How to Order

Placing 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 Appointment

Our 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 Details

Bearing 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.

Installation

We 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.

Wood Treatments

External wood treatments

For external treatments you can choose from many brands but we have found Sadolin or Sikkens to be excellent products. If you choose Sadolin there are two systems which work well.

“Classic” as a first coat followed by “Extra” as a top coat OR “Supercoat” or "Superdec" for both coats.

If you choose Sikkens the preferred choice is “HLS” first coat and “Filter 7” top coat.

Whatever product you choose it must satisfy three criteria.

It must be a preservative rather than a paint.

It must be a waterproofer (many preservatives do not have waterproofing abilities. This is also true of many varnishes)

It must have at least a small pigment of colour to provide a filter against the sun.

For the internal treatment, assuming you do not expect dampness being created in the cabin and also that you wish to retain the light pine appearance, simply apply a coat of Cuprinol Clear Preservative or similar all purpose preservative.

Fire retardant treatment for wood

For log cabins that require Euro class B Spread of Flame (see our Building Regulations information) we recommend HR-Prof.

HR-Prof is a water based solution that is absorbed into the surface of the wood. It is easy to apply and has non-flammable properties which restrict ignition and spread of flame. It can be fully over-coated with wood treatments as mentioned above.
