Building Your Log Cabin
You don’t need to be a qualified carpenter to assemble one of our log cabin kits. Our self build log cabin kits are designed to make installation as straightforward as possible, even for confident DIY customers.

This video shows a 4m x 4m Twin Skin log cabin being assembled, giving you a better idea of how the installation process works.
You will still need basic woodworking skills for finishing work or optional alterations. If you are unsure about any stage of the installation, we recommend using a suitable contractor.
We also offer a professional log cabin installation service if you would prefer your building to be supplied and fitted by our experienced team.
As timber is a natural material, slight movement and variation can occur over time, which is completely normal for wooden garden buildings.
