Prepare you base
You Prepare your space
Create a level landing pad.
The surface under your ühut needs to be level and flat. If it isn't, this has an impact on the the way the floor feels underfoot and can lead to the walls, door or skylight not fitting properly during construction.
Common, good pads include slabs, retained gravel or hardcore and plastic grids. For the longevity of your hut's joists it's much better if the surface underneath drains well.
30cm space around your hut
In order to screw all the cladding on to your hut we need a minimum of 30cm space between the hut sides and any fences or walls, (we can do it with a little bit less if the border is a hedge).
It's also good for any building to have some breathing room to enable the air to remove moisture from the outside of your hut.
Minimum pad sizes:
We craft your bespoke ühut kit
Hand cut to order
All the wood we use in your kit is high quality. The base is fungal and rot-proofed, as is the cladding.
The door and frame are made from certified & sealed exterior plywood and the flooring is 18mm thick (at least as good as the flooring in most modern houses).
All the structural wood inside is planed Canadian Lumber Standard timber giving a smooth finish and the inner walls are finished in a beautiful hardwood vaneered ply.
We deliver & build your ühut
It takes 4/5 hours on site
We charge £75 for delivery within Edinburgh and a reasonable rate based on mileage and travel time for areas outwith the city.
We'll arrive with a van, filled with your ühut kit on the day of the build at a mutually agreed time.
Depending on the weather and the site, it should take us between 4 and 5 hours to build.
