ASSEMBLY
How to Assemble Your Flat Pack Cabin
Simple. Quick. No Specialist Skills Required.
​
Assembling your flat pack cabin or container is easier than you think. Most units can be assembled by 2–4 people using basic tools — no cranes or technical experience needed.
​
Follow the 6 key steps below, illustrated with clear visual instructions:
Step 1: Position the Floor
Start by placing the base panel on your prepared, level surface. This forms the foundation of your cabin.
Step 2: Fix the Corner Columns
Attach the four vertical corner pillars securely into place.
​
Step 3: Install the Wall Panels, Door & Window
Slide in the wall panels, including door and window sections, between the columns. The panels lock into place for stability.
​
Step 4: Fit the Ceiling Frame Beams
Position and fasten the ceiling support beams. These secure the upper structure and prepare the unit for roof panel installation.​
​
Step 5: Install the Roof Panels
Lay in the roof panels on top of the beam frame.
​
Step 6: Position & Fix the Roof Frame
Lift the outer roof skin into place and secure it with bolts to complete the structure

Base Requirements
While our cabins do not require a permanent foundation, preparing your ground correctly is essential for safe installation and long-term performance.
Key Ground Preparation Tips:
-
Avoid swampy or waterlogged areas
-
Choose level ground — avoid steep slopes
-
Ensure the surface is rigid (e.g., concrete, tarmac, compacted stone, or soil with support blocks)
A level surface ensures proper panel alignment and avoids issues like door or window misalignment after assembly.
Although there is not a special base requirement for the units, the ground should be flat and rigid. You have to pay attention to a few things, and you should prepare the ground before the delivery of your unit. Detailed guide can be found below;​
