Living in a house and having a backyard is amazing, especially if you’re one of those people who love being in the open. Hanging out with your friends and bonding with your family is something you can’t put a price on, so doing this as much as possible is simply a must.

However, in order to do that, you have to maximize your outdoor living space and create features that will make your outdoor enjoyment even more special. Log cabins are among the most popular ideas out there and something that can definitely take the look of your backyard to a whole new level.

These structures are visually appealing and inviting, so if you too want to do something amazing in your backyard, here’s how you can choose the right log cabin for your outdoor area.

Declutter and Prepare Your Backyard

First, you need to prepare your garden for a new log cabin. After all, you can’t put one in a cluttered and unorganized backyard that doesn’t provide your new log cabin enough space. That’s why preparing this area and making sure it’s ready for your log cabin should be your top priority.

Decluttering your backyard doesn’t sound like the most adventurous and exciting project in the world, but it can actually become more enjoyable and cool than you’d imagine.

First, you need to decide what you’re going to keep in your backyard and what needs to go. Getting rid of things you don’t really need or use shouldn’t be too hard, and this is a project you can easily complete on your own – or with some help from your friends and family.

Once you’ve decluttered your backyard and made sure it’s tidy, you’re ready for the next step – making it look good. This means mowing the lawn, trimming the hedges, removing the bushes, and all those other projects that might not be your favorites but still need to be done.

Luckily, you can do all of these things yourself, as long as you have adequate gardening power tools such as powerful weed eaters that can help you accomplish a lot in a matter of hours.

Keep in mind that all these projects only seem like a lot of work in the beginning but are quite easy once you get a hang of them, so don’t be afraid to get started ASAP.

Define Your Free Space

As soon as you declutter your garden, you can start thinking about bringing in a new log cabin and how to do that in the best way possible.

You should define your free space and specify the position of your cabin – this is particularly important for people who have large backyards and lots of different options for a log cabin.

But, if you have a tiny backyard, don’t worry – even the tiniest outdoor spaces are still suitable for a log cabin, so you’ll surely be able to fit one there.

The best thing about log cabins is that they provide you with so much interior space without taking too much space in your backyard. This means you can pick a log cabin that’s almost as big as your entire backyard – just leave some room around it, and that’s basically it.

Once you free up as much space in your garden as you can, measure it carefully, and start thinking about how large you want your cabin to be.

Pick the Style

Depending on the size of the empty space in your backyard and your aesthetic preferences, you can choose from a number of different log cabin designs.

Some people use their cabins as an outdoor retreat where they spend time with their friends and family, which means they don’t need a structure that’s massive and expensive.

Just a tiny log cabin that looks quite nice and welcoming will be quite enough for them, as long as it provides the space for entertaining and making the most of their backyard.

Other homeowners, though, want a cabin that can be turned into a second home – even though it’s just a few yards away from their actual home! These cabins come in different sizes, from one-room to three- or four-room cabins – a size that can accommodate an entire family.

You can welcome your guests in here or invite a few friends over and provide them a living space that can’t be matched by your average guest room, so be sure to take this idea into consideration as well.

Build Your Own Log Cabin

Finally, if you decide that log cabins are the right fit for you and your backyard, you can even decide to build one yourself.

This might sound like a lot of work at first, but it actually doesn’t have to be that hard – if you know what you’re doing and have a proper plan, this project should not take too much time, money, or energy.

Building a log cabin for your backyard might turn out to be one of the most enjoyable projects you’ve ever done, but make sure you come up with a very thorough plan before you start.

Alternatively, you can work with professional log cabin builders such as Timber Living or BZB Cabins and create a unique cabin that will suit your needs perfectly.

Professionals know what needs to be done and have much more experience than you, which means they can build you an amazing cabin in no time at all.

Look into their portfolio first and think about a few ideas before you approach them and pitch in your thoughts. That way, you’ll get a personalized log cabin that will suit your outdoor space yet still be sturdy and professionally built, so it’s a win-win scenario for you.

Finding the right log cabin might take a while, but if you’re determined to turn this idea into reality, it can be done quite easily. Just measure your empty space, find the right style, and personalize your log cabin so that it fits your garden perfectly.
