What is the difference between a shed and a cabin?

Sheds are typically assembled in factories and transported out fully constructed; however this prevents them from fitting into arches or gates that have bars at their tops. Log cabins don't face these issues since they're built locally and aren't preassembled like sheds usually are.

Log Cabin Benefits:

Log cabins are fundamentally different than traditional homes because they use individual logs to construct the walls. The thickness of each log determines how thick the entire wall will be, which could vary between 28mm and 120mm. This means that internal space is protected from the elements by far thicker timbers with benefits like better insulation and stronger structure. Log cabins make ideal garden rooms and home offices. A log cabin may be a better option for you if your desired shed is to fit through entry ways with bars across the top. This type of structure can get around height restrictions, such as those that affect where it will be located on its site. Sheds are typically assembled in factories and transported out fully constructed; however this prevents them from fitting into arches or gates that have bars at their tops. Log cabins don't face these issues since they're built locally and aren't preassembled like sheds usually are. One setback might involve having to manage height restriction which could present an issue depending how tall the proposed location would need to go up when considering different areas surrounding grounds where one wants his/her building erected.
