Cabin Kit Tutorial
Quick and Easy
As a Do-It-Yourselfer, you'll enjoy the basic precept of a
Sleeper Cabin. Everything is pre-measured and pre-cut.
All you have to do is start to put it together using some very
common hand tools and power tools.
Depending on the kit ordered, you may have to assemble the floor
package first. With you and a friend, this should take no more
than a couple of hours depending on your stem wall/foundation
support.
Once your floor is framed, or slab poured, assembly of the cabin
itself is a snap. Conceptually, it is very similar to building
a house out of a deck of cards - like you did when you were a kid.
Following the included
instructions [See
Sample], you will start with a corner
panel and work your way around the cabin setting up the interior
framed walls about three-quarters of the way through. Once
completed, you set the main ridge beam and roof panels. At
that point, you're almost 100% dried-in. All you need are
windows and doors.

More About Door & Windows Sizes
As a Do-It-Yourselfer, you already know the incredible deals you
can get from certain big box stores like Home Depot and Lowes.
It is usually cheaper for you to get your windows, doors, siding,
etc. from them that from us. As such, we have designed our
cabins with the rough openings to fit the regular brands of door and
windows you'll find at your discount builder supply stores.
For ease of installation, we recommend you purchase pre-hung doors
where ever you decide to purchase.
Once you've installed your windows and exterior door, you will
need to put your roof underlayment on to help prevent leaks in the
event of rain or snow. Once you've done that, you are
completely dried-in and you can start work on the rest of the
project. Total time to set up the cabin should be about two
full days of work for two guys. Finishing the cabin [e.g.,
drywall, flooring, etc.] can be done later and at your
convenience. After all, getting the cabin shell set up is the key to
completing the project.
