FAQs
How long does it take for my cabin to be build?
A 6 to 8 week lead time from signing the contract and paying the deposit is to be expected but this may vary due to your custom requirements.
Can I pick my own colours?
Yes, the cabin is fully customisable. We can send you the options via email, or you are welcome to visit our yard in Hornby to look through the carpet, cladding and roofing options.
When do I pay for the cabin?
A 40% deposit is paid upon placing the order. The remaining 60% is due to be paid before the finished cabin leaves our yard.
