Construction and Erection:

We do not undertake any construction or erection of the buildings the company supplies.
Nor will the company, under any circumstances, be held responsible for any faults or complaints regarding the erection or construction of any building/s by the manufacturer or a third party, any default/s relating to the construction must be referred to the Construction company concerned. Or in the event of a manufacturing fault we will contact the manufacturing company concerned on your behalf.

All foundation or base work is the responsibility of the customer, as is the safe securing of the building once erected.

A level solid base, either paving slabs, for the smaller buildings, or concrete, upon which to install your building is best.
Pressure treated floor bearers laid on top of your prepared base are an important and valuable option for garden buildings with timber floors, as they allow the circulation of air underneath the floor and help to keep it dry and sound.
When planning your buildings position, allow for as much room as possible for the installers to work.
Always make allowances for any roof overhang when buildings have to go into confined spaces.

Delivery:

For the smaller garden buildings the delivery driver will need a clear access to your property with no height restrictions or  tight sharp corners to negotiate.

Under Health and Safety rules they cannot lift sections over fences or buildings such as garages. If  the only access is through the house, a straight run is required, as many sections will not pass through standard doorways. Please advise us in advance if there are any difficulties regarding access.

For larger buildings such as Log Cabins, these can only be delivered as near as the lorry can park, it is the responsibility of the customer or their erection team to transport the building to where it is required from the nearest point of delivery.

Delivery and Erection of Concrete Garages:

Concrete garages are erected by the manufacture.
The delivered and erected price stated for Concrete buildings is on the assumption that the erection site is no more than 30 meters from the parked lorry, any further distance is chargeable on negotiation with the garage company.

Timber treatment:

ALL of our timber garden buildings are treated with a good quality base timber preservative on the inside as well as the outside prior to leaving the factory. We recommend that you re-treat your buildings at regular intervals to maintain the appearance and life span of your building.

Log Cabins are delivered untreated and should be treated with a good quality micro porous preservative such as ‘OSMO’ timber preservative and natural wood finishes.

Cedar buildings are cedar clad only i.e. they have deal framing, floors, roofs and verandas.

Timber Sizes:

All timber sizes stated for garden buildings are sawn sizes i.e. before machining, please note that finished sizes can vary by plus or minus 1mm.
Log thickness given for Log Cabins are as near as possible the correct thickness.
All building dimensions stated are approximate, and usually based on the external wall sizes. Some manufacturers of log cabins measure the size from the ends of the logs others from the interior walls, if in doubt please phone 01945 410 361

Timber Location:

To the best of our knowledge, all the timber used in the construction of the buildings we offer originates from sustainable forests. To the best of our knowledge the timber used in the manufacture of our range of log cabins originates from Northern Finland. The climate conditions in Finland ensure that the trees enjoy balanced slow growth producing solid and fibrous timber, being most suitable for log cabin production.
