There is a 12–14-week lead time for all orders (weather dependent as ACQ treated timber needs to be air dried). This is the general order-delivery timeframe. If the lead time exceeds 16 weeks, you will be entitled to a full refund if you would prefer.

Each kit includes pre-cut FSC-approved Finnish Nordic Pine logs, double-glazed doors and windows, asphalt roof shingles, waterproofing underlay, flooring, sub-floor base, decking, all necessary hardware, and comprehensive assembly instructions.

No specialised skills are required! Our cabins are designed for easy DIY assembly. Basic tools such as a drill, screwdriver, level, and rubber mallet will be helpful. We provide step-by-step instructions to guide you through the process.

Assembly time varies depending on the cabin size and the number of people working on it.

On average, it takes 2–5 days.

While our kits come with high-quality asphalt shingles, we understand some customers may prefer Colorbond roofing. If you wish to use Colorbond, we can exclude the shingles and offer a discount—just let us know at the time of purchase.

Yes, all our timber is ACQ-treated, providing superior protection against termites, decay, and rot. This ensures your cabin remains durable and long-lasting, even in Australia's climate.

Unlike single-glazed glass, our double-glazed windows and doors provide:
✔ Better insulation to keep your cabin cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
✔ Reduced noise for a more peaceful environment.
✔ Increased security and durability.

Yes, our outward-opening windows provide better airflow than tilt-only designs. Standard sizes are:

• Single windows: 1160mm x 600mm

• Double windows: 1160mm x 1200mm

Council regulations vary by location. In many areas, cabins under 10m² may not require approval, but we always recommend checking with your local council to ensure compliance before purchasing.

‍Owner Builder Rules / Council Regulations.

‍We supply the timber cabin kit only.  We are not able to provide the necessary forms to assist with a council application to have our cabins approved as a Class 1a habitable dwelling. 

‍However, getting council approval maybe easier than you may think. The best way to achieve this is by applying for an ‘Owner Builders’ licence.  Assembling a ‘My Cozy Cabin’ timber cabin is relatively easy, and you can save a lot of money by building one of our cabins as a DIY managed project.

‍If your cabin requires council approval, our best recommendation is to become an owner builder. You will need an owner builders’ licence and a white card. These are accessible by doing an online course. The length of the course can vary, but it generally takes a few hours to complete, depending on the provider and your pace of learning.

Basically, an owner builder who does not have many building skills can manage the project by outsourcing the cabin build to a local builder.  You then manage the site to ensure it is built as required. You can save yourself a lot of money by doing parts of the building process yourself and outsource the rest to qualified trades.

‍All cabins come with plans, and comprehensive instructions.

‍Once you have received your Owner Builder certificate and permit, combined with your development application number from council, then you are ready to commence on the job site.

To keep your cabin in great condition:

• Apply a quality exterior timber sealant every few years.

• Ensure adequate ventilation to prevent moisture build-up.

• Clean and maintain the roofing and windows periodically.

Depending on where your property is we may be able to recommend an experienced My Cozy Cabins’ builder, however given the simplicity of building our cabins, we generally suggest you seek an experienced handyman or local tradesman that can offer an hourly or fixed rate. Our cabins only take from 2-5 days to complete.
