Quality Assurance

Barna buildings realise, as with purchasing any product it is always good to shop around. Take a look at the following check list which should help compare price and quality.

  • Be careful that the dimensions of the cabin are correct. We measure from outside wall to outside wall whereas a number of our competitors include protruding parts of the cabin thus making comparisons confusing.
  • Make sure your cabin is produced from slow grown timber. Quick growing pine is cheaper but will eventually discolour.
  • Insist on a quality roof covering. Felt shingles look well but we prefer something more durable. Our basic roof covering is onduline with a felt underlay. You won’t have roof problems with a Barna Building!
  • Is your cabin being professionally assembled. Some companies hire different erecting crews when needed - their workmanship will vary.
  • Is the wall beam thickness correct for the size of building? Most buildings look the same from a distance you can purchase a 4 x 4m building with a 35mm or even 28mm single grooved wall beam which is obviously cheaper but not so obviously different.
