Both types of garden buildings also make excellent home gyms. Home gyms can take up a lot of room in the house so having one in the garden saves space in your home. Choosing a corner summerhouse or log cabin is a fantastic way to use up that extra bit of space in the corner of your garden without compromising on any interior space. If you only have a few pieces of equipment then a summerhouse is a good option as these are available in smaller sizes. We advice those who need extra space to accommodate larger equipment to consider a log cabin.
Again, security needs to be considered when building a garden gym. Most log cabins and summerhouses come with pre-fitted locks, however, always make sure that all windows are secure. Garden building alarms are available and are specially designed to be used on these products.
We offer various types of cladding to suit various styles and budgets. Our range of overlap, shiplap and premium cladding summerhouses are designed and manufacture in the UK. Log cabins usually use tongue and groove cladding throughout the entire building, including floor and roof.
The main difference between log cabins and summerhouses is the size. Summerhouses tend to come in smaller sizes to fit in the average size garden whereas, a log cabin are much larger buildings taking up a lot of space in your garden. Budget is also a major factor when trying to decide between a log cabin and a summerhouse. Due to their size, log cabins are usually more expensive than summerhouses.
Both types of buildings have similar installation and maintenance requirements, but remember the bigger the building the more maintenance it will need. A garden building is an investment so always plan for the future.
