Custom huts

If you have specific plans or requirements to meet council standards—whether for planning permission, building warrants, or short-term letting licences—we can build in line with those specifications to help ensure compliance. We understand what’s involved in these processes, having developed and worked from our own on-site shepherd’s hut at our workshop.

Every hut we build is fully bespoke. Dimensions, layouts, and internal specifications can all be tailored to suit your intended use, whether that’s a simple garden room, office space, or a fully self-contained, rental-ready unit.

Although 3.6m and 4.8m are our standard hut sizes, we also design and build larger XL units up to 6m for customers who require additional space and flexibility.

Yes. We can follow your plans or specific council requirements to support planning permission, building warrants, and short-term letting licences. Every hut is built to your specification, so we can adapt the design to meet compliance where needed.

The base hut price includes the insulated structure, external cladding, roof, windows and door, internal wall finishes and flooring. Additional options such as kitchens, bathrooms, upgraded electrics and other custom features can be added depending on your requirements.

Build times vary depending on the specification and current order demand. In most cases huts take around 6–10 weeks to build once the final specification has been agreed, the deposit has been received, and a build slot has been allocated in our production schedule. Typical build time is 6–10 weeks, depending on the hut specification and current build schedule.

Customers can reserve a future build slot if they require the hut to be ready for a specific date.

Planning permission depends on how the hut will be used and where it is located. Garden huts may not require permission, but huts used for accommodation or commercial purposes often do. Customers should check with their local planning authority.

Huts are delivered fully built using a HIAB lorry (crane-equipped vehicle) and lifted directly into position onto your prepared base. Suitable access, space, and ground conditions are required for delivery.

Delivery costs vary depending on distance and location, but you can get an instant estimate on our Delivery page or the Get a Quote page by entering your postcode.
