Steel A-frame cabin · Made in Manchester
The A-Frame
A steel A-frame cabin with a glazed gable — the silhouette guests book for.
Photographed: Prototype 001 — built March 2025, Manchester yard
Prototype 001
Built in March 2025. Not rendered.
Every photo on this page is the first A-Frame we built, photographed outside the factory that made it. No stock imagery, no CGI — just the prototype, in the yard, on a grey Manchester morning.
The cabin nobody else on the listing page has. A steel-framed A-frame with a fully glazed gable option, cut and pressed from British steel in our Manchester factory. Delivered fully assembled by crane, or as a flat-pack kit.
Every order is made to the same drawings, on the same lines, by the same people who press roof sheets and composite panels for the UK construction trade.
Specification
Any RAL means any RAL — we run the powder-coating line ourselves, so colour is a choice, not a surcharge.

Any RAL, live
Pick your colour. Decide by eye.
We run the powder-coating line ourselves, so any RAL colour costs the same as anthracite. Spin the cabin, try a few — then tell us the code in your enquiry.

A deposit secures your build slot; the balance is invoiced before dispatch. Lead time: 4 weeks from deposit.
Who it's for
Built to be booked. Happy to be lived in.
Glamping sites, holiday parks & farm diversification
The A-Frame is the silhouette that stops the scroll on a listing page — and the glazed gable turns it into a lantern at dusk, which is the photo that fills a booking calendar. For operators, the steel shell is the quieter win: nothing on the maintenance rota between changeovers, and a powder-coat colour matched to your site's palette or brand.
Ordering more than one? Kits palletise efficiently for multi-unit deliveries, and assembled cabins can be craned in one after another. Tell us the site and the numbers — we quote the whole job.
Gardens, studios & spare rooms
The A-Frame is just as happy at the bottom of a garden — as a studio, an office or the spare room the house never had. The same steel shell applies: warm in January, cool in July.
The garden cabin page answers the power, planning and price questions in one place.
