Before i start, i just want to make sure everyone understands, i have attached a link which is a .gov, with guidelines: https://www.legalservicesconsumerpanel.org.uk/publications/research_and_reports/documents/ConsumerPanel_ComparisonWebsites_FinalReport.pdf
OK that out the way….. Like for like, well this is a problem, because none of the cabins are even like ours, none, they are all lesser quality or higher priced , some by £500 and others by £6000 and more. they are all the same sizes, but the quality, well, that’s for you to determine.
OK,,,, Lets start off in a way that i think is fair, because I know this blog is going to upset the whole industry, completely, as most of them have egos higher than the empire state building, and they earn a lot of money and of course will not want to lose their lifestyle. Like speed boats, 5 Holidays a year, sports cars, and millions of pound in proffit.
The industry in Total (UK), sheds and Cabins has a net worth of 7.7 Billion, and in that market we have holiday log cabins ( most are 80mm glulam crap) worthless after 15 years, why? simple they are not built to any form of building regulation, and other forms of buildings, its a lucrative business to be in, and to think I started it personally.
So I have been doing this many years and in this time i have seen the market grow and grow, and prices rise and rise, and the quality in some companies get better and better, and in others, the quality is disgusting, and some have the most amazingly bad reviews, that they pay £1000’s and £1000’s to their full time web guys to get rid of bad reviews by just adding more and more false ones on top. also….. the pricing, its utter madness, absolute greed, and because of that, i have decided alone, because i know that I am the only Manufacturer/Designer, to drop prices and offer the public the ability to buy direct and cut out the middle man.
We saw this cabins….. now check out what they offer, for the price. and they say they will erect it. We asked an independent qualified Fitter how much to assemble this in 44mm, he said without covering the roof about £800.. this cabin is 5.9m x 3.0m… I love the word from??? From what? Our twinskin ex works is nearly half the cost of this single skin!
