A BBQ cabin is a wooden hut (similar to a summerhouse; also referred to as a grill cabin) is manufactured so you can safely host, relax, and entertain with family barbecues and outdoor cooking parties all year round, no matter the weather.
Even though BBQ cabins are used for a wide variety of functions and purposes, they are not insulated which means they are not designed for accommodation purposes like summerhouses and log cabins, for example.
What Is Their Main Function?
The sole purpose of a BBQ cabin is to spend quality time with friends and family whilst cooking delicious meals outdoors.
They are the perfect addition to any garden as they provide shelter from the sun and rain, meaning you can enjoy being outside without having to worry about the weather.
A cosy alternative to a traditional gazebo, BBQ cabins are also becoming increasingly popular as they provide a more comfortable and private setting for any social gatherings that more of us are choosing to host at home.
What Are They Made From?
The majority of BBQ cabins are made from high-quality, slow-grown Nordic timber. This type of wood is ideal for outdoor use as it is strong, durable, and weather-resistant.
It is also a popular choice of material as it has a natural light colouring that blends in well with most gardens.
Arctic Cabins use slow-grown Scandinavian Redwood Spruce which is sustainably sourced. Being slow-grown the timber is compact which ensures it avoids twisting and warping over time. It also reduces ‘shakes’ in the timber which is when the timber can split.
What Do They Encompass?
Most BBQ cabins come with a central BBQ grill and chimney, meaning they are ready to use as soon as they are assembled.
As well as this, many BBQ cabins come with a range of optional extras that can be added on to personalise your cabin and make it unique to you and your needs.
Escape Mundane Life
Whoever purchases a BBQ cabin is making a statement; they're saying that they demand something a little different from the norm, that they don't just want an average garden with a few flowerbeds - no, they want to escape the mundane and have an oasis in their backyard.
With a BBQ cabin, you can forget about your 9-5 job, your deadlines, and your never-ending to-do list. This thing has been designed for relaxation, a quiet sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
It's a place where you can forget your troubles, relax with a beer or prosecco in hand, and sizzle some bangers on the BBQ.
Now, that's what we call L.I.V.I.N.G!
A Unique Feature In Your Garden
If you’re at home, you want to enjoy it. If it's a nice sunny day, there's no better way to do that than by being outside in your garden.
But what happens if/when the weather takes a turn for the worse? Well, that's where a BBQ cabin comes in handy.
It provides shelter from the rain and sun, meaning you can still enjoy your garden, and have BBQs and outdoor parties, come rain or shine.
Not only does this make it a fantastic spot for entertaining, but it also provides a unique feature in your garden that is sure to impress your friends and family.
It's also something that the whole family can use and enjoy - your kids can use it as a play den, pets can relax in it, and you can use it as a BBQ cabin: Win-win-win!
A Takeaway Food Alternative
On a Friday night, instead of ordering the same old thing from your takeaway of choice, why not try something new and cook your own meal in your BBQ cabin?
It's a great way to try out new recipes and impress your friends with your culinary skills.
Plus, it's a lot more fun than being cooped up in the kitchen all night!
With any luck, it will bring the family together for a night of good food and good company which doesn’t happen often enough, in our opinion…
Uniqueness Adds Value
The next time you're on a property hunt, see if you can point out anything unique about the houses you're viewing.
Chances are, there won't be anything that really stands out, but if you find a house with a BBQ cabin in the garden, then you know you've found something special.
Not only does it make the property more enjoyable to live in, but it also adds value. So, if you ever decide to sell up, you can be sure that you'll get your money's worth.
What It Isn't!
It's not a glorified shed, it's not a summer house, and it's certainly not a garden shed!
A BBQ cabin is its own unique thing that has been designed for one purpose – to provide the ultimate outdoor dining experience.
