Timber Cabins & Garden Rooms in Mayo
Insulated Nordic timber cabins from €14,500 incl. VAT, with delivery, professional assembly and a 10-year structural warranty.
Mayo combines Atlantic exposure with some of the softest ground in the country, and on the western edge — Achill, Belmullet, the Mullet peninsula — it does both at once. These are among the most demanding sites we build on, and the specification conversation is correspondingly longer. Inland around Castlebar, Claremorris and Ballina the conditions are far more ordinary.
The county has a strong tradition of building on family land, including by people returning from abroad, and a tourism economy around Westport, Achill and Knock that supports letting units. Transport is included at this distance and the crew travels with the materials.

Delivery, access and ground conditions
Castlebar is about 250 km from our Dublin yard, roughly three hours by road, with the western peninsulas adding to that. Transport is included in the price.
The western coast and the peninsulas are fully Atlantic-exposed. Orientation, fixings and the placement of large glazing all change there, and that is settled before you order.
Blanket bog covers large parts of the county. Peat needs a proper foundation design — this is the single most important thing to resolve on a Mayo site.
Salt and wind-driven rain together give the shortest recoating cycle outside Donegal and Kerry. Generous overhangs and working gutters do more than any coating.
Access to island and peninsula sites can be genuinely tight. We check the route in advance and transfer to a smaller vehicle for the last stretch where needed.
What people in Mayo build
Holiday cabins and letting units
Westport, Achill and the Wild Atlantic Way coast support a long season. Insulation and ventilation are what let a cabin earn in shoulder season rather than only in July.
Homes on family land
A long-standing pattern here, including for people returning from abroad. Larger models need planning permission and we supply drawings and specifications for the application.
Auxiliary dwellings and granny flats
A detached 32–45 m² dwelling to the rear of the main house, connected to its services, can be exempt since July 2026 with 14 days' notice to the council.
Models we recommend in Mayo
Every price includes delivery to your Mayo site, assembly by our own crew and a 10-year structural warranty.
Planning permission in Mayo
The planning exemptions are national, not local. Since 27 July 2026 a back-garden structure such as a home office, studio, gym or store can be exempt from planning permission up to 30 m² (previously 25 m²), and a detached auxiliary dwelling of 32–45m² to the rear of the main house, connected to its services, can be exempt with 14 days’ notice to the council.
What does change locally is everything around the size limit: zoning, scenic and conservation designations, protected structures and the conditions on siting and remaining open space. That makes your local authority the only reliable answer for your specific site:

The exemptions are national rather than county-specific.

How long does installation take in Mayo?
Typical lead time is 8–10 weeks from order to handover. The on-site assembly itself is measured in days, not months, and is carried out by our own crew.
