FAQ's
Here at Cabin Space NZ we look forward to working with you to create your affordable cabin. Below are some frequently asked questions to help you, if you need any other info please reach out via our contact page.
? How long will it take to build my cabin
The day the deposit is paid we add you to our build schedule, and we allow around 4-5 weeks from then to the delivery of your cabin. This gives you time to prepare and level the site and us time to build your cabin! Construction lead times can vary depending on how busy we are, but we will keep you informed.
? How much deposit must I pay
We require 50% deposit to place your order into our building schedule. The remaining amount is due the day prior or on the day of delivery.
? What extra's can I add to my cabin
We offer a wide variety of options, including underfloor insulation, additional rust proof coating on the galvanized steel frame, extra double sockets, air conditioning, kitchenette, bathrooms, laminate flooring, carpeting, additional windows, single doors and partition walls - there are multiple ways to customize your cabin. Be sure to let us know at the beginning of the process what you're trying to achieve, so we can offer advice around what's possible. You can also add external features such as deck, entrance step or planter boxes.
? What are your cabins made of
Our cabin range are all built up off a strong welded and galvanized, box section steel frame with the flooring being 18mm marineplex waterproof plywood. The walls are 75mm thick insulated EPS (expanded polystyrene foam insulation) panel which lock together in tongue and groove to brace the entire cabin. The roof is dark grey colour steel to maximize longevity and waterproofing and has 50mm insulation, all of our windows and doors are double glazed to help keep in warmth, with aluminum dark trim frames.
For further construction details please feel free to call Sam on 021 301 381.
? Can you deliver my cabin to a difficult place
If your planning on putting your cabin in a hard to reach spot - no worries. With the right preparation and planning most locations can be sorted. Our first option for hard to reach places is a Hi-Ab which is a small crane that can lift your cabin to it's desired location, or to a location that we can work from, i.e. over a fence or house and then pushed into place from there. However, remember once it's in - it's in. All Hi-Ab, building or electrical work and/or machinery hire will come at an additional cost, but we will take you through it at planning stage.
? What if I don't like the cabin once its built
Once its built and paid for, its yours, so please ensure you choose wisely and love the design before you order. We don't give refunds on cabins that have begun the construction process.
? Can I view a real life cabin
Yes you can. Just call Sam on 021 301 381 and he'll arrange a viewing for you. Our yard is in Hamilton and we also have a viewing cabin in Papamoa, Bay of Plenty.
? What should I do for maintenance
Just like clearing your gutters out on your house or shed or putting chain lube on your bike, to ensure the maximum lifespan of a product maintenance is required every now and then. For our cabins we recommend every 5 years you get yourself some silicon and re-silicon the seams and any location that looks like water might find it's way in. This is just an insurance policy to ensure you never have any leaks or water problems whatsoever. If you live by the coast we also recommend every 5 years re-coating the frame with a rust stopper or sealant that can be found in spray cans from hardware stores.
If you do a bit of maintenance every now and then, not only will you maximize the lifespan of your Cabin but we're sure you'll will be pleasantly surprised how long your cabin will last and how much it can endure.
? Do you rent cabins, do rent to buy or offer finance
We don't rent cabins or offer rent to buy. We do work with MTF finance as an finance option for you, the link is on our contact us page if you'd like to explore their options.
