Cabin Footprint






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.
