Hi,
Anyone with experience of buying log cabins online
willing to offer advice both on ease of building
and quality of product and supplier.
Ideally looking for something 3m x 3m approx.
On delivery do they tend to dump by roadside and leave you
to get on with it?

Any advice much appreciated

Cheers

The mind boggles! If you are trolling, congratulations on being
the most amusing one I have seen in ages. If you aren't, please
could you fill us in with WHY you want to buy a log cabin online?
And even where in the UK sells such things at all :-)

As you may gather, I can't help with your questions. I assume that
you really DO mean log cabins, and not just timber sheds.

Nick Maclaren.

WHY ? why not online
Checkout www.cabinville.co.uk www.logcabinsgarden-centre.co.uk

also B&Q offer similiar range, just wondering if anyone had actually
bought cabins and had advice to offer

I think I mean log cabins Nick but yes thick timber sheds would suffice

I think its genuine Nick, lots of people do them including
www.gardenbuildingsdirect.co.uk

I was looking at an advert for two storey large holiday type ones only
last week, priced from 17k including double glazing etc, if you had the
land this must be one of the cheapest ways of getting a habitable
building on it. I am not sure of second home rules, is a log cabin
(temporary building?) treated any differently as far as poll tax etc is
concerned does anyone know?

That's a nasty thing to say, how could you? false, malicious gossip

More likely that urglers aren't into log cabins, so have nothing to share.

I'm not sure why log cabins are particularly unsuitable in the UK?

In Devon we have a tradition of houses that are politely described as
'thatched cob cottages' - if they were somewhere hotter, I reckon that
would translate to 'grass roofed mud hut'.

Tradition or no tradition, mud is a silly building material - a little
neglect, and they just wash away in the rain. Compared with that, timber
seems like quite a sensible building material.

Up the lane from me, there is a bungalow built entirely of wood, which I
understand is about 20 years old. I wouldn't call it a thing of beauty,
but it seems reasonably robust.

Damp, woodworm and wet rot. We have 4 months in almost every year
where the relative humidity is nearly 100% and the temperature is
above freezing. Without VERY effective timber treatment (CCA etc.)
and/or a VERY effective damp course, softwoods and most hardwoods
rot in short order near the ground.

All of the SURVIVING timber-framed houses have both a fairly high
stone/brick base AND are made out of expensive and durable woods
like oak heartwood.

Furthermore, until very recently, the UK had few of the straight,
narrow-trunked trees that are suitable for building log cabins.
The native trees are almost all the wrong shape, though coppiced
chestnut etc. would do.

Yup. I have lived in both.

Not really. Putting up a mud hut in central Africa or the fens
would have taken a day's work for a couple of men. So what if it
lasts only 2 years? Just build another. Cob is a lot more work,
but it is very damp-resistant.

Log cabins are a LOT more work, and so need to last correspondinly
longer.

Look at the foundations again.
