Build a timber-framed cabin yourself£3,897Materials at today's merchant prices, inc VAT
Buying ready-made is about £432 cheaper than the materials to build it yourself. Factory-made buildings use lighter framing and thinner boards than a self-build, so building your own makes sense if you want it heavier-duty or a custom size.
The self-build figure uses our standard specification for this type of building, priced from a full materials list: framing, floor, cladding, roof, door and fixings. It excludes tools and your time.
Price a 16 x 10 ft log cabin in the builderThe base you will need
A 16 x 10 ft log cabin needs a firm, level base at least 16 x 10 ft. Most guarantees depend on it. A concrete slab or paving lasts longest. A plastic grid filled with gravel is quicker, drains well and needs no concrete.

Protect the timber
Even pressure-treated buildings last longer with a coat of treatment every couple of years. Do the first coat before it goes up, while you can reach every board edge.

Planning permission and Building Regulations
- Most garden buildings do not need planning permission in England and Wales if they are behind the front of the house and, with any other outbuildings, cover no more than half the garden.
- Within 2 m of a boundary the whole building, base included, must be no taller than 2.5 m. Further away, the limit is 4 m for an apex roof or 3 m for other roofs, and the eaves must stay under 2.5 m. Check the height on the product page before you order.
- At about 17.6 m², a log cabin this size is exempt from Building Regulations only if it stands at least 1 m from every boundary (or is built mainly of non-combustible materials).
- Working from a cabin yourself is incidental use. Sleeping in it, or regular visits from clients or staff, can need planning permission. Electrics need a registered electrician under Part P.
