Building the Ideal Residential Log Cabin: 95mm Logs and Mobile Compliance.

This project wasn’t just another build; it was an opportunity to create a breathtaking space that’s as functional as it is beautiful. Crafted from 95mm x 185mm triple groove-graded Norwegian Spruce logs, the cabin offers exceptional strength, durability, and insulation. The pre-painted residential-grade windows and doors add a modern touch, while ensuring a weatherproof and low-maintenance finish.

One of the standout features of this cabin is its full compliance with mobile regulations, ensuring flexibility for transport and assembly. Whether you’re planning to use it as a luxury retreat, a home office, or even a full-time residence, this cabin fits the bill beautifully.

Year-Round Living: Superior Insulation for Your Log Cabin Home.

To ensure year-round comfort, we included 200mm insulation for both the floor and roof. This makes the cabin energy-efficient and perfectly suited for all seasons. The newly installed log burner not only delivers warmth but creates a cosy, inviting atmosphere—ideal for unwinding after a busy day. Additionally, the inclusion of a sleek, compact kitchen offers practicality without compromising on design.

Every inch of this cabin reflects our meticulous attention to detail, from the precision-cut logs to the seamless installation of pre-drilled cable holes for easy electrical setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ's

Do Mobile Compliant Log Cabins need planning permission?

This is one of the biggest advantages of choosing a Mobile Compliant Log Cabin. Generally, if a cabin meets the legal definitions of a "caravan" under the 1968 Caravan Sites Act (regarding size, mobility, and construction), it may be exempt from traditional planning permission, as it falls under different legislation.

However, we always advise clients to consult their local planning authority or obtain a Lawful Development Certificate (LDC). While the cabin's design is compliant, the local authority needs to confirm the siting and use are lawful for your specific plot. Timber Building Specialists can guide you through this process to ensure a smooth, stress-free build.

What thickness logs are best for residential log cabin homes?

For residential log cabin homes intended for year-round living, a thicker log is always better. We strongly recommend a minimum of 68mm to 70mm logs, and ideally 90mm or more.

Thicker logs, like the 95mm logs used in the 15x6.8m model, provide:

Superior Thermal Mass: They naturally retain heat, reducing your reliance on heating systems.

Enhanced Durability: They offer greater structural integrity and less risk of warping or settling over time.

Better Sound Insulation: They create a much quieter, more peaceful interior environment.

Crucially, the log thickness must be paired with premium insulation (like the 200mm roof and floor insulation in this case study) to truly achieve optimal year-round comfort and energy efficiency.

How energy-efficient is the cabin?

The cabin comes with 200mm insulation for both the roof and floor, ensuring energy efficiency and comfort in all seasons.

What is the lifespan of a luxury log cabin lodge?

A luxury log cabin lodge that is properly specified and maintained can easily last as long as a traditional brick home—50 years or more.

The key factors ensuring this longevity are:

Quality of Timber: Using slow-grown, pressure-treated, and triple groove-graded timbers (like the Norwegian Spruce we use).

Superior Foundation and Roofing: Investing in a robust foundation and long-lasting roofing material like EPDM or metal prevents the two main causes of failure: moisture ingress from below and above.

Regular Maintenance: External timber requires re-staining or re-painting every 3 to 5 years to protect it from UV damage and moisture.

When built by experts and treated correctly, your log cabin lodge is a valuable, long-term asset.

Can the cabin be customised?

Absolutely! We specialise in bespoke solutions, allowing you to tailor the layout, features, and finishes to your specifications.

The installation timeline varies based on customisation, but our streamlined process ensures quick and efficient assembly.
