Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about our kitset cabins? We’ve answered some of the most common ones to help you get the details you need, fast.
What tools do I need to assemble a kitset cabin?
Basic hand and power tools—like a drill, hammer, level, and ladder—are required to assemble a kitset cabin. Every part is pre-cut to fit the design, so there’s no measuring or cutting needed on site. Some building knowledge or DIY experience is recommended, and clear, step-by-step instructions are included to guide you through the build.
Can kitset cabins be moved after they’re built?
Yes, our kitset cabins can be moved after assembly. Once built, they stay fully portable and can be relocated using a hiab or trailer. Whether you’ve set it up as a studio, added a loft, or just needed a bit more space, you’re not locked into one site. At Alpine Cabins, we design our kits so you have the freedom to move the cabin if your plans or location change.
What’s the difference between a kitset cabin and a pre-built cabin?
A kitset cabin comes flat-packed with pre-cut parts, ready for you to build on site using basic tools. It’s a practical choice if you want to manage the setup yourself and save on delivery and labour. A pre-built cabin is fully assembled at our yard and delivered by hiab, ready to use the day it arrives. At Alpine Cabins, both options come with modern features like double glazed windows and double glazed doors, giving you a warm, comfortable space that suits your setup and budget.
Can I add power and water to a kitset cabin?
Yes, you can add power and water to a kitset cabin. Once the cabin is assembled, a qualified electrician and plumber can fit it out just like any small building. If you’re connecting to mains services or planning to use the cabin as a sleepout or living space, it’s important to check with your local council about any consent or approval needed. At Alpine Cabins, our kitsets are built to suit this type of setup if it’s part of your plan.
How long does it take to assemble a kitset cabin?
Most kitsets can be assembled in one to three days, depending on the size and how many people are helping. Smaller cabins often go up in a day, while larger ones may take a bit longer. Having a second person makes the job much easier. At Alpine Cabins, we include clear, step-by-step instructions to keep the build straightforward.
