Why Choose Moorlands For Your Self Build?
How do Moorlands ease the process of self building a Shepherd hut? Let’s take a look
Pre-Made Framework
Moorlands has revolutionised the self-build shepherd hut experience by providing a pre-made framework that is already clad in OSB (oriented strand board). This pre-constructed framework is more than just a skeleton; it’s a carefully crafted base that simplifies the building process. Walls can simply be lifted up from the chassis to create your basic shell in a matter of minutes. Customers receive their framework with openings for windows and doors pre-set to their desired positions, ensuring each hut is tailored to its owner’s preferences.
Customised Not Compromised
Choosing the self-build option does not mean compromising on choices or design. Moorlands follows the same meticulous initial design process for each self-build hut as we do for our fully constructed models. This ensures that the placement of all openings is perfectly aligned with the client’s vision, capturing the best views and maximising the hut’s potential. From the onset, customers are involved in the design, ensuring each shepherd hut is a true reflection of their dreams.
The Satisfaction of Creation
While a self-build shepherd hut requires a fair level of DIY skill, Moorlands has designed the process to be as straightforward as possible. With clear instructions and pre-set components, most builders have been able to create a watertight shell within two to three days of starting, even in the worst-case scenario. This makes the self-build option an appealing choice for those who relish the challenge and satisfaction of constructing their own space. To create a watertight shell in just 1-3 days is a huge advantage to you.
