Our larger models have an optional insulation package available that includes insulation for the floor, roof, and walls. However, the cabins do not need to be insulated when used only during the summer months. If planing to use the cabin for three seasons, we recommend insulating the floor and the roof to make the cabin more energy efficient. If the floor and the roof insulation is not sufficient, the wall insulation can be added late on.

Depending on the cabin, but most of the time, the space is quite small and can easily be cooled down or heated up. The most used heating option for cabins is electrical heater that is easy to install and does not need a lot of maintenance.
