Which Type of Log Cabin Is Right for You?
Log cabins are extremely versatile garden buildings and can provide anything from a compact garden retreat to a substantial home office, hobby room or multi-room building. The best choice depends less on finding the biggest cabin and more on deciding how you intend to use the space, how often you will use it and whether features such as insulation or separate rooms are important.
| Log Cabin Type | Ideal Uses | Why It Might Be Right for You |
| Compact Log Cabin | Relaxing, reading, hobbies, occasional home working or extra garden space | You want a proper garden room but have limited garden space or want to keep your overall budget lower |
| Medium Log Cabin | Garden office, hobby room, gym, studio, entertaining or family space | You want enough room for furniture, desks or equipment without allowing the building to dominate your garden |
| Large Log Cabin | Large office, games room, gym, entertainment room, studio or substantial leisure space | You need a genuinely spacious additional room and have sufficient garden space for a larger building |
| Insulated Log Cabin | Regular home working, hobbies, studio use or spending longer periods inside throughout the year | Comfort during colder weather is important, and you expect to use the cabin more frequently than a traditional summer retreat |
| Multi-Room Log Cabin | Office plus storage, hobby room plus store, separate work areas or multi-purpose family space | One large open room would not suit your needs, and you would benefit from separate areas within the same building |
| Cabin & Shed Combination | Garden room plus tools, bicycles, mower or equipment storage | You need both a comfortable garden room and practical storage but do not want two separate buildings |
| Corner Log Cabin | Relaxing, entertaining, reading, hobbies or making use of an awkward garden corner | You want to make better use of a corner position while creating an attractive focal point in the garden |
| Bespoke Log Cabin | Offices, studios, gyms, leisure rooms or layouts with particular size and design requirements | Standard dimensions or layouts do not fit your garden or the way you intend to use the building |
Think About How You Will Use Your Log Cabin
If your cabin will mainly be somewhere to relax during warmer weather, you may not need the same specification as someone working from the building five days a week. A smaller or simpler cabin can therefore provide better value when occasional leisure use is the priority.
If you intend to use the cabin regularly as a home office, studio or hobby room, consider insulation from the outset. The log cabin range offers insulation options, and specifying the building around its intended use before installation is generally preferable to trying to upgrade it later.
The best log cabin is not necessarily the largest or most expensive model. It is the building whose size, layout and specification match how you will actually use it. Browse our log cabins and compare the different designs before deciding.

Robin Antill opened the doors. As a
family-run business, we believe in offering honest advice rather than a hard sell. We take the time to understand what you need and help you choose a building that suits your garden, your budget and the way you plan to use it.
Our approach is reflected in our

We are always available to meet your needs or requirements so
contact us NOW if you would like help or advice.
We live quite far away; is it really worth visiting our show rooms? Absolutely!

A cabin for occasional summer use doesn’t need the same specification as one you’ll be working in five days a week throughout the year.
At 1st Choice Leisure Buildings, we offer 44mm log cabins and 70mm log cabins in a wide choice of sizes and designs, including apex, pent, corner, Clockhouse and multi-room buildings. Depending on the model, options include double glazing, wooden floors, roof and floor insulation, painted finishes, professional installation and base construction.
I’ve worked with garden buildings since I started Marina Sheds in 1979. My son Craig joined me in 1992 after studying carpentry at Guildford College and today runs the day-to-day business, with me still involved and supporting him when required.
Between us, there aren’t many questions about garden buildings we haven’t been asked.
Our aim isn’t to sell you the most expensive log cabin. It’s to help you choose the building and specification that make sense for what you want to do with it.
Find the Right Log Cabin
There isn’t one specification that’s right for everybody. The best cabin depends on its intended use, how often you’ll use it, your garden, your budget and whether you expect to heat it regularly during colder weather. Here’s where I’d start.
44mm Log Cabins
For most customers, 44mm is the wall thickness I’d look at first. A well-made 44mm log cabin is a substantial garden building and is suitable for many of the uses people buy cabins for, including home offices, hobby rooms, studios, entertainment rooms and general garden retreats.
You can spend more on thicker walls, but that doesn’t automatically mean you should. If you’ll use the cabin regularly in colder weather, I’d also think about the complete building rather than wall thickness alone. The floor, roof, glazing, heating and insulation all affect how comfortable the finished cabin will be.
Shop 44mm Log Cabins
70mm Log Cabins
Our 70mm log cabins provide substantially thicker timber walls and are worth considering where the cabin will see particularly demanding or frequent year-round use.
They are an excellent option, but I wouldn’t tell every customer they need 70mm walls. If your cabin is primarily for leisure use during the warmer months, or even a garden office where you’ve chosen an appropriate overall specification, a good 44mm cabin may be all you need. If you intend to heat and occupy the building for long periods throughout winter, 70mm becomes more attractive.
Shop 70mm Log Cabins
Insulated Log Cabins
If year-round comfort is important, don’t look at the walls in isolation. Heat can be lost through the roof and floor as well as the walls and glazing, so adding suitable roof and floor insulation can make more sense than simply buying the thickest walls available and assuming the job is done.
For a cabin being used as a regular home office, studio or hobby room throughout the year, insulation is something I’d seriously consider.
Shop Insulated Log Cabins
Pent Log Cabins
Pent log cabins have a single-slope roof and tend to suit customers looking for a cleaner, more contemporary appearance. They’re particularly popular for garden offices and modern gardens, and the lower-profile roof can sometimes make positioning the building easier.
Shop Pent Log Cabins
Apex Log Cabins
An apex roof gives you the traditional pitched-roof appearance most people associate with a garden building. If you prefer a classic cabin look or like the added height created by a central ridge, an apex cabin is often the natural choice.
Shop Apex Log Cabins
Corner Log Cabins
A corner log cabin can be an excellent way of making use of a part of the garden that might otherwise be wasted. They’re particularly worth considering where you want the doors and glazing arranged to look back across the garden rather than simply facing straight ahead.
Shop Corner Log Cabins
Clockhouse Log Cabins
Clockhouse cabins have a more distinctive, traditional appearance and can become a real feature in the garden rather than simply another outbuilding. If appearance matters as much as practical space, they’re well worth considering.
Shop Clockhouse Log Cabins
Multi-Room Log Cabins
A larger cabin doesn’t necessarily have to be one large room. Multi-room designs can give you an office and storage area, a hobby room and workshop, or two separate spaces for different family members. Before buying two separate garden buildings, it’s often worth seeing whether one well-planned multi-room cabin would use the available space better.
Shop Multi-Room Log Cabins
Painted Log Cabins
If you’d prefer your cabin supplied with a professionally applied finish rather than treating or painting it yourself after installation, take a look at our painted options. Selected cabins can be supplied in a choice of finishes, helping you coordinate the building with your home, garden or existing joinery.
Shop Painted Log Cabins
Log Cabins Under 2.5m Tall
Overall height can be particularly important when positioning a cabin close to a boundary. We have a dedicated range of cabins designed to stay under 2.5m overall height. Still, planning rules depend on more than height alone, so always check what applies to your property before relying on permitted development.
Shop Log Cabins Under 2.5m Tall
Log Cabins by Size
Don’t automatically buy the largest cabin you can squeeze into the garden. Think about what needs to go inside it. For an office, measure your desks, chairs and storage. For a gym, allow space around the equipment rather than measuring the equipment alone. For a hobby room or workshop, think about benches, cupboards and the space you’ll need to move around them.
Also remember the space outside the cabin. Access for installation and future maintenance matters.

44mm vs 70mm Log Cabins – Which Should You Choose?
This is one of the questions we’re asked most often. The simple answer is that 44mm is the wall thickness I’d recommend looking at first for most garden uses. Move up to 70mm when your intended use genuinely justifies the additional specification and cost.
44mm log cabins: An excellent all-round choice for most UK gardens, home offices, hobby rooms, studios and leisure spaces. They offer substantial interlocking timber walls without automatically paying for the additional thickness of a 70mm building.
70mm log cabins: Better suited where maximum natural wall insulation is important, or the cabin will be occupied and heated for extended periods throughout the colder months.
Is 70mm Always Better Than 44mm?
Technically, a thicker timber wall provides greater natural thermal resistance. But buying a garden building isn’t quite as simple as saying, “70 is bigger than 44, therefore 70 must be better.” Better for what?
If you’re sitting in the cabin every weekday in January, the extra wall thickness may be worthwhile. If you’re using it mainly from spring to autumn for hobbies, entertaining or relaxing, spending more money on 70mm walls may not give you much practical benefit.
And if thermal performance matters, I’d want to know what’s happening with the floor and roof insulation, glazing and heating before concentrating solely on wall thickness. That’s why we prefer asking customers how they’ll use their cabin before recommending one.

Which Log Cabin Is Best for Your Intended Use?
Best Log Cabin for a Garden Office
A log cabin can make an excellent home office because it provides a proper working space physically separated from the house. For occasional home working, a good 44mm double-glazed cabin may be perfectly adequate.
For somebody working from the cabin five days a week throughout the year, I’d give much more consideration to roof insulation, floor insulation, double glazing, suitable heating, electrical provision, internet connection, natural light, desk position, storage and ventilation.
I’d rather see somebody buy the right-sized 44mm cabin with a well-considered overall specification than spend the whole budget on thicker walls and overlook everything else.
Best Log Cabin for a Garden Gym
Start by measuring the equipment. Then add the space required to use it. A treadmill may fit on the floor plan but still require additional space around it. The same applies to weights, benches, exercise bikes and rowing machines. Headroom and ventilation can also be more important for a gym than they would be for a conventional garden office.
Best Log Cabin for a Hobby Room or Studio
Natural light and layout tend to be particularly important here. Think about where workbenches, easels, sewing tables, instruments or storage will go before deciding where you want the doors and windows. This is one reason I encourage customers to think about the cabin from the inside out, rather than choosing purely from an external photograph.
Best Log Cabin for Entertaining
For entertaining, usable floor area and layout often matter more than maximum insulation. Think about furniture, access to the garden, where the doors open and the outlook you’ll have when sitting inside. A cabin with plenty of glazing can feel completely different from another building with identical external dimensions.
Best Log Cabin for Year-Round Use
If you intend to heat and use the cabin regularly throughout winter, look at the complete specification. I’d consider wall thickness, roof insulation, floor insulation, glazing, heating and cabin size as a package. There is little point concentrating on one element and ignoring all the others.

What I’ve Learned About Garden Buildings Since 1979
I left school at 15 and started my own garden-building business in 1979, trading as Marina Sheds. Back then, sheds were very much the core of the business.
As customers’ gardens and expectations changed, so did we. In 1992 we expanded into summerhouses, garages, garden rooms and log cabins, and that broader direction led to us changing the business name to Titan Garden Buildings.
The same year was important for another reason. My son Craig joined the business after studying carpentry at Guildford College. Craig brought formal carpentry training into a business already built around practical experience.
In 2000 we made another major change. We stopped manufacturing buildings ourselves and concentrated on sourcing and supplying garden buildings from specialist manufacturers. We also took the business online as 1st Choice Leisure Buildings.
Today Craig runs the business day-to-day. I’m still here to support him when required and, perhaps more importantly, to pass on what I’ve learned over the years.
The names and products have changed since 1979. Our involvement with garden buildings hasn’t. That gives our family an unbroken history of working with garden buildings since 1979.

1. The Most Expensive Cabin Isn’t Automatically the Right Cabin
It’s easy to compare specifications and assume more must always be better. Thicker walls, more glass, a bigger building and more expensive roof coverings can all be worthwhile, but sometimes they aren’t.
The first question should always be: What are you actually going to use the cabin for? Once we know that, we can start deciding which specification is worth paying for.
2. Think About the Inside Before Choosing the Outside
Customers naturally start by looking at photographs of cabins. I’d suggest doing something else, too. Draw the room. Put your desk on it, or your sofa, gym equipment, workbench, pool table or storage cupboards. Then look at where the doors and windows need to be.
A cabin can look beautiful in a photograph but still be wrong for the way you want to use it.
3. Don’t Forget About the Base
A good garden building needs a good foundation. It doesn’t matter how attractive or substantial the cabin is if the base underneath isn’t suitable, level and capable of supporting it properly. I’d rather sort out a base question before the cabin arrives than try to solve a base problem afterwards.
4. Allow Space Around the Building
People understandably want to maximise internal space. But squeezing a cabin tightly between fences, walls and vegetation can make installation and future maintenance unnecessarily difficult. Think about how somebody will get around the cabin after it’s built.
5. Wall Thickness Isn’t the Whole Insulation Story
If you want a warm garden office, don’t simply ask, “What’s the thickest wall?” Ask, “How is the complete building specified?” The roof, floor, windows, doors, heating and how frequently you use the cabin all matter.
6. See a Garden Building in Person If You Can
The internet has transformed how people buy garden buildings, and we were selling them online back in 2000. But there’s still something a website can’t reproduce: walking inside one.
When you stand inside a cabin, you immediately get a sense of the space. You can look at the windows, doors, floor, roof and wall construction and compare one building with another. That’s why we’ve always believed having buildings available to view is important.

See Buildings Before You Buy
You can visit our Surrey display site and see full-size garden buildings for yourself. Compare construction, dimensions, doors, windows, floors and finishes before making your decision.
Professional Installation Options
Depending on the cabin and location, professional installation options are available so you don’t necessarily have to build the cabin yourself.
Base Options
A suitable base is fundamental to any substantial garden building. We can advise on base requirements and available base solutions.
See Our Log Cabins Before You Buy
I’ve always thought garden buildings are easier to understand when you can actually walk inside them. A photograph tells you what a cabin looks like. Standing inside tells you whether it feels big enough.
At our Surrey display site at Sutton Green Garden Centre, Whitmoor Lane, Sutton Green, Guildford, GU4 7QA, you can inspect full-size garden buildings and compare features that can be difficult to judge online.
Look at the wall construction, doors and windows, double glazing, timber floors, roof construction, internal headroom, paint finishes and different sizes and layouts.
Bring your garden dimensions and tell us what you want to use the cabin for. We’ll help you narrow down the options.

Real Log Cabins in Real Gardens
One of the best ways to choose a cabin is to see what other customers have done. Real installations show how different cabin sizes, styles and specifications work in real UK gardens.
When looking at an installation, don’t just look at the appearance. Look at the cabin model, size, wall thickness, options chosen and intended use, and consider why that customer chose the specification they did.
A cabin designed as an occasional summer retreat may be quite different from one designed for somebody working from home throughout January.
Log Cabin Buying Questions
Is a 44mm Log Cabin Thick Enough?
For most garden offices, hobby rooms, studios and leisure uses, yes – 44mm is a very good all-round wall thickness. It’s the specification we’d normally suggest customers consider first.
If you intend to heat and occupy the building for extended periods throughout winter, then we’d discuss 70mm walls and insulation with you as part of the overall specification.
View 44mm Log Cabins
Is a 70mm Log Cabin Worth the Extra Money?
It can be. The thicker wall provides greater natural thermal resistance than a 44mm wall and can be worthwhile for demanding year-round use. But not everybody needs it. We’d rather establish how you’ll use the cabin before recommending that you pay extra for 70mm walls.
View 70mm Log Cabins
What’s Better: a 44mm or 70mm Log Cabin?
Neither is universally “better”. 44mm is our normal starting recommendation for most customers. 70mm is the upgrade we’d consider for customers whose intended use makes the extra wall thickness worthwhile. The best choice also depends on roof and floor insulation, glazing, heating and how frequently the cabin will be occupied.
Can I Use a Log Cabin All Year Round?
Yes, a suitably specified log cabin can be used throughout the year. For frequent winter use, pay close attention to the overall thermal specification, not just wall thickness. Roof and floor insulation, glazing and an appropriate heating system can all contribute to comfort.
View Insulated Log Cabins
Can I Use a Log Cabin as a Home Office?
Yes. Garden offices are one of the most popular uses for log cabins. Consider how many people will work inside, desk size, storage, electrical requirements, internet access, natural light, and how often the office will be used during winter.
Do I Need an Insulated Log Cabin?
Not necessarily. For seasonal leisure use, insulation may not be a priority. If you’ll work or spend long periods inside throughout colder months, roof and floor insulation become much more valuable. Talk to us about how you intend to use the cabin, and we’ll explain the options.
Do Log Cabins Need Planning Permission?
Many garden log cabins can be installed without making a planning application where they comply with the relevant permitted development requirements. However, the rules depend on matters including the building’s position, height, intended use and the property itself. Additional restrictions can apply in some circumstances.
Don’t rely on a general website answer where planning permission is critical to your project. Check the current requirements applying to your property and, where necessary, speak to your local planning authority.
If overall height is a particular concern, see our log cabins under 2.5m tall.
What Base Does a Log Cabin Need?
A log cabin needs a firm, level and suitable base capable of supporting the building. The appropriate solution depends on the cabin, ground conditions and site. The important point is not to treat the base as an afterthought. Foundation problems can affect the entire building.
Are Log Cabins Double Glazed?
Our main Trentan and Humber log cabin ranges include double-glazed doors and windows. Check the specification of the individual model you’re considering, as features can vary between ranges and buildings.
Do Log Cabins Come With a Floor?
Our main cabin ranges include substantial wooden floors, but always check the individual product specification rather than assuming every building on the market includes one. I’d compare floor construction carefully when looking at apparently similar cabins from different suppliers.
Can You Insulate a Log Cabin?
Yes. Depending on the model, roof and floor insulation options are available and are particularly worth considering for cabins intended for frequent year-round use.
Browse Insulated Log Cabins
Can You Install My Log Cabin?
Professional installation is available for many of our log cabins. Check the individual cabin page or contact us with your postcode and the building you’re considering, and we’ll explain the available options.
How Long Does a Log Cabin Last?
There’s no honest single lifespan that applies to every timber cabin. Longevity depends on timber quality, construction, the base, exposure, roof condition, treatment and ongoing maintenance. A well-made cabin that’s correctly installed and properly maintained should provide many years of service.
Regular inspection and maintenance are far more important than somebody promising an impressive-sounding number of years.
How Do I Maintain a Log Cabin?
Timber buildings need looking after. Keep the external finish in good condition, check the roof and rainwater management, maintain appropriate ventilation and periodically inspect the building so small maintenance issues can be addressed before they become larger ones.
Can I Paint My Log Cabin?
Yes, subject to using a suitable finish and following the relevant product or manufacturer guidance. Factory-painted options are also available on selected cabins if you’d prefer the finish to be completed before installation.
Shop Painted Log Cabins
Can I See a Log Cabin Before I Buy?
Yes. We strongly encourage customers who can reach us to visit our Surrey display site. It allows you to walk inside full-size garden buildings, compare specifications and ask questions before deciding what to buy.

Not Sure Which Log Cabin to Choose?
After all these years, one thing hasn’t changed: it’s much easier to recommend a garden building once we know what somebody wants to do with it.
Tell us how you’ll use the cabin, approximately how much space you have, whether you’ll use it throughout winter, your preferred style, whether you need installation, whether you already have a suitable base and roughly what you want to spend.
We’ll help you narrow down the choices. If a 44mm cabin is all you need, we’ll tell you. If we think you’d genuinely benefit from 70mm walls, insulation or another upgrade, we’ll explain why.
