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.

The case against twin skin log cabins
The term ‘Twin Skin’ log cabin refers to a design of log cabin wall that is made up of two logs with a gap between them to fill with insulation. The pairs of logs interlock at 90 degrees with other pairs of logs at traditional corner joints.
From an engineering view point, we would not entertain such a poor design, as it defies the critical rules in log cabin technology to design with respect to the natural timber movements that are well known to occur in log cabins.
The philosophy of a log cabin is that by design it allows the logs to individually swell and contract and in doing so there will be a significant accumulative growth or shrinkage in the overall height of the cabin. Features such as doors and windows are designed to accommodate such movements and dimensional changes.
It follows therefore, that when you build a cavity wall cabin it is important to keep the outer wall and inner wall totally independent of each other. This allows the outer wall to grow in height due to moist atmosphere and the inner wall may reduce in height due to dry heated atmosphere. The result is two opposing changes in dimension of the two walls.
If the two walls are rigidly fixed together, as in the ‘Twin Skin’ design, and such changes take place, then the result is almost certainly a curved wall, or if the wall does have areas that remain straight then gaps will appear in the inner wall.
It is also possible that in different conditions, that the outer wall may be drying out and shrinking greater than the inner wall. In such circumstances the gaps would then form in the outer wall and if so would allow any subsequent moisture to enter the insulation cavity but unknown to the owner because it is degrading out of sight behind the inner wall.
If you would like your log cabin walls to be insulated, we recommend our Keops extremely efficient wall insulation system. This properly designed cavity wall insulation system also incorporates a damp proof membrane, a vapour control barrier and an air gap.
