The rush of everyday life and the business of the cities keep us increasingly farther from the natural world. While many people don’t seem to mind, others start to question their lifestyles and whether or not they are spending their days in the best way possible. Living in a log cabin pod permanently might seem odd for a lot of people, but many others begin to see it not only as a possibility to save money, but also as a way of living that is closer to nature and can bring a stronger sense of fulfillment.
If you have been considering moving to a log cabin pod permanently, but are still worried about some practicalities, hopefully this article can address some of them. First, let’s clear one of the main doubts of the way: yes, you can live permanently in a log cabin, provided you have all the necessary amenities – insulation, internet, electricity, water and lightning. In fact, you can live comfortably, all year round, in a log cabin. Quick Garden is the perfect partner to help you find the cabin of your dreams, and you can start browsing now:

Then, comes planning permission. Putting a log cabin in your garden does not require planning permission, as long as it does not take up more than 50% of the outside space and does not exceed height and roof limits that are stated in this article. If you want to build or install a log cabin in a remote area, you have to consider its location to avoid flooding or other incidents and, then, yes, planning permission is required. You need to submit plans to your planning office and do a detailed survey of the area.
Wood is a great material for houses of all sizes, as its high thermal mass and low conductivity help absorb and release heat slowly, thus providing great insulation and keeping the inside temperatures more stable. This means it will be easier to keep the house warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. You should know, however, that wood houses require more maintenance – although not that much – than conventional houses. Log cabins need to be washed down at least once a year to keep the materials in good conditions.
