The New Year is the perfect time to turn your dream of owning a timber home into reality. With our delivery times averaging 8–10 weeks, ordering in January means your cabin will be ready right in time for the beautiful Irish Spring.

Step-by-Step Planning

  • Choose Your Model: Do you need a compact garden office or a spacious 3-bedroom family lodge? Browse our catalog to find the perfect fit.
  • Site Preparation: Ensure your plot is level and accessible. We can guide you on foundation requirements (usually concrete pads or a solid base).
  • Check Local Regulations: Remember, garden structures up to 30 m² (the limit since 27 July 2026) often don't need planning permission if not used for sleeping, while homes generally do — the new 32–45 m² auxiliary-dwelling exemption is the exception. Start this process early!

Prepare for spring installation

Order now and use the winter months to finalise your layout, select finishes, and gather site documents. This gives you the smoothest start to construction in March or April.

Make 2026 the year you upgrade your lifestyle with sustainable, comfortable, and affordable timber living.
