How to OrderPlacing your order
A deposit of 20% is required at the time of order. You will receive an order confirmation, deposit invoice, plus a "What Happens Next" letter, a timetable of events, insulation fitting instructions (if applicable) & preservative treatment information.
An invoice for the balance of payment will be sent to you approximately 2 weeks prior to your cabin delivery.
Viewing by AppointmentOur normal opening hours are Monday to Friday, 9.00am to 5.00pm. We are able to make arrangements outside of the above mentioned hours and at weekends, however, in ALL cases, visits are by appointment only so that we can allocate a member of staff to be present to devote adequate time to our visiting customers.
Delivery DetailsBearing in mind that most of our cabins are being made fresh especially for you to your design requirements, we need a sensible time frame in which to process the order, design, schedule production, source correct high grades of raw materials, manufacture, package and transport.
This is reliably achieved in 6 weeks on average.
more on delivery time
All of our delivery lorries are equipped with Moffat Mounty / Kooi fork lift trucks on board.
These are incredibly versatile machines, that allow the driver to offload the cabin packs from the side of the lorry, travel a short distance and place the pack as close to your build site as is possible.

InstallationWe do offer an efficient installation service nationwide, although the majority of our customers take enjoyment from self assembly and we are available 24/7 to provide expert advice over the telephone should the need arise.
Installation details
Just to say our cabin arrived and was put up last Friday and we are so thrilled with it and it looks really fab!

Fixing the felt roofing shingles
Our felt roofing shingles are easy to fit and can be used on log cabins roofs with a slope of 12 degrees or more.
The tools you will need are a hammer and a sharp knife for trimming. The shingles are fixed to the roof boards (or insulation boards if you have chosen the roof insulation option) with clout nails. 3 shingles make up each 1 metre shingle strip.

Step by step instructions
Starting at the bottom edge of the roof
Prepare a starter strip to go along the eaves by cutting the flaps/shingles off the strip.
This should leave you with a rectangle which should overhang the eaves edge by approximately 35mm.
Secure them all along the edge using clout nails and cut off any excess at the end with a sharp knife.
First row
Starting at one end, take a full shingle strip and place it over the starter strip making sure you stagger the joints.
Secure with clout nails in the positions shown in the diagram.
Do not over hit the nails. The head of the nail should be flush with the tile.
Carry on along in a line with full shingle strips, butting up the joints. Cut away any excess at the end with a knife.
Subsequent rows
Line up a full shingle strip using the guidelines. Make sure your lines are straight and a correct tiling pattern is achieved.
Secure firmly using clout nails as you go. Again trim any excess. Carry on to the top of of the roof with the last course as near to the ridge as possible.
Ridge tiles
Cut each strip into 3 individual tiles as shown.
Bend the shingle over the ridge and nail down firmly.
Make sure the tiles are facing the correct way for the prevailing wind. Take the next shingle and overlap it on top of the first on. Continue along the entire ridge.
Congratulate yourself on a super job!
