Delivery Information:
1) This is sold as a Pick-Up to allow us to quote each customer’s delivery charges individually. We can quote delivery to your closest depot. Alternatively if you need delivery to your door a hiab truck will be required and will incur an additional cost on top of the 'to depot' delivery fee. If your driveway isn’t suitable for such a vehicle then this product may not be right for you without a carefully pre-planned work-around.
All of this can be quoted via our support team. Alternatively, you are welcome to collect this from our Auckland Headquarters, or make your own arrangements for collection.
2) You MUST be ready to receive your cabin when it lands in NZ as your storage costs at our 3rd party warehousing facility may be significant.

HINTS:
- The construction pad must be absolutely level. It should be slightly smaller than the substructure.
- You must allow for air to circulate around the base, so there must be some elevation.
- You may want to treat the underside of the floor-boards and all foundation wood.
- You may want to buy some extra strapping for security.
- You may wish to put insulation under the floorboards.
