Timber Cabins, Timber Summer Houses and Log Cabins for Sale, UK

Based in Worcestershire in the UK,  Akita Cabins specialise in the building and sale of log cabins, timber summer houses and timber cabins. The individual log cabins are built from heavy gauge logs tailored to meet your exact requirements and specification. Our log cabin builders produce bespoke timber cabins which are suitable as home office, gym, garage, summerhouse, dog kennel, spa room, study and more.

Materials

All timber summer houses and timber cabins made by our log cabin builders use two heavy timber sizes: 200mm x 100mm and 250mm x 125mm

Both sizes are specially treated to reduce the risk of natural movement.

They have a rustic look and when completely weathered turn to an attractive silver/brown finish, with the bleaching effects of the sun.

Roofs

The roofs as displayed on the above photographs show our hipped design, but a regular up and over apex roof is available at your request.

All of the log cabins for sale feature attractive and very durable asphalt tiles as part of the standard roof finish. This ensures great strength and protection from all weathers. Cedar shingles are available as an optional extra which are also suitable for all our cabin designs.

Windows and Doors

Windows and doors on the timber cabins can be wooden framed or UPVC. Single or double glazed units. Position and size can be agreed during design.

Internal

The internal finish on the timber cabins can be left with a beautiful traditional cabin feel or can be given a more polished interior finish. Again its your cabin your design!

The minimum wall thickness on the log cabins and timber frame summerhouses is 100 mm, therefore added insulation isn't necessary for occasional use.

If specified the stairs and loft area can be an extra play room for the children, or an extremely useful storage space.

Electrical Installation

All log cabins for sale feature a basic electric installation which is included in your purchase price. Positioning of sockets and switches is to be agreed during design stages. Additional fittings can be added as extras.

Foundations

The construction of any timber frame or log cabin building relies on substantial foundations, this is where the work starts with the installation of an accurate square and level 4" min concrete base. Which could be finished with any suitable textile or timber flooring.

Planning

We can assist in all aspects of the design and specification of your timber frame cabin to ensure it meets with local building regulations. Planning permission regulations were revised and relaxed in October 2008. In most cases your Akita timber summer houses and timber cabins will be allowed without planning approval under the permitted development rights to your property.

Security

We took a 14lb sledgehammer to one of our timber cabins for 15 minutes and couldn't break in, how many other so called Log Cabin Builders makers can say that!

From top to toe a quality cabin of distinction built to your design to suit your needs
