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.
You have to check out this company’s 3d link of the inside of their pods, my god, seriously, talk about rubbish timber, i took a few screen shots of the dead knots on the inside , the inside, imagine, who does quality control, who actually cares about the quality they are selling you.
You should be disgusted at yourself keith for building such rubbish pods, the inside T and G is fucking shameful. And you want people to pay for your crap (((((great value starting at prices from £9,950 + VAT & delivery with optional bunks and double bed.))))) great value you taking some medication.
Talk about cheap nasty pine, with black knots, awful…. absolutely disgraceful. Black knots means they are ready to fall out…….. and this is cheap nasty, pine, the cheapest you could buy.
Some Photos of random pods inside, ours…
Clean, beautiful timber, the LV way! Hardly any knots at all, why because we have first pick of the timber, not last, (((Keith))Is that not a beautiful clean canvas!! No knots.Powerful structural beams! And before anyone asks, about our beams, don’t, we are the masters of bending glulam beams, we can actually make a beam curved at 48 m long!
OK, we all search for a company that we truly believe understands their product and knows what their doing, we want to believe that the guy we are speaking to has the ( Minerals) the midas touch, and he knows more than you about his products and i can help you etc. But when a company is selling and advertising using another manufacturer products to sell his lesser quality wares, it makes you wonder if you can truly trust the seller, it brings to mind, look at this Rolex in the box, and not the one i got from China in my pocket. And sadly Mr Keith from Arch Leisure is doing that, he is using my quality camping pods, and then he sadly gives you crap instead , and i challenge him any day to bring one of his awfully built pods to our Factory, and let’s see how much weight the roof can hold, what’s it like in sub zero conditions and what awful sub quality timber is he using, because i do not see anywhere on his website, FSC Chain of custody, or for that matter anything resembling C24 timber.
We parted company with this company last year,and what he is displaying on google is not what he now manufacturers but we had manufactured for him in the past, and there is a reason for this, what he is now selling is ( well what i have just said means there is a problem if you have to show off someone else’s product and not your own…..) Would you trust this guy? His company? Does he run away from problems, is he there when your pods are delivered? Does he actually understand the concept of Podding, and the ethos behind it, or is he just a salesman trying to earn money from any product, and then gone.
If you’re looking for a camping pod, and want to buy direct, not from some guy who never leaves his house other than to go on holiday in Dubai , and trust me Ryan Air does not fly there for £230 return!
Very soon on FactoryCabins.co.uk we will be offering camping pods at ex work prices we are now getting rid of our pod dealers as we did our cabin sellers, and we will be putting up Factory Pricing.
If you really want the best of the best, then stop looking in the UK for Pods, you do not have forests, you do not have quality pods, you never will have, we have the best of the best timber, we also have huge glulam beam lines that can manufacture subframes for the pods that no one in the UK can, plus, we offer better pricing and quality.
“Buy British” I am all for that, but without Russian timber, your housing market would come to a halt. And I mean it would stop. Sadly the UK public are fed crap by the media, and trust me when i say we do as much bad when it comes to spying and killing people as the Russian, Americans etc.
We are not saints in any way, we are lied to so many times a day by our government, it makes me laugh, go home, don’t go home, stay in dooors, go to the pub, wear masks, don’t wear masks, and please tell me, Toilet paper? What the F—–k is all that about, I am English and i just laugh, i think my race has turned into sheep………. We allow every soft stupid , daft dick tell us what to do, we have schools open when they should be shut, and all the money should be spent on finding a cure, that’s it. And now we have a recession which is coming this recession is like a huge fucking dark, powerful wave that will rip through ever family and company around the world, the price of gold is nearly 2000 an ounce, it could go as high as 3000 or 4000 as some predict, and holidays at home will become the largest market in the UK, yet in Jan 1 you leave the EU and tariffs on your timber will completely ( kill your home grown industry of manufacturing) thats happening already as most shed companies and timber companies have shortages, and this will get more common, as why should we supply you with products that you turn into a product that then your businesses sell for 5 times its actual value.
I do not like greedy people, and now your pants are down, and you can not manufacturer a product if you do not have the material to manufacture it.
You should have been planting years ago, yet you tarmaced everything and built high rise buildings, destroyed your green belt and just messed up the country completely, and because you were under the thumb of Germany for so many years you lost yourself in immigrants and laws. Now 1st January 2021 England becomes England, and a lot that went around will go around. But you still don’t have timber. NONE!
Which is why all the best Camping Pods come from us. that’s fact.
And one last fact, we manufacture Schools, Houses, Large Log Cabins , Camping Pods etc, we also have our own glulam production line , we have so many CNC machines it would take a day to list each one, and our buildings are 10/10, we are also not going to go bust. In 2008 so many unlucky, poor people were ( f—–ed) over by backstreet middle men and the large companies, ( none can be trusted, your laws allow them to steal and there is no come back) that actually just bought and sold on, who took deposits, and did not give them to their supplier but kept them, and i am talking about 5 of your biggest log cabin companies in the UK to date, that did this, and ended up owing us huge amounts of money, and customers and banks, and they went bust with a smile and a ” we will be back in a few months once we have restructured, that means gone on holiday with their customers deposits , had a great time and then came back when the threatening emails stopped and the people had stopped throwing bricks through their office windows , and with in a week they had a new managing director, the deposits were gone, customers lost their money and the company carried on as nothing had happened because the websites were allowed to be used by the new managing director, and we over here, now understand and learned from 2008 that the UK is the most corrupt country in Europe for business, in Russia you can and will go to jail, same as Lithuania and Latvia and Estonia, Finland, Sweden if you knowingly just took deposits to keep them, but the UK, lol, never, , and we will not put up with it. so goodbye dealerships. If your government will not protect you, then we will. this is my industry i started off the Likes of Dunster House, Skinners, and so many companies that now sell huge volumes of cabins, and who will will not sell to anymore.
The UK is now sadly now the poor man of Europe, and no one trusts him, your printing money with out anything to back it up thanks to Gordon Brown.
Between 1999 and 2002 the Treasury sold 401 tonnes of gold – out of its 715-tonne holding – at an average price of $275 an ounce, generating about $3.5bn during the period.
Gold now is trading at nearly £2000 an ounce, the man was is as stupid as the day he was born.
There are so many reasons not to purchase from a UK company at the moment, and the word you are looking at is uncertainty. We were here from the beginning, we have the timber, we don’t have depts, we can survive whatever the markets throw at us because we have what you all need, timber. So we are actually the only ones to trust.
Log cabins LV thanks you for reading this blog so does Factory Cabins.

Camping Pods, they are all the rage now, “AGAIN” so many people are looking for them, and so many people are buying “Podbins”, yes “Podbins” and I coined the phrase” remember Kevin Langham coined the phrase PodBins” I also coined the phrase Clock House Log Cabins, Twinskin Log Cabins and now “Podbins”, and as the popularity of garden offices and Pods for camping in the UK resurges again camping pod sadly the build quality because of demand is becoming criminal and that’s where PODBIN came from…. You heard it first here on LV…
I have added a few images, or what I like to say is my designs from the heart, at what can be achieved with in a small space, yet giving everyone a fantastic feeling (warmth love and home) because when you’re at home your safe, when you are in my Pods, your home, just with a twist. But the love of my design, and the warmth of the build quality, envelops you in the spirit of a great stay and Holiday!
Also my camping pod designs, that have been copied,
and sadly some look or are in the PODBIN department, one company comes to mind,
yep! Old man Keith from Arch Leisure is a prime example of that Podbin
production, evolution, sadly Keith the owner has been selling toilets and showers,
also low end caravans for so many years, he believes his copies of my pods, and
a few other peoples designs, but done in
his way, the dreaded awful disgusting caravan way, in other words he
manufacturers them like a caravan, they may look like a pod, but in reality
they are just a curved version of a very cheap and cheerful ugly awful caravan,
as its in his blood, just shows where
him and other like him are headed, extinction! , as are many others. The British
public do not want a Caravan type environment any more, it’s time to wake up
and treat our public with respect, we are not in Joe Butlins time, it’s gone, I
know your reaching 70 soon Keith and you think you know what people want, you
don’t, that’s why your prime business is toilet and showers. And even they are
awful. Sorry, but they remind me of going to football as a child the smell and
the doors hanging off and showers not working properly, and everything slippery
and dirty. I hope the awful looking Podbins you have built, last and do not
leak and that whoever has bought them understands you know nothing about
nothing in construction and you have sold them a PODBIN.
Very soon, I will start a Blog and I and a structural engineer will rip the heart out of 999.9% of pods manufactures, and advice you the customer what is and is not safe to purchase. Safety firstly comes in structure, and that means a professional timber craftsman, I do not mean a chippy, I mean a guy who understands the force that mother nature can and does frequently attack small and large buildings. You must not forget we manufacture houses on a daily basis to high spec of TEK 17 which is the Norwegian build regulations, and we build over 250 houses a year this means we understand what is and is not good when it comes to manufacturing, as we are considered the best of the best
Mother nature attacks what ever it is, a pod a house a barn, and domestic building, or non domestic building the same, principles stay the same, and we must take into effect the wind loads, weights and pressures and the pressure inside and outside, how to tape a timber frame so the Sat rating is in the 0.2 mark, not like in the UK where its 10 ( Air sealing) and how to keep a pod from being blown over or allowing the wind to cave in the roof, and all these small details goes into our pods, because we put our pods in extreme places, which means our camping pods are at the top end of the market, and not to be mistaken for the PODBIN’s out there and
Lastly the windows and doors must be certified against Fire, and theft, also have the CE stamp attached. And make sure they have not used the window or door frame as a key part of the strength of structure, this would mean the glass can blow out, under high pressure, many back street companies do this and not realise what they are doing, standing in front of a large window and it explodes, well, you can imagine what the insurance company would do with you, and police, plus the health a safety, so be smart. Always. Think LV, as we have done all the thinking for you.
Tan House, Tan Office, the cost is about 9000 pounds ex works , but is 100% amazing, made this about 8 years ago, yes we are ahead of everyone always. Siberian larch , fully kitted out!
…………………….The best is LV………………..
If any one asks me to make this,,,,,,, NO…………Never again,,,,, awful desgin, manufacturing it was a nightmare and alot of amazing Russian Northern Pine C24 graded timber was cut to make this.
Above shows you that our camping pods are built for strength in so many ways. But also they are the only pods built by senior house manufacturers who understand everything about everything. We lead the way, the others attempt to copy. ,,,,,,,,,BEWARE OF THE PODBINS!
Please look how thick the roof is above, this timber frame beautiful A++ building can with stand anything mother nature will ever throw at her!
Yes I know you love it, and so does the owner he bought quite a few! it’s not about fighting to win a camping pod order that counts for us, it’s about making sure that we treat everyone as family, and as family we want you to get the best, and the best, comes from us, our thoughts are not driven by our wallet but by the love of our designs workmanship and longevity, beauty of what we manufacture to blend in and compliment the surroundings. And to offer people a new kind of feeling, and new warmth and a new love in there lives!
We don’t just build amazing pods, we also dabble at amazing small houses! oh! and Big…..

OK lets start dissecting this pod sold by Archleisure and really look at what its manufactured from.Actually it does not say much, just blar this and Blar that, and of course they use TLX silver, which LV were the first to offer, and still do, actually we now offer, Gold, and silver, depending on the customers wishes and needs. But lets study this photo, and by the way if you happen to go to https://www.archleisure.co.uk/camping-pods-for-sale.html the marjority of the pods he is showing on his website are LV’s , he just went to a cheaper , shed manufacturer to copy our designs after 8 years of doing business, so he could make them cheaper and as you can see, not as well built. If you look at the timber along the side of this pod ( picture below) you will notice one thing very quickly, there are no stress grooves cut into the back of any of the timber, which means eventually it will twist, and that’s bad. Actually its suicide for that particular building. Next i do not see any grading marks of C24 anywhere on any of his production photos, and actually i do not see him say his windows and Trada certified, or that his timber is FSC, or what size glulams he uses. And as there is only one decent glulam mill in the UK, i have a feeling his are not made with certified glulam.
If you want to purchase a quality Camping Pod, and Archleisure this is not the company to purchase from!
I added a page view, just so my old friend Keith could not actually deny that he was selling our designs and decided to rip them off and make a cheap copy of them, but its easy as a customer to find out if this is true just by going to ,waybackwhen, and there all websites copies are held.
Anyway getting back to this pod copying company, which is rather funny actually, as he was so upset when someone stole his arch design, and how everyone was a crook, but when you have very greedy mouths to feed decent Common sense and Chivalry go out the window and greed takes it place.
And the public are fooled into thinking they are buying a quality pod, when in fact they are not, they are buying a copy of a quality Pod! logcabinslv is the best pod maker in the UK and europe thats a fact. everything else on the market is a copy and mostly is crap! If its not manufactured by skilled carpenters, then what your purchasing is not going to last. And no one in the UK can ever get our Northern Siberian Larch Cladding, EVER!!! No matter what they say, they can’t. I have been in the timber business 28 years, and the UK never gets our quality of timber.
So Keith, Mr Archleisure man, who’s website is made up of 90% of my products and you sell inferior to the customers under the guise that they are LV, now the public know.
We do not sell our pods or any items to www.archleisure.co.uk. If you want a pod, and want a company that will actually travel to site, check on how things are coming along, from the first to last day, and will service your pods and help you, and not just earn money by sitting at a desk and expecting everyone else to do the tidying up, then please give us a call or send an email.
logcabinslv.co.uk, the company behind the best pods in the industry, we designed them, the rest just copy!
A pod should be manufactured like this…. I am forgetting……….
PEOPLE WHO COPY DON’T CARE ABOUT QUALITY, JUST YOUR CASH!
If timber was so amazing for roofing…………… why then are there no houses with wooden roofs? Easy answer, timber is not waterproof, cracks and splits after a very short time, needs to be treated regularly and this is Cedar Clad, which has a lower amount of tanis than larch,and i still would not use larch ever as a roofing material, its solely for claddings. It’s a pity the people who come up with these ideas actually understood timber…..
Thank you for reading…. Do not make a mistake a buy a copy! Buy a good solid camping pod from the guys that started this revolution, the freedom for campsites, don’t feed the guys who only think about cash….. And trust me, they never come when there’s a problem and blame you for everything when it goes badly wrong.

Buying a Log Cabin with a Credit/Debit Card
Log cabins have long been cherished for their rustic charm, offering a retreat into nature and a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. As the popularity of these cosy getaways continues to rise, so does the ease of purchasing one. One convenient option that has gained traction is buying a log cabin with a credit or debit card. In this article, we’ll explore the advantages, considerations, and steps involved in this process, ensuring a smooth and secure transaction for your dream retreat.
Advantages of Purchasing a Log Cabin with Credit/Debit Card
Flexibility in Payment Options
One of the primary benefits of using a credit or debit card to purchase a log cabin is the flexibility it offers in payment options. Unlike traditional bank transfers or cash transactions, which may require immediate payment in full, using a card allows for the convenience of spreading payments over time, depending on the card’s terms and conditions.
Accumulation of Rewards and Points
Many credit and debit cards offer rewards programs or cashback incentives for purchases. By using your card to buy a log cabin, you can accumulate points or cashback rewards, which can be redeemed for future purchases or other benefits, enhancing the value of your investment.
Protection Against Fraud and Disputes
Credit and debit cards typically come with built-in protections against fraud and disputes. In the unlikely event of unauthorized charges or discrepancies with your purchase, you can easily dispute the transaction with your card issuer, providing an added layer of security and peace of mind.
Factors to Consider Before Making a Purchase
Before swiping your card for that dream log cabin, there are several factors to consider ensuring a smooth transaction and avoid any unexpected surprises.
Understanding Your Financial Standing
It’s essential to assess your financial situation and determine whether purchasing a log cabin with a credit or debit card aligns with your budget and long-term financial goals. Consider factors such as interest rates, payment deadlines, and any potential impact on your credit score.
Checking the Terms and Conditions of the Card
Each credit or debit card comes with its own set of terms and conditions regarding purchases, interest rates, and fees. Before making a significant investment like buying a log cabin, carefully review the terms and conditions of your card to understand any applicable fees or restrictions.
Confirming the Cabin Provider’s Payment Policies
Before proceeding with your purchase, it’s crucial to confirm the log cabin provider’s payment policies regarding credit or debit card transactions. Some providers may have specific requirements or restrictions, so be sure to communicate directly with the provider to avoid any misunderstandings or delays.
Step-by-Step Guide to Buying a Log Cabin with a Credit/Debit Card
Researching Log Cabin Options
Begin by researching various log cabin options to find the perfect fit for your needs and preferences. Consider factors such as size, location, amenities, and budget to narrow down your choices.
Contacting the Cabin Provider for Payment Details
Once you’ve identified a log cabin that meets your criteria, reach out to the cabin provider to inquire about their payment process for credit or debit card transactions. Provide any necessary information and clarify any questions or concerns you may have before proceeding.
Making the Purchase Securely
Once you’ve confirmed the payment details with the cabin provider, proceed with making the purchase securely using your credit or debit card. Ensure that you’re using a secure payment gateway and double-check all transaction details before finalizing the purchase.
Tips for a Smooth Transaction
Keeping Track of Expenses
To avoid overspending or exceeding your budget, it’s essential to keep track of all expenses related to purchasing your log cabin. Monitor your card statements regularly and be mindful of any additional fees or charges that may arise.
Being Cautious with Personal Information
When making a purchase online or over the phone, always exercise caution when providing personal and financial information. Ensure that you’re communicating with a reputable and secure vendor to protect yourself against potential fraud or identity theft.
Understanding Refund and Cancellation Policies
Before finalizing your purchase, familiarize yourself with the log cabin provider’s refund and cancellation policies in case of any unforeseen circumstances. Knowing your rights and options in advance can help alleviate stress and uncertainty down the road.
Ensuring Security and Protection
Utilizing Secure Payment Gateways
