Many log cabins have smaller windows and fewer openings for air to circulate. This can trap hot air inside and make it harder to cool down. Additionally, the cabin may feel even hotter if it's in an area with high humidity, as the moisture in the air can make it harder for sweat to evaporate and cool the body.

Concrete offers a strong, level, and durable base that will provide a secure, protective, and permanent foundation for your summer house. Concrete is a type of 'artificial rock' manmade by combining aggregates such as sand, gravel and crushed stones with cement and water.

Timber logs naturally hold heat, which can be an advantage to log cabin owners because they stand to spend less on heating and cooling their dwelling spaces. However, under very cold conditions, it is necessary to undertake a few additional strategies to keep your log home even more comfortable.

Commonly, summer houses and luxury garden rooms will have more glass windows than the average, run-on-the-mill shed, as well as more opening areas. Many summer house designs allow the front wall to open up entirely, or may even have a small porch or balcony area at the front for sitting, dining and relaxing.
