If you are unsure what type of attachment would be suitable for your garden, please call us. Simply Log Cabins is here seven days a week from 8:00 am to 8:30 pm, with experts on hand to discuss your needs. With many years of experience, we facilitate the delivery and construction process, so you can enjoy your new space.
Simply Log Cabins began shipping in 2003 and is now one of the UK's largest direct importers and distributors of wooden garden buildings. Over the years, we have accumulated a great deal of experience and knowledge in the industry, factories and individual buildings that we are always happy to discuss with customers and people who are thinking about becoming customers.
Note: The following are for larger buildings, larger vacation homes (Norland, Gudrum - all brands, Palmako and Tiaga). If you have any questions about delivery or any other aspect of purchasing our other lines (Lugarde, Bertsch, Jagram, Forest, Rowlinson, Shire, Mercia, Woodland), just ask.
The following points are our answers to some of the most frequently asked questions we are asked:
Delivery of log cabins and larger summer houses: Delivery times are indicated on each product page. In general, this is the minimum lead time - if you think your building might arrive before you are ready to receive it, just let us know when ordering. We have great warehouse facilities and can usually hold your cabin until you are ready for delivery. In addition, many, but not all, cabins on our standard lines are stocked and available for quick delivery. Cabins that are not stored in the warehouse come directly from their respective factories. Once a building is in our warehouse, with our group of carriers we can offer delivery to the Mainland UK (Excludes Northern Ireland and all islands except Isle of Skye) within 7 days from our warehouse then when you are ready to receive your build, please let us know and then we will arrange delivery. We cannot always arrange delivery on the day of your choice, but we can deliver on the day we are in your area. If you want to know what day we deliver in your area - just ask us and resend your zip code. We will notify you immediately. Delivery is usually a big concern for customers, however our drivers are positive, very helpful and delivery goes almost invariably without incident.
What to expect when a construction kit arrives: Buildings are, of course, delivered in kit form and will require assembly. Kits are on large pallets and are unloaded from the delivery truck with a rear forklift (Escludes sheds and smaller summer houses). We must always inform you that delivery is made on the “sidewalk side”, ie, at the closest accessible point to your delivery address, the shipment will be delivered on the sidewalk side. If you have any questions about access, please contact us. However, the reality is that most customers require delivery to the property, usually to the garage. Our drivers will generally comply with this requirement (if you DO NOT want them on your property, please let us know when ordering) assuming it is physically possible to do so, but please note: any delivery to your property is at your own risk.
Base Preparation: This is one of the most significant factors in the life of any wood construction. Our log cabins are designed to have a VERY long service life, therefore the base on which they are placed must have a long service life. There are many types of suitable base, however, the key is that the base must be flat, level, smooth and prepared in such a way that it retains these qualities for a long period and DOES NOT accommodate or a corner accommodates so that the base become up to. It is generally advisable to oversize the base so that the weight of the building, which is supported by the walls, is not on the edge of the base itself. Commonly used base types include: concrete, concrete paving stones, wood deck base type, quick base - plastic grid (must be completely filled with gravel for the gravel to hold the weight).
