To comply with New Zealand regulations your cabin must have a certified NZ Engineers Design Certificate. We use an Auckland based certified engineer who will provide this certification for your cabin. The extra cost of this will be between $1500 and $3000 depending on how many changes you require in your design.
The construction will be solid tongue and groove interlocking timber for strength and durability. Made of cold climate grown pine it has a close grain and pleasant yellow tones.
The front doors and windows will be positioned to maximise natural light and fresh air. Being double glazed (from toughened glass) they offer excellent insulation and acoustic properties, keeping the interior warm and quiet, and the sturdy aluminium joinery ensures no more painting wooden frames and a tight seal. The natural wood interior is warm and inviting.
All Lifestyle cabins come as flat pack kitsets. They can be assembled DIY or by a handyman or builder.
Once assembled cabins should be painted or stained. Detailed instructions are included with your cabin.
*Please note: As with any additional building it is important to check with the relevant authorities for the requirements in your area.
