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 does need 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 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.
As a company we offer a very large selection of standard log cabin models ranging in style, size, log thickness and much much more! We're proud of the number of buildings we have on hand and can often meet the requirements of our customers with those alone. If however nothing does seem to suit your requirements then have no fear as we can certainly still try and help through our bespoke service instead.
If you cannot find a Log Cabin that suits your exact needs we can make one for you. Log thicknesses available are 28, 40, 44, 58, 70 and 92mm thick wall logs. Bespoke buildings are only available in Apex, Pent or Flat roof configurations.

Please note, in the summer our staff may take longer to return to you with plans, due to it being an overall busier period.
