There is something about log cabins as an image of rustic life, whether it’s on a weekend getaway or as your year-around abode. Thanks to modern technology though, the rustic life doesn’t require weeks of pain-staking labor and clearing of timber for planks. In a nod to the manufactured home style of building, the internet has begun to flourish with do-it-yourself kits and pre-manufactured cabins. In England, one such business is Hortons Portable Buildings, which offers a wide range of timber and wooden buildings including log cabins and houses, portable buildings, children’s playhouses, garages and more. Included on their WikiPage, Hortons-PortableBuildings.co.uk has some pictures of their buildings as well as a demonstration of their “Winterised Twinskin” insulation that allows for their cabins so equipped to be used year round. With delivery available in England and Ireland, their buildings are supplied in kit form with all timbers cut to size and pre-machined for perfect joints and ready to be assembled in hours with little technical knowledge required.
