How does the log cabin get delivered?
Delivery is normally made by a six-wheeler truck with a ‘Piggy-Back’ forklift on board to unload the cabin however certain hauliers used in the delivery of log cabins do not have this facility so it may be delivered on a 7.5 tonne vehicle. (If in doubt, please contact us on 0818 905 888 to discuss). When the cabins are delivered they are packed in a weatherproof wrapping and can stand outside quite satisfactorily for a reasonable time. (The exception to this would be if the cabin is delivered on a smaller vehicle and has to be off-loaded manually and therefore un-packed).
