Tools & equipment you’ll need to build your log cabin

Here we have a handy list of tools and equipment you’ll need to build your log cabin. You probably own the essential ones.

Screwdriver, spirit level, hammer, mallet, saw, set square, drill, stanley knife, chisel, sealant gun, tape measure (or a ball of string for checking its all square). You will also need a step ladder or ladders for when you get to roof height.

We recommend before starting your project that you are reasonably competent at DIY as there will be instances where you will need to saw, cut and trim. You will also need the help of at least one other person with gables and purlins when building the roof of the cabin.
