Small Log
Cabins Make Rustic Retreats, Storage Sheds, and
Backyard Hideaways
There’s
nothing like relaxing in a house made out of
Tennessee Cedar Milled logs to get you reconnected
with nature. Many rural-loving folks pine for small log
cabins as vacation homes,
permanent residences or, why not, even for backyard
shed storage. There is a rustic nature about them
that is very appealing.
Consider that small log cabins can be spacious
enough to house whirlpool hot tubs, skylights, heat
and water, and more.
Originally, log cabins were designed exclusively
as permanent homes. In the 1800’s log homes could be built in a few days using
very basic tools. These early cabins were simple yet
sturdy and very inexpensive to make. They stood the
test of time and survived all that nature subjected
them to.
Today, while construction has become more
sophisticated, log cabin style garden sheds are a
fun if not quaint addition to the backyard.
So how much does one cost? Prices can be steep
but the costs varies
depending on the quality and the size. If you are
looking into a log cabin style garden shed, do-it-yourself log
cabin kits, with supplies and instructions, range
between $6000 and $10,000. Companies have online purchase
set up and the do-it-yourself kits can be shipped to
you.
Other cabin styles are modular and assembled
before delivery so that the same day you see it
arriving on a flatbed trailer, you can start
transforming it into a sleeping cabin, artist
studio, potting shed, or whatever.
While log homes have certainly come a long way since the
1800’s, to have a miniature version in your
own backyard is a treat.
