Location Considerations for Optimal Cabin Placement
Your cabin can be placed beside or behind your home, often meaning a spot nestled in the backyard where it feels like a natural extension of your outdoor space. Many people choose a quiet corner, with a minimum 900mm offset from the boundary. Access is rarely an issue - each piece of the prefabricated cabin kit is carried by hand, allowing us to weave through narrow side gates and along charming garden paths. If excavation is needed, we bring in a compact excavator with adjustable tracks to fit through tight spaces, so there's minimal disruption. Some prefer the cabin near the house for easy access, while others choose a more private corner further back for a quiet escape.
Cabin Orientation for Maximising Comfort and Utility
Think about orienting your cabin to capture the beauty of the Blue Mountains or to take in your favourite view of the garden. A cabin with a view can help you take a break from your day, look up, and let your mind wander. You may also want to consider how much natural light you’d like inside - some people love a bright, sun-filled space, while others prefer a shaded, cosy retreat. With one or two windows and various placement options, you can create the perfect lighting and atmosphere. Although the front wall is reserved for the large stacker door, there are three placement options for the door to balance sunlight and access.
Some choose to orient the cabin toward the house, creating a sense of connection and flow, while others prefer to position it side-on to embrace the garden. With thoughtful placement, the cabin can also add privacy for you and your neighbours, acting as a natural screen and fostering a sense of calm.
For some, the cabin is a place to unwind, surrounded by the sounds of the garden; for others, it’s a dedicated retreat from the bustle of daily life. No matter where you place it, your cabin becomes a part of the landscape, drawing you outside to enjoy the serenity of your surroundings.
