FAQs

We know buying a cabin is a big decision — and we’re here to make it easy. Below you'll find answers to the most common questions we get asked. If you can’t find what you're looking for, don’t worry — just get in touch and we’ll be happy to help.

Do you have any showrooms I can visit?

We don’t currently have physical showrooms — and that’s a deliberate choice.
By not being tied to one location, we can serve customers across the entire UK while keeping our prices competitive. Instead of spending on costly display sites, we focus on what really matters: delivering high-quality, great-looking cabins for the best possible price.
So, while you won’t find us on the high street, you’ll find your budget goes further.

What is a flat pack log cabin?

A flat pack cabin is a high-quality wooden structure delivered as a kit — ready for you to build.


Think of it like adult LEGO, but with more satisfaction at the end. Every piece is precision-cut and labelled, and our easy-to-follow instructions make assembly simple for most DIYers or local tradespeople.
Flat pack gives you flexibility, convenience, and cost savings — all delivered to your door.

How do I look after my log cabin?

Your log cabin is built to last — and with a little TLC, it’ll keep looking its best for years.
We’ve created a simple Cabin Aftercare Guide that covers everything from treatment tips to seasonal checks.


Regular maintenance helps preserve the timber and ensures your warranty stays valid. You’ll receive this guide with your order, or you can download it here.

Do I need to insulate my log cabin?

That depends on how you’re using your cabin. For occasional use in summer, many customers are happy without insulation.
But if you plan to use your cabin year-round — for work, guests, or hobbies — insulation is a smart investment.


We offer models with insulated floors, walls, and roofs, or you can add insulation yourself.
Check out the handy diagram below:

Do I need planning permission for my cabin?

In most cases, no — our cabins are designed to fall within permitted development rules.
As a general rule, you’re fine if:

  • The cabin is under 2.5m in height (for flat roofs) or 4m (for apex roofs)
  • It’s not being used as a permanent residence
  • It sits behind your house and doesn’t cover more than 50% of your garden

However, rules can vary slightly by council. We always recommend checking with your local authority or visiting the Planning Portal for peace of mind.

How warm are log cabins in winter?

Timber is a natural insulator, and our log cabins are built using high-grade slow grown Scandinavian timber that retains heat well.


Add insulation and a small heater, and you’ll be surprised how cosy your cabin becomes — even in the colder months.


For all-season comfort, choose one of our insulated models or speak to us about how to upgrade yours.

Do you deliver across the UK?

Yes — we deliver nationwide and free of charge.

Delivery is kerbside using our trusted partner. This means the cabin will be brought to the nearest accessible point next to your property (e.g. driveway or roadside).

Please let us know in advance if there are tight lanes, steep gradients, or limited turning space so we can plan accordingly.

Our cabins arrive securely wrapped and palletised, and will be professionally offloaded by our experienced delivery team.

What are Clever Built Cabins made from?

All our cabins are crafted from high-grade Scandinavian spruce — a timber grown in the coldest regions of Northern Europe, where trees grow slowly and steadily.

This slower growth results in dense, fibrous wood that’s naturally strong, stable, and resistant to cracking or warping — exactly what you want in a long-lasting log cabin.

Scandinavian spruce is a favourite for premium log buildings because it:

  • Has a fine grain and tight growth rings for structural strength
  • Offers natural insulation and weather resistance
  • Comes from FSC-certified, sustainably managed forests — so you can build your dream cabin without harming the planet

In short: it’s the ideal material for a robust, great-looking cabin that stands the test of time — and the British weather.

What can I use my cabin for?

The better question might be — what can’t you use it for?

Customers have turned their cabins into:

  • Home offices or studios
  • Garden bars and entertainment rooms
  • Hobby workshops
  • Guest bedrooms
  • Kids' dens
  • Gyms and yoga spaces
  • Therapy rooms
  • Airbnb pods (where planning allows)

Your imagination sets the limits.

Can I customise my cabin?

Absolutely. Whether it’s extra windows, a double door, higher walls, or a custom layout — we’ve got options.

You can submit a request through our Custom Cabin Builder here, or drop us a message with your ideas.
