Log Cabin Specifications

All timber is from sustainable resources, where they have properly managed forests that ensure, more trees are planted than cut down. All logs are slow grown for and specially selected for strength and durability.

Summer houses

Summerhouses are constructed in two different log thicknesses, either 28mm or for larger buildings 44mm.

All garden houses in the Prima and Fifth Avenue series consist of a unique 3=1 system, where the moulded wall timbers slide perfectly into the corresponding corner posts. The corner posts are reinforced with an invisible aluminium strip, a system that improves the durability of the garden room under all weather conditions.




All summer houses and garden rooms have the options of five different shingle colours as standard optional thatched roofs (selected models only), Chrome or brass door and window handles. Summer houses have the option of a weather cock/witch weather vane or a chrome/brass ball.

Log cabins

Creative Leisure offer a wide range of log cabin models. The standard wall thickness of 28 mm and 44mm can also be delivered in 68 mm. We are also able to be very flexible in customizing specific clients wishes.

The outside corners of all our log cabins are built with the mill wing cross connection. This connection guarantees all our log cabins to be wind and light tight. It is possible to replace the standard doors and windows and to add a wooden floor, veranda or canopy. All Creative Leisure log cabins are delivered with pressure- impregnated foundation beams, glass and chrome metalwork.

Log Homes

All logs are shaped and rebated to a specific design for the type and size of log (see log view above) to create the best possible draught and water proof joints, allowing for natural settlement. All corners have vertical tie rods, with access maintained for future adjustments. Natural settlement is allowed for within the design process.
