How to Choose Your Log Cabin

How to choose your log cabin

There are several important factors to consider when choosing your log cabin. Listed below is some information you should consider when making your decision.

Step 1: Decide on the use of your cabin: Summer house, garden office, extra room for the house, storage, gym or a man cave.

Summer house - If you are mainly wishing to use your cabin during the summer months. With our 44 mm thick log walls to help keep your warm and dry throughout the summer. Lillevilla 125 for example.

Garden office - If you are considering building a garden office, creating a space away from the house where you can go and focus on the task at hand. With 44 mm logs, double glazed windows, lockable doors and a large open space to fit your desk and storage, then a Lillevilla cabin is an ideal choice for you. For a garden office consider upgrading to include roof and floor insulation to help keep you warm and cosy all year round. Lillevilla 345 for example.

Extra room for your house - Our cabins would definitely be cost effective answer to adding an extra room to the house. With the majority of our cabins being beneath 2.5 metres in height, they avoid the need for planning permission (if in any doubt then please check with your local council). Adding the upgraded roofing shingles will not only prevent having to roofing felt every few years, but also looks a lot nicer and are far more durable than standard roofing felt. Lillevilla 129 for example.

Gym - This is a popular choice for quite a few customers owed to the new desire for health and fitness hitting the country. The majority of people do not have room within the house to install a gym. The Lillevilla log cabins aid in creating the required space to fit your exercise equipment and help keep you fit and healthy ( they only thing we can't do is make you use it!). Lillevilla 126 for example.

Step 2:  Working out what space you have available for your cabin to be built onto. Take a tape measure and collect your measurements. Take into account the maintenance of the cabin, you will need to treat your cabin every few years depending on the treatment that you use.

We offer two main styles of cabin the traditional and contemporary. The traditional style comes with an apex roof with double glazing widows on the front. The contemporary style cabin has a pent roof with large front windows opening the cabin up to daylight.

Head over to our website products page and utilize our simple sliders that will help you make your choice of cabin. Each cabin has optional extra's to help create a product to help create your ideal log cabin. We have an online chat service to help assist you with any inquiries you have when attempting to make your decision.

News Update December 2014 - Trip to Finland and What's To Come

Visiting Our Cabin Supplier in Finland

This week three members of our team headed to Finland to meet with one of our main suppliers of our superb log cabins. One of the aims of the trip is to discuss the possibility of sourcing new log cabins for 2015. The guys are visiting the Luoman sawmill in Parkano.

We use Luoman as a supplier as they always deal in high quality and resilient timber. The timber they use is acquired from near the Arctic circle and is always at its highest quality when it is cut. The area they acquire the logs from is a sustainable forest and this can be seen as they are allowed to use the PEFC logo (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes). They also have Several ISO certificates and the Lillevilla brand have been given the CE mark of approval.


Throughout the year we have been talking to our customers about certain aspects of their cabins that they would either like to see changed or improved upon. After gaining a large amount of positive feedback and a few suggestions we have put this information forward to our supplier and are hoping that some of these changes can be affected in 2015.

Life Cycle Of A Log Cabin

Welcome to Lillevilla

Welcome to our first Blog and for our first Blog we wanted to tell you a bit about ourselves here at Lillevilla Log Cabins. In our first Blog we are going to share some information with you on the process of acquiring our lumber all the way up until install. 

From Finland, near the Arctic circle, there is an abundance of sustainable Spruce. For every tree cut down many more are planted in its place, which means we are making the most of a resource that is not only renewable but also incredibly eco-friendly.

Due to growing near the Arctic circle the spruce which we use is more durable than any other available.
By using this tough spruce we can create beautiful and durable log cabins.

Once the spruce has reached maturity and the ideal density it is harvested and brought to a Luoman site to be cut into the required lengths with an incredibly thick 45mm log thickness with a tonge and groove join. This makes the cabin much sturdier as well as easier to assemble.

Not only can the product be assembled by the end user, you can also use our professional, highly rated and efficient installations teams who cover a vast majority of the UK. Generally speaking it would only take a single day for our installers to assemble the cabin. Unlike most of our competitors our installers are usually with you within one to two days of delivery.

Lots of research has been conducted with the intent of creating a durable and aesthetically pleasing product that appeals to those interested in creating a garden office, garden retreat and many more possibilities to utilize an eye pleasing and functional log cabin. Due to our close relationship with our supplier and their advanced manufacturing techniques we are able to offer a varying amount of Bespoke designs.

As standard we incorporate the flooring which sits above a damp proof membrane, all the shown doors and windows which as standard are double glazed and also the roof felt, although we do offer an improved roof with a hexagonal shingle design. We do not believe in charging extra for these items whilst you will find most of our competitors do not supply these as standard and may even charge extra for these required items.

We are constantly striving to improve our products and stay in touch with our desired audience by offering deals, competitions and a top rate customer service and we actively encourage customer feedback. We even have a Facebook page with which we actively engage with past, present and future customers: https://www.facebook.com/lillevillauk  

We also have a lot of information on our website for example model details and company information as well as contact details:

We hope that our first Blog was informative and provided a bit of background information about our processes. 
With a big thank you for reading we also hope that you will return to read our future weekly Blogs which may even include competitions, special offers, new products and future plans.
