Cabin Footprint

< Back to Options

Choose your size.

Embark on the exciting journey of choosing the perfect cabin size—a decision that not only depends on the available space at your site but also factors in the intended use of the building or even a predetermined budget. Tailor your cabin dimensions to suit your vision, whether it be a rectangular, square, L-shaped, or another unique footprint that aligns seamlessly with your preferences.

When considering dimensions, keep in mind that all measurements are taken to the outside faces of the walls. The cabin will appear slightly larger at the corners, where the wall logs project approximately 100mm in each direction. Additionally, factor in the space required for roof overhangs, as outlined in the provided table. This ensures that your cabin not only looks proportionate but also functions optimally.

Practicality is key. Allow at least 400mm of space around the cabin to facilitate easy maintenance and decoration, creating a harmonious balance between aesthetics and accessibility.

Roof overhangs	Apex/ridge	Dutch	Pyramid	Moderna
Eaves	180mm	200mm	300mm	235mm
Gable (if at front)	239mm	360mm	300mm	235mm
Gable (if at back)	239mm	120mm	300mm	235mm
Gable (if at side)	239mm	220mm	300mm	235mm

Size Price Breaks:

You can choose ANY width or depth but to get the best value for money it is advisable to stay within our size breaks. For example if you wanted 3.6m we would price for a next size up 3.95m log and cut the size down. Larger sizes over 10m are available.

2.0m	2.0m	2.0m	2.0m
2.45m	2.45m	2.45m	2.45m
3.0m	3.0m	3.0m	3.0m
3.35m	3.35m	3.35m	3.35m

How to Work Out the Cabin Height:

The standard ridge height depends on the cabin width and can be worked out using the information in our calculations table below.

Ridge height = Side height + Gable rise + Adjustments

Roof style	Pitch	Side height	Gable rise (mm)
Classic apex/ridge	19 degrees	2138 mm (16 logs inc. bearers)	0.17 x gable width (mm) + 40mm
Classic apex/ridge	30 degrees	2138 mm (16 logs inc. bearers)	0.29 x gable width (mm) + 40mm
Classic apex/ridge	42 degrees	2333 mm (17.5 logs inc. bearers)	0.45 x gable width (mm) + 40mm
Dutch	42 & 24 degrees	2138 mm (16 logs inc. bearers)	0.33 x gable width (mm) + 40mm
Pyramid	20 degrees	2333 mm (17.5 logs inc. bearers)	0.18 x gable width (mm) + 80mm
Moderna	slight	2333 mm (17.5 logs inc. bearers)	+ 90mm
Garages	As above	As above + 130mm (extra log)	As above
Adjustments
Extra log levels		+ 130mm
Comfort roof			+ 56mm
Building regs roof			+ 136mm
Building regs floor		+ 40mm
