Self Build Garden Cabin Kits

Fully insulated / pressure treated kits that are built like a house!

PictureFinished Garden Cabin Kit
It is such a satisfying feeling to build a garden cabin from scratch. I should know, I've built hundreds! I have now re designed some of my favorites as self build kits that even a novice can build.

Our first trial kit ( a Tiny House) got the thumbs up from "Tom Rawstorne, a journalist for The Daily Mail" If he can build one, you can too.

self build kits cost?

PictureInside a completed Garden Cabin
All the cabins are supplied with fully insulated panels that fit together to make your cabin. They are built from pressure treated timbers for longer life, the same sized timbers you would build a roof on a modern house.

The kits come in 3 sizes and 4 styles and have a range of extras and add-on's to make your cabin extra special.

Standard kits come with feather edge roof coverings rather than slate as pictured below.

Hire a Construction* team

If you would rather not take on the task of building the kit your self, you have a couple of options.
  1. Hire a local builder/handyman. We can give him telephone help and advise during the build if needed.
  2. Hire our 3 man team to build it to roof height, leaving you and/or your builder to finish off the finer details.
    As our team is more familiar with the construction of the kits, it may be quicker and save you money in the long run. (subject to availability). We would also need a couple of extra pairs of hands to assist us.

To the right is a kit being assembled to roof height. This was assembled to roof height in one day so you can see how much can be done in a day.  The last photo is the end result after the customer (who had the help of a local handyman) had finished it off. (decorating, fit the door, install window glass, clad the roof and outer walls, lay the flooring or carpet, fit the skirting and trimmings etc. The second from last photo is the point the "Build to roof height" service is complete.
You will also need a local electrician to install power sockets and lights.
