Follow A Zinc Studio Cabin Build: Part 4 - Delivery

With an impressive 3.5m in width, the Zinc Studio Cabin allows for up to 50% more living space when compared to similarly priced tiny homes and prefab cabins on the market. Liveability, accessibility, and inviting openness of our cabins was a core design principle – because tiny homes shouldn’t feel tiny! With the generous dimensions in mind, we partner with experienced logistics providers with 30+ years of tiny home and cabin delivery experience to ensure safe delivery.

Delivery Day - From Truck to Tow Trailer

 

Delivered on the back of a flat-bed truck, it’s always quite a magical experience seeing the Zinc Studio Cabin arriving – especially on a clear and sunny morning such as this.

Upon arrival, the delivery truck and team will take the cabin as close as possible to the prepared installation site, and then carefully detach the low-loading trailer from the truck cab. Once detached, the delivery specialists will start the process of lowering the off-ramp and included all-terrain tractor using an elegant system of hydraulics. With a very low angled off-ramp, the cabin can be slowly drawn off the trailer and steadily towed to the installation site to begin the next exciting steps.

Installation

With the cabin now at the installation site, it's time to attach the LevelMaster legs. Simply cut the legs to the desired height, bolt them to the steel skid and pre-poured concrete footings, and use the in-built screw system to perfectly level the cabin.

Now the final touches can be made. Depending on the specifications of the Zinc Cabin, this might include linking up utilities, building or installing a gorgeous timber deck, readying the composting toilet system, setting-up all soft-furnishings, or – maybe the best part – the interior decorating!

One of Australia’s greatest strengths is the incredible array of environments, climates, terrains, and landscapes, which means that each installation will likely be somewhat different from the next, but rest assured, we’re here to help! With careful and collaborative conversations and preparations, each installation can be as fun as the last.
