First thought….. Take away the Britmet Tiles and you get left with a shoddy shed!
Space, space is what you need in a park, also each pod much be a certain distance apart because of fire, and you only put vertical cladding if you know what your doing, this company has no over hang, and puts the facia directly to the outside cladding, which is why you have this problem we pointed out, but as you can see the company that installed manufactured these pods have not done the right thing and gone back, this company is with out doubt cheap and nasty, And I would advice to stay away. This company we sacked, and they still have our designs littered over their website, so we are doing the same, but rather than tell the world these are ours, we are saying, stay away, do not waste your money.
OK… Look at these Pods, I am not going to mention the company that made them, but if you look at them you will notice that the middle ones already have already rot, blue, black stain. “Why are they in this condition, they are new yes? ” yes they are , so why are they in so bad condition, and why are they sitting on the cheapest base ever made, that will fall apart , all these questions you are asking yourself, ( because you are thinking of opening a park) simple, badly manufactured, manufactured by people who actually have no clue in this world what they are doing. Disgusting,,,,,, Over priced Rubbish, we sell pods for £9.000, £25.000, £33.000,£38.000 and even £179.000 and none of them have ever turned out this way, because we tell our customers firstly how to treat them, and secondly what we manufacture is 100% quality, unlike this mess.
When you are looking for a quality camping pod, do not look for ones with roofs made of timber, it means your fucking stupid! If timber was a good product to put on roofs all the houses would have it? Some people want to earn money so they purchase some land with an amazing view then they put in that view shit pods that look like old army barracks of world war 1, and why, because they had enough to purchase both land and a quality pod, but decided to buy the land and fill it with rubbish. and spend the rest on a holiday, I know you are all thinking I am being cruel, I am not, and this is why so many local authorities ask to see the plans of the Pods and which manufacturer if making them, and yes we are known in this industry as one of the top manufacturers.
Next getting back to this crap laid out on these awful cheap bases,If you look at the boxes on the same wall, these are for electric, and that black, and blue stain means that its a wet area, and then you throw electric into the mix. Not a very safe environment for children, staff, public, anyone for that matter.
Now here is a old , old photo of one of our first Pods, as this was where the standard was started for side entrance pods, and you will notice that rather than companies copy us and make it better, the total opposite has happened,,, its a shame..
Camping Pod 2.4m x 6.0 m first ever manufaturered
this was the first ever 2.4m x 6m Pod made, quality second to none, looks strong and handsome, clean and tidy. Why, because we made it. We manufacture houses, pods are our side line, which is why our customers always end up having us manufacture everything. If you want the best come to us.
Most companies never show the insides of their cabins, and there is a really good reason for this, they look even worse inside as they do out, yeah, once again I jump on the other companies and call them all crap etc, but sadly being the Granddad of this industry, and seemingly being the only one who actually wants to change things, make cabins better and better, not worse, always upping the quality and keeping prices the same, selling direct, through our LTD UK companyand pushing the customer to pay with a credit card , for their own protection, is quite a move forward, I am seriously happy with what we have accomplished over this last year, we got rid of the middle man, we don’t need them, they always said the shed companies that we needed them, customers will not buy direct, they are worried, what a load of bollocks, customers love saving 1000’s and getting more and a better cabin, plus excellent customer service. Most shed, companies are just rip off merchants. They resell our hard work, earn more than us, and scream for low prices. They are the scum of this industry completely!
We have our own building teams in the UK that are cheaper than shed companies and better, we have direct line of sales to you, and best part is, we know what your going to get, when its leaving and when it will get there.
Next we use Russian Scotts Pine, Our timber looks Russian, and trust me when I say the grain is as tight as your wallet! North London Humour!
Check Out the quality of this building inside, its built by the best, us, hand picked timber, all cut on a new CNC Multisize Log Cabin Line.
Our Doors and windows as you can see have new for 2021-2022 multi locking system plus each door has 3 German hinges and as you can see quality here is 101%.
Why do people in general come to us, simple, they have money to spend, want the best, understand that we know whats good and bad, want to buy from a Brit, that started this whole industry, want to buy from someone that will tell them the truth, more importantly you are going to feel safe with your choice, forget Resellers, they are here today and sadly your money and them gone tomorrow, we are the choice, you do not ask someone to go to the bank for you, you go yourself, so if you want to spend 1000’s then give it to the girls and guys that are here today, and will not be gone tomorrow.. We can give you hundreds of references, we are also on our banks blog as being one of the best manufacturers to sell to the public by credit card last year, but most people who buy from us, have read my blog, and these people know that I hate liars, and con men, I just want to give you the best of the best as quickly as possible and I am told I do this well! And everyone I work with always come back, especially in the Holiday, Chalet, Pod, Lodge industry.
So many things to think of and here is a list for you to think over.
Firstly you are not looking for a cheap crap mass produced log cabin. You’re not, your bank account thinks you should and your telling yourself that a 34mm and a 70mm is the same it’s not, but you don’t, as wasting money is wasting money, so stay away from Resellers 34mm log cabins and crap they are no better than an up market shed, quickly manufactured windows and doors, they fall apart almost immediately.
Our Windows and doors are not just a amazing they are the best, we have spent no expense on producing them, and making sure everyone in the industry is way way behind us in quality level.
Lots and Lots of companies have already tried to already copy our door design , hinges, quality handles and lots, but copying them is one thing, but getting the quality means you must pay for it, and we have.paid for ours heavily, our doors are not allowed to be put into the cabin until they are completely and utterly stained and waterproofed, they they can be fitted, the reason for this is that they are manufactured from joinery timber, and their moisture content is very low and they will expand and not fit if they are not treated until exposed to the weather.
This is not a cheap cabin, no no means but it will stand its ground for more than 20 years…. FACT!
You are not looking for a concrete foundation that will crack and be damp. You are not looking for a company that shows you a pretty picture and delivers you a mess. missing bits, broken parts etc, and the sales man , woman , tells you they are the best of the best and you be as snug as a bug all year round, and the walls are 44mm single skin. You are not looking for a company who cuts its timber from Baltic Spruce or Pine, its quick grown and rubbish, Imedeska and a few other manufacturers, sell baltic pine, they basically bid in the local market for local logs, cut it, dry it, in old uncertified kilns, and then sell it on with mass profit, it splits, it looks nice a white, sandy coloured, but honestly the timber is crap.and it will rot in 7 years with or with out stain, rot protection, the timber is too new to hold any kind of self oil, and then you will remember back to reading this blog and remember when i said buying cheap is foolish.
After designing this beautiful amazing building so many years ago, I so Love it when a member of the Public, Ian, calls me up and tells me he wants to buy one direct, and then he spends a small fortune to make my design look the best it could ever look.
We started our company here in Lithuania some 20 years ago, then when the UK decided it was to leave the EU so did we, and now we trade direct as a UK LTD company to the same audience but giving our customers something unique, and that is this, we have the largest collection of our own designed log cabins and timber buildings, and now we can sell them to you direct from our Factory, and you can pay us by credit card, and unlike everyone else, your getting your building direct from source, no greedy middle fingers, no one going bust on you or running away, as far as i am concerned you would be mad going anywhere else, unless your looking for cheap rubbish, then yes, we are not the company to speak to, and again from us manufacturing your log cabin in record time, and your getting a building that is freshly manufactured, its not from a pile of old mass produced cabins manufactured in 2019, our prices are great, your not purchasing your log cabin from a reseller who goes bust and runs off when he spends profit first and then can’t afford to pay us for his cabin bill, this happens far too often, and please check out our windows and doors.
Day and Night our Clock Houses looks amazing, thank you Ian for the photos, this Clock House is in Windsor, and fits amazingly beside a beautiful house, as this is the top of the line, Log Cabin. Factory Cabins is known for quality, please check out our windows and doors.
Ian your house does our design justice, or is it the other way around, not sure, but side by side, Perfect………..
Hi everyone, this whole virus routine is back again, I HEAR YOU ALL SCREAMING YOUR THOUGHTS AT ME, AND TO ALL, Yeah I KNOW, but the only help I can offer is a place of silence, warmth, and zero drama, amazing value and working from home is amazing actually, depends or for some not so, rolling out of bed, getting dressed in something super comfy, forget the rushing for trains, or driving in traffic, loud noises, smelly uncomfortable tube rides, and the real focusing on your work blown by getting into a bad mood before your even behind your desk to work, I hated the rain and getting wet, getting to work finding my spot gone to park and then running in the rain to the lobby and then remembering the security card to get into the office I had left in the car, and many of us have been through this, and then wanting, needing a garden office, you need space for and wanting it now, then you go on line and you see prices from 3000 pounds for a shed thats only fit for a lawn mower, to 80.000 pounds thats honestly worth 20.000 pounds, you need honesty, you need a office that honestly will be exactly what you need and no messing. around.
Always pay with a credit card.
So what do you do? OK, you firstly call 100’s of companies selling cabins, and they all say the same crap, cabins last over 10 years, 44mm is perfect, or go to a 90mm glulam as its perfect, but costs a lot more, then you ask how long they say 20 to 25 weeks, and then payment, which is always the sore subject, the red ball that bounces round the room and he says, oh! its X and please pay to this account, and and and.
OK! Let’s rewind, firstly we have lots and lots of different cabins, which are built from timber frame or machined log, and I would guarantee not one of them really honestly suits your needs, which is why nearly 99.9% of our cabins are altered in some way or other. most companies cut Twinskin log cabin cavities at 57mm because thats the CNC optimal cutting in which the log will not super vibrate and snap off. I know this because i was the first person to design, manufacture and sell a Twin Skin, and ours cavities are wider, and not just because of structural reasons, A twin skin 5.7m x 5.7m in 70mm with 100mm gap, is what i would always say the perfect garden office.
Most sales guys in this industry have no idea on this subject, when you buy from us you are travelling on a quick conveyer belt to an easy solution to get your cabin, because dealing direct means sensible pricing, and a quick turn around, we can make everything happen, and quickly.
Dark Cloud subject….The year before last we got rid of so many of our resellers, dealers, because we found that most not all stole from customers, either in over pricing or literally stealing, and we at LV and FC believe in our Brand which is the best in log cabins industry, we have been working hard to keep standards high and to make the market a better safer place and better looking windows and doors, better made and last longer, our standard windows and doors now are just over the top with quality, and i am so proud that we designed them, and brought them to the table, we never sit down, sorry to get back to the topic, also their skills at selling was awful they forgot what was important, most are overwhelmed at the amount of business there is, and what they should and must tell the customer, and we train them, spending hours on each Reseller, and allowing them. to use our content to show the customer what they are getting, but we have decided to stop with resellers after 2023, we have a few resellers left, but they are true craftsman and know their, our product.
So we were discussing pricing,…
Let’s talk about pricing. We would push you to Pay Us with a Credit Card, why you are asking…well because you are safe, we want you to understand that no matter who you pay, and who you buy a cabin from make sure when buying a log cabin in the UK, or Europe, Credit Card. deposit, credit card, last payment, credit card, if the company asks you to pay direct into the bank, avoid them. if they do not have the ability to accept cards, it does not mean. they are a bad company but it does mean your protection is gone..
We tell our resellers that we are very happy when they get their customers to pay by card, we feel its a must, not all agree with us, and we can not force them.
Today we have a problem, timber prices, gas prices, fuel prices could and do rise in an instant, and if a company, reseller sells you a cabin, and does not order it from us till the end of the month or following and has not asked us for a price, and this kind practice, it done by many Log Cabin companies, sadly its common in the UK, and they do this with their overseas suppliers and mainly it’s because of money transfers etc, and something you to remember is we supply these people with our products only , we do not pay them a salary, they are not linked to us in any other way that they buy our products and resell them. And when they come to order your cabin from us which you paid them for the prices could have risen and if they are not aware of this or have not put this into their pricing structure, then this is where the problems start. They are our customer, you are not. So what we think is right and wrong, legally we have nothing to say to them. Which is why we sell direct, and we have amazing reviews, and we always make sure our customers gets their products. We do not offer anything but the shell, if you want a full turn Key, we can sell you a shell, and then try and help you with local tradesman in your area to do the rest, we would sell you the cabin, and the trades guys you would pay direct, you get a full turn key , office, granny flat , spare room or garage. what ever, but it would be the best. And thats why we say to people buy direct, as we know our prices from month to month, we keep to our pricing, and we never let people down, if they shut the boarders, or close roads, or governments ban trucking, or there is a massive covid outbreak, then sadly we can not do any thing about this, none of us can, but we try our best.
Always pay with a credit card.
What we have found is that the public do not ask many questions, and they pay and they wait, and thats that, we are very different, as we want the experience to be very interactive with us so our customer feels able to say exactly what they want and how they feel.
But always, always, please pay them with a credit card. It keeps you safe always.
