There are so many benefits to choosing a log cabin. One of the main reasons families and couples choose a log cabin over a traditional brick home is for its rustic style. The timber is attractive and creates a relaxing atmosphere, whether you are looking for a summer getaway home, or even a space for working and retreating from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Of course, being made from timber means that log cabins are long-lasting and are able to deal with Australian weather a lot better than other building materials. Plus, our assembly kits are made for people who want to build their log cabins themselves and they come with detailed instructions so that you and a friend can build them together. Construction is very easy and you can build it yourself. What’s more, this makes it more affordable than conventional homes too. We even offer a best price and quality guarantee at Log Houses Australia. But, it’s not just building a log cabin that is more affordable; they are also a lot more efficient to run too. With thermal mass, log cabins are able to maintain a comfortable temperature in your new home no matter what the season is. This means better insulation and less energy used. Just make sure your log cabin is properly sealed and you can expect to be between 15 and 20 percent more energy efficient than having a conventional home.
This may depend on the location of your log cabin and if your new log home is over 20 sq meters, it will be your responsibility to get approval to build it. Of course, this does mean that if you are choosing a log cabin under 20 sq meters, whether it is a garden log cabin or a log garage, you will be able to build this freely on your own property.
The delivery time of your new log cabin is from 11-16 weeks. This process ensures that your model is designed to a high quality and prepared with the correct building plans. While time of delivery can change depending on the season and any other logistical issues, we will always try to delivery your new log cabin as quickly as possible and at a time that suits you.
Regular maintenance will ensure that your log cabin stands the test of time and looks just as attractive as the day that it was first built. It is recommended that any log cabin that you choose should be treated and painted to protect against water and moisture getting into the timber and causing rot and damage. In addition, having a coating on timber will protect from damaging UV radiation. We also recommend painting windows frames from the inside too.
Yes, if you are a handy person with tools, then construction is relatively easy. You will need 2 people to put up the main structure and kits under 20m² should take no more than 2-4 days to complete a basic cabin after the footings are done. We provide all construction details with a log cabin kit. However, you could also hire your own labour for the job - we also have all the right professionals to do the job for you.
