Timber cabins for glamping sites
A glamping site that buys timber cabins from a manufacturer is buying a factory package, not a finished pitch. Eurodita, a timber building manufacturer in Lithuania manufacturing timber buildings since 1994, supplies the cabin kit, the joinery and the drawings, quoted in writing per order. The base, the connections and the consents stay with the operator and its local contractors; installation is agreed per project.
This guide is for the operator or the dealer who has to settle the cabin type, the scope and the paperwork before asking for a quotation.
At a glance
Which cabin routes fit a glamping site
| Route | Typical use on a site | What is confirmed per order |
|---|---|---|
| Catalogue cabins | Glamping-style units, reception, storage and ancillary buildings | Model and wall profile; a solid log model can be made in any of the 28, 34, 44, 58 and 70 mm profiles |
| Twin-skin cabins | Letting units with a cavity for locally bought insulation | The build-up (44-50-44, 44-100-44, 58-50-58 or 58-100-58 mm) and its availability for the model and destination |
| Mobile log homes and lodges in glulam | Letting lodges with 1 to 4 bedrooms | Layout, glulam profile, external footprint and joinery schedule |
| Bespoke designs | Units the catalogue does not cover | Design from the operator's brief or drawing, individually calculated |
Wall type and thickness are chosen per project, by budget and by what is technically possible. Every footprint stated is an external dimension.

Planning and site licence
Eurodita manufactures timber kits and does not obtain consents; nothing here says that any cabin needs no permission. Planning permission, the site licence, classification, foundations and utilities remain with the operator, its dealer or its project team. Where a UK site needs dimensions designed around the caravan framework, Eurodita can manufacture to that brief; legal classification and site acceptance are the operator's route and are not promised by Eurodita.
The position in England is set out, with sources, on planning permission for holiday log cabins. Settle the route with the local planning authority first.
Frequently asked questions
Which timber cabins suit a glamping site?
The routes used on holiday sites are catalogue cabins, twin-skin cabins with a cavity for locally bought insulation, mobile log homes and lodges in glulam with 1 to 4 bedrooms, and bespoke designs. The route is chosen by pitch size, letting model, classification route and budget.
Does Eurodita install glamping cabins on site?
Installation is agreed per project. Eurodita supplies the cabin kit, the joinery and the drawings; bases, utilities and site works are provided locally, and turnkey delivery is not part of the standard supply.
Do glamping cabins need planning permission?
Planning permission, the site licence and classification follow the operator's local route. Eurodita does not obtain consents and does not say that any cabin needs no permission; the operator settles the route with the local planning authority.
Are the cabins insulated?
Eurodita supplies the timber structure prepared for insulation where required and does not normally supply the insulation material. Insulation is selected and bought locally.
How to prepare an enquiry
A manufacturer can quote accurately only when the operator can state the site and its planning status, the number of units in the first phase and in the full scheme, the utilities at the pitches, the trading season and the unit specification: bedrooms, external footprint, wall system, joinery and finish.
Send those points with the delivery country and the delivery basis to be priced. Eurodita replies with a written assessment and, where the project fits, a written quotation with drawings, in EUR, excluding VAT and delivery, EXW Eurodita factory by default. Installation is agreed per project, and turnkey delivery is not part of the standard supply. Unloading on site is the buyer's responsibility, with suitable equipment and safe access.
