Cabin deliveries to back gardens or into garages are not usually possible. In fact most cabin companies will only deliver to the kerbside. However, we now have equipment that enables us to transport your log cabin pack/s into your garage. Or even around your house and into your garden. This does require a flat, reasonably level and hard pathway that is wide enough. Now there is no need to employ workmen to do this, or spend hours carrying the parts yourself. We can do this at a fraction of the cost and in much less time.
How do we do this?
We have specialist equipment. We don’t use large cranes which would need to be enormous to lift over your house and into your garden. This could require permits to close roads etc. All we need is a side access path which is solid, relatively flat and reasonably level. We cannot “drive” over unmade surfaces such as grass or dirt. We also need an area large enough at the rear of your house to leave the pack/s.
Advantages of our garden deliveries
If the access to your house is only via a pathway, it is possible for us to transport your cabin pack/s along this pathway to your house. This is much better for you than delivering to a spot a long way away. As this requires you (or your paid contractors) to move it/them immediately from the public highway (requiring permits etc). This can be a problem if the delivery is late in the day as there may not be enough time left to do this.
You now have a choice to not leave the cabin packs on the roadside, your driveway or the front of your house which is a security risk as they will be fully visible to prying eyes.
The cabin packs are undisturbed when we deliver them. So they are still tightly banded in their weatherproof wrapping rather than having to open the packs, transport the individual pieces, stack them again as best you can and then finally sheeting over. All this hoping you have dry weather and your sheeting doesn’t get blown off overnight.
Requirements for our cabin delivery service to back gardens or into garages
Garage delivery –
- there needs to be a hard surface leading up to your garage from the parking position of the delivering vehicle
- reasonably flat
- no major slopes (less than 5 degrees)
- the area in the garage needs to be 300mm longer and 750mm wider than the largest cabin pack. We can advise you of these but it is usually the length of the roof purlins as these will include any roof canopy lengths as well
Garden delivery – there needs to be –
- a hard surface leading to your garden from the parking position of the delivering vehicle
- reasonably flat
- no major slopes (less than 5 degrees)
- no steps
- no ramps
- no tight corners (due to the length and width of the cabin packs)
We will not drive over manholes or drainage gullies given the weights involved. There also needs to be a hard, level and flat area large enough to set the pack/s down as well. We cannot transport across grass or dirt as the solid wheels will sink.
Standard packs are about 1.2m wide (depending on the type of building). So the access width would need to be at least 1.5m wide. This allows for the wheels outside of the packs.
Charges for cabin deliveries to back gardens or garages
There are 2 parts to the pricing for this service –
- Initial set up fee – £60 inc. VAT (covers 1 “trip”) plus £30.00 inc. VAT per extra “trip”
- “Travelling” fee – £1.00 inc. VAT per metre travelled per “trip”. We will double stack if possible. So the number of “trips” doesn’t always equal the number of packs. It may be less (we will advise you how many “trips” this will be). We therefore require an accurate measurement of this distance.
Visual checks for the garden / garage deliveries
We will require you to send some photos and also a walk-through video of the route. Plus the thinnest dimension of the access route. You can send them via our WhatsApp as the files will probably be too big to send by email.
Alternatively we can carry out a site survey to assess the feasibility of this service. The charge for this is £50.00 plus £1.00 per mile from RH13 6NX (there and back) inc. VAT. This service will also measure the “travelling” distance required using a surveyors wheel. This means that we are able to give you a fixed price for the work.
If a site survey has been refused and a mis-measurement has been sent to us or we are unable to get the packs to where you require, we will get them as close as we can, but no refunds are given.
If the travelling distance has been advised incorrectly, then there will be additional charges if further, or refunded if substantially shorter.
