Log Cabin Planning Checklist
Before we go through everything you need to know about our cabin delivery process, here’s what you should have taken care of already:
- Options: View all our customizable cabin options to plan and design your dream cabin!
- Site Prep: Prepared your site, including selecting a location for your log cabin that follows local zoning regulations, is accessible, and is prepped for a foundation
- Permits and Zoning: Before our pre built log cabins can be delivered to you, make sure you have all the correct permits. Building and zoning permits can be obtained from your local planning office!
- Utilities: Make sure that utilities like water, electricity, and sewage systems are available and connected to your site!
After you’ve taken these steps, you are almost ready for your log cabin to be delivered to you! Keep reading to ensure you are completely prepared for our Zook Log Cabins delivery and installation process!
Premade Log Cabins Delivered To You
All About Access
Your new Zook Log Cabin will be delivered fully assembled on a trailer. This trailer is very similar to a rollback tow truck. Because of this, it’s important that we work together to ensure the truck and trailer have adequate space to and around the site. These are our recommendations to ensure a smooth delivery:
Access Requirements
The truck and trailer can be up to 70 feet long; your site should have enough room for the driver to get into and around the site.
Driveway Preparation
Ensure your lane is stoned in and mud-free on delivery day.
Clearance Needs
Straight sections of the driveway should have at least 2 feet more width than your cabin and 14 feet of vertical clearance.
Turning Space
Make sure there’s enough room for the truck to navigate driveway curves and turns.
Site Readiness
Clear all trees, branches, and obstacles in the delivery path.
Check our cabin styles and floor plans to confirm the dimensions of your new log cabin.
Our experienced drivers are skilled at handling tight spaces, but if you have any questions about delivery, don’t hesitate to give us a call. In many cases, we will ask you to send photos of the site to help us better understand the layout and address any potential challenges ahead of time.
We’re committed to making your log cabin delivery as seamless as possible—right down to the final screw being driven.

Your Log Cabin: Delivered and Installed
The Process
The exact details of your delivery process will depend on your log cabin, the size you chose, and your location. The quoted price for your cabin includes delivery and professional installation on your prepared foundation! A representative from Zook will reach out to confirm your specific details.
Your log cabin will be delivered on our trucks. If you are interested in a larger cabin (usually anything longer than 30 ft), we will also use a crane to set your structure into place. This crane ensures precise placement, and minimizes the risk of potential damage to your property and to your new cabin.
Once your log cabin is set, our team will ensure it is fully secured and properly installed by connecting double-wide sections, fastening roofing components, and making any necessary structural adjustments. After that, you’re all set to enjoy your new cabin!

It’s All In The Log-istics
At Zook Cabins, we are committed to providing a seamless and efficient delivery experience! But we can’t do it alone. Your attention and action on preparing your site, obtaining permit applications, and open communication with us ensure a smooth process for everyone. Ensuring these tasks are completed helps to mitigate the risk of damage to your new cabin.
If any damage occurs during delivery due to incomplete site preparations, and the delivery contract has been signed prior to the truck driver’s arrival, the customer assumes responsibility for the damages. Zook Cabins cannot be held liable under such circumstances.
For more details, please review our Zook Cabins Terms & Conditions and Log Cabin Warranty and Package Information.
If you have any questions about the delivery process or your delivery specifically, please don’t hesitate to give us a call. We will be happy to walk through everything with you. We’re here to help!
