Move your garden cabin
If you want to move your garden cabin (or any other type of garden building), Hortons can do this for you. We have specialist lifting and moving equipment built for specifically those tasks. There is usually no need to totally dismantle a cabin or garden office (and cause damage in the process which will cause additional costs to the time and labour to dismantle it and the re-build it) - we can just move it for you.
This video shows part of the whole project that we are undertaking -
This was part of a larger project to renovate the cabin which included -
-
Remove the old rotten floor
-
Lift the garden cabin up by about 300mm
-
Fit very heavy duty caster wheels (solid rubber tyres to avoid damaging the patio surface
-
Move the log cabin cabin to it's new location
-
Set the cabin down on stilts
-
Replace any rotten bottom logs
-
Build a new floor on a damp proof membrane under the raised cabin
-
Set the cabin back down onto the new floor
-
Raise the roof of the cabin in order to insert 3 more courses of logs to increase the height by about 400mm
-
Finally set the cabin back down and paint
This is a relatively easy garden cabin move and therefore didn't require any heavy duty moving equipment that we have available (powered wheels, motorised lifters, tracked machinery) which we can use to move further distances and also for larger log cabins and other garden buildings within a garden. If you are moving house then Hortons Log Cabins can also carefully take your garden building down, transport it to the new location and rebuild it (repairing anything that needs to be repaired in the process).
