Construction and Materials
Trailer
Coastal Cabins manufacture our trailers in-house. Designed and built to be over-engineered, trailers are one area where weight isn’t considered an issue.
All cabins come with a braking system and removable towing arm and are designed and built to be strong and durable.
Framing
Coastal Cabins structure is strong enough to withstand transportation and light enough to ensure the cabin is easily transportable.
Coastal Cabins uses lightweight steel framing, which is designed and fabricated with a computerised cutting machine ensuring millimetre accuracy. Utilising this technology ensures Coastal Cabins is able to build your cabin to the highest possible standards for strength and longevity maximising every inch available.
Insulation
Coastal Cabins provides weatherproof, dry and warm cabins. We insulate the floor, walls and ceilings in all our cabins. Coastal Cabins all come with Ecowool insulation to the walls and ceiling and Expol insulation under the floor.
Having insulation that has proven the test of time ensures that the Coastal Cabins product is able to remain warm in the coldest of New Zealand conditions.
