness is a great option if you are looking for
70mm: Our 70mm log is one of our most substantial log thicknesses, commonly used on larger structures this option is ideal for accommodation/gyms/changing rooms and even commercial building use with the thicker log and is great for all-year-round use.
92mm: The thickest of our available log options this creates the ultimate building, this is a unique log thickness specially made for the bespoke range.
