Log Cabin

Is there anyone who can produce a log cabin suitable for permanent domestic occupation in the UK.Our buildings have to conform with certain Building Regulations, principally to avoid the effects of driving horizontal rain and damp,relatively warm winters.

Yes,

John Ormiston near Oban in Scotland can and has built several log cabins.

There was an article in "Reforesting Scotland" a number of years ago featuring his work and I shall try and find this to see if there are any contact details.

For finding log builders worldwide I can recommend the International Log Builders Association (used to be the CLBA). Their website is www.logassociation.org
Based in British Columbia, Canada, but they have members throughout the world.

Best of luck
