Log Cabin - Massive Help Needed!!!!

Gemma Deeble · 8 Jan 2018 at 10:50

So, we have the need for an additional bedroom and so the plan is to move our teenage son out to a log cabin in the garden.
We have started to do some pricing for the project and it is of course more costly than we would hope.
We are looking for a 3m by 3m min and of course the main point is it needs to be warm in the winter with any form of insulation/heating.

We are more than like going to get it professionally built. But what do we need to ensure, eg Roof/Floor insulation, ventilation? Can we get the cheaper cabin of the 19mm/28mm thickness wood and then insulate or should we stretch to the 44mm - will it still need insulation?

Any experiences or advice would be very very welcomed!!

Thanks.

Yeah will be taking my chances as it will be for occasional sleep overs! But need to know how to make it work really!

thanks

Not to bottom of garden it will be next to house as can be within the regulations, and we have a covered walk way already and he will always have option to come back into house to sleep just all his kit and stuff out there. We are looking to build a functioning room cabin, not a shed and he wants it...it wasn't our first option but one that seems the best option for all.

Not a joke thread at all. Just someone trying to get the best ideas and experiences for things like insulation and warmth, to get some ideas and options.
