Pros and Cons of Building Your Own Log Shed

Though constructing log shed or garden cabin of your choice by your own can be an interesting activity but there are also a number of drawbacks of having built your log shed by yourself. The major problem is that it is a very hectic exercise and needs a lot of time to be invested along with some good amount of your income. But if you can get the log shed of best quality constructed even after all facing all these hard jobs, it is fine. But mostly it does not happen. Because it is almost impossible to get commercial finishes in your own built log sheds.

Sometimes you collect designs and detailed plans of log shed kits from catalogues of some reputed manufacturers and want to copy them or sometimes after visiting some log sheds or garden cabins in the vicinity you suppose to combine features of some of good looking log sheds and try to get a customized log shed by your own. But you fail to have built a good looking durable and secure log shed. It is because customization needs sufficient knowledge and skills. That is why you cannot construct a quality log shed.

The assembled log sheds and garden cabin available in the market are manufactured in the big factories where heavy machinery is installed to get high quality finished products.  Also they use best quality teak wood which has been treated for weather resistance and checked for consistent quality. When building your own log shed these measures cannot be ensured which result in some bad quality log shed and you feel disappointed. Because it is quite expensive to provide all those facilities which are available in a good reputed manufacturing unit.

Besides above, building your own log shed will also take a couple of your weekends. It can be afforded if you are ready to sacrifice a couple of your weekends. But normally people like some busy professionals cannot spare much time for this activity. Alternatively they prefer buying assembled shed kits to save their time and prefer to enjoy their weekends with their friends and families.
