Although compact in size, our 4 x 3 log cabins offer many of the features and advantages of larger designs. The cabins in this range provide versatile indoor space for gardens large and small. If you’re looking for a cosy home workspace, craft room or a small outdoor space for entertaining, then a cabin of this size fits the bill. It also provides an ideal spot for relaxation with a drink and a good book if you’re just looking to chill.

Do I need planning permission for a log cabin?
You don’t usually need planning permission for garden buildings like log cabins, and our range is designed with ‘permitted development’ rules in mind. However, planning law is subject to various exceptions and stipulations so it makes sense to familiarise yourself with the do’s and don’ts.
Generally, a rule of thumb is that your outside buildings and other additions mustn’t take up more than half of the area around the original house. It’s always best to double check planning advice. You can find out more by reading our guide to planning permission for garden buildings
How to build a log cabin
Building a log cabin is a job for two people – preferably DIY-savvy. The process involves the following steps:
- Preparing the ground with a solid, level base
- Laying bearers and base legs
- Fitting wall logs, windows and door frames
- Installing roof joists
- Adding decking and roof boards
- Laying floorboards
- Hanging doors
- Fitting storm braces
- Laying roof felt and finishing boards.
You can read about the process in more detail in our guide to building a log cabin. But if you’d prefer to leave the work to someone else, you can take advantage of our installation service.
How to insulate a log cabin
Insulating your log cabin can help you maximise its use during the colder months. A range of materials can be used for insulation, including:
- Bubble wrap
- Rockwool
- PIR insulation boards, such as Celotex and Kingspan
- Wool, such as Thermafleece.
You can cover these materials with various types of internal cladding such as:
- Plywood
- Tongue and groove panelling
- Pallet board.
The process follows the same principles of insulating a shed or garden building. However, bear in mind that Waltons also provides insulated garden rooms.
