Mini 6 Person Grill Cabin - Home Living Luxury
What is a Grill Cabin?
Grill Cabins, a novel and innovative concept in outdoor living, represent a contemporary fusion of functionality and aesthetic appeal. Born from the desire to create unique spaces for social gatherings and culinary experiences, these cabins seamlessly integrate into gardens and yards, redefining the traditional outdoor cooking and entertaining experience.
With their distinctive rounded spruce board walls, bitumen shingle-covered roofs, and charming hexagonal windows, Grill Cabins offer a blend of durability, comfort, and style. Designed for year-round use, these cabins provide a sheltered haven for family occasions, intimate gatherings, or simply enjoying the serenity of the great outdoors.
6 Person Grill Cabin (4.5m2)
Introducing our smallest grill cabin. This petite cabin is capable of seating 6 individuals comfortably and can squeeze up to 8. With external dimensions of 2740 x 2370, this cabin makes efficient use of space and is ideal for small gatherings.
Our Grill Cabins
Our Grill Cabins are meticulously crafted with a focus on durability and user-friendly design. The walls boast premium-grade Norwegian rounded spruce boards, ensuring both resilience and an aesthetically pleasing finish. The high-quality preservative finish, professionally applied in the factory, allows you to personalise your cabin with a choice of main and trim colours.
Our grill and chimney kit embody sustainability, wood beauty, and a human touch, crafted from durable materials carefully selected and glued. The grill comes with cooking platforms, a table around the grill, a decorated grill table safety fence, and an adjustable chimney. The total height of the chimney is 206 cm, with a grill height of 62 cm. All surfaces are meticulously painted using a powder coating designed to withstand temperatures up to 550 degrees (not direct flames). The grill is made from 3 mm cold-rolled steel sheets, welded using TIG-type welding, while the chimney is produced from 2 mm steel using spot-welding techniques.
Our grill cabins are crafted with longevity and heavy usage in mind. We back our cabins with our warranty and we stand by the quality, design, functionality and aesthetic charm of our grill cabins (as we do with all of our products). Our Grill Cabins transcend the realm of mere outdoor structures; they are an invitation to forge a connection with your outdoor space.

Foundations
A crucial part of achieving longevity and getting the most out of your grill cabin is establishing a solid foundation. An inadequate foundation can lead to structural issues, potentially causing cracks in the grill cabin. Uneven placement of the grill cabin may alter its geometric shape, resulting in twisting of doors and windows, as well as the formation of gaps. In this section, we'll delve into the essential considerations for the base and access to the sides of your cabin, guiding you through the process of creating the perfect foundation for your outdoor space.
Access for Installation & Maintenance
For seamless installation and maintenance of our grill cabins, access to all sides is essential. We recommend allowing approximately 300mm (about 12 inches) of clearance around each side of the cabin. However, allowing more space should never be overlooked.
In instances where the cabin is positioned in a tight corner or a confined space, it's important to consider the potential challenges this may pose for future maintenance. Restricted access can hinder routine visual inspections, which are typically recommended every six months. This regular check-up is crucial to identify and address any issues promptly, preventing them from escalating into more significant problems. Therefore, when placing the cabin in a snug location, please be mindful of the potential maintenance difficulties it may entail.
Base
The cabin's foundation is the bedrock upon which your outdoor relaxation retreat will stand. To maintain the cabin's structural integrity and prevent warping over time, it's imperative that all of our cabins are fitted on a level and sturdy surface. We do not recommend installing any of our cabins on uneven ground, grass, or generally unsuitable surfaces. Instead, we advocate for the ideal base, which includes options such as concrete, tarmac, patio stones, or even a structurally sound patio decking.
To ensure proper weight distribution and stability, it is crucial that the full, complete base is in contact with the ground.
It's crucial to avoid any substantial depressions or gullies on the base surface. A depression of more than 3/4 of an inch (20mm) at any point across the base can lead to undesirable consequences, such as the cabin's floor being pushed down or bowed up in the middle. This not only poses structural issues but may also hinder you or your clients enjoyment of the grill cabin.
An inadequate base for any grill cabin can result in gaps forming. Gaps may develop in the cabin's doors or walls. These gaps can have several consequences, including:
- Reduced Insulation: Gaps in the structure compromise the quality of the insulation of the cabin, making it less energy-efficient and potentially leading to temperature fluctuations inside.
- Pest Intrusion: Openings can allow pests to enter the cabin, which could create hygiene and maintenance issues.
- Water Ingress: Gaps may permit water to seep into the grill cabin, potentially causing damage to the interior and its contents.
- Aesthetic Deterioration: Uneven gaps can mar the grill cabin's appearance and affect its overall aesthetics.
It's essential to ensure that the cabin is placed on a level and appropriate foundation to prevent these issues.
Note:
If our recommendations for building / choosing a suitable base are not adhered to, the warranty of the grill cabin will be nulled!
How to Verify Your Grill Cabin Base
Checking the solidity and levelness of your grill cabin base is crucial to ensure a flawless installation and prolonged usage. You can follow these simple steps to confirm its suitability:
- Use a level, a straight piece of material, alongside a spirit level to check for any rocking or depressions exceeding 3/4 of an inch (20mm).
- For added peace of mind, consider consulting a local builder or landscaper to confirm that the surface is level, ensuring a solid foundation for your outdoor cabin.
Get Our Opinion
If you have any doubts or questions about the surface where your cabin will be installed, please reach out to us. We are dedicated to providing you with peace of mind and expert assistance throughout the process.

The assembly of our grill cabins is designed for maximum convenience and efficiency, ensuring that your project comes together seamlessly. These modular components are pivotal in simplifying the on-site assembly process. For our larger pods and cabins, which cannot be transported as complete structures due to size constraints, this modular approach becomes even more essential. It allows us to ensure that your project can be assembled with relative ease, always with a strong recommendation to engage qualified tradesmen for this phase.
When it comes to on-site assembly, the main goal is to achieve a balance between quality and ease of installation. This is where the modular design truly shines. Walls and roofs, for most of our products, are joined together at the sides, forming a coherent structure that matches the precise specifications of your unique project. These components are fabricated with the same precision and care as the rest of the process, ensuring that every detail aligns with your vision. Whether your project is compact or expansive, the modular components guarantee a smooth assembly process.
Stage 4: Safely Secured for Transit
We work exclusively with trusted and verified couriers who understand the importance of handling and shipping our cabins with the utmost care and attention to detail.
All our projects, whether pre-assembled or delivered in modular components, undergo rigorous fastening and secure positioning measures. Prior to leaving our warehouse, each project is subjected to a thorough checklist, assuring its safe and intact transportation.
After our fabrication timeframe of 15-20 working days, we allow for a delivery window of up to 5 working days for all our grill cabins. This timeframe guarantees that your project reaches you in excellent condition, with ample time for secure transportation. The delivery phase is the final step in bringing your vision to life, and we ensure that it meets our high standards of quality and precision.

In the bird's-eye view below, you can spot the central manufacturing hub, the heart of our operation, serves as the birthplace of our pods. The central spine within this facility is our production line, a bustling conduit where pods embark on their transformation from concept to reality.
Surrounding this central hub, we have three other buildings which have integral duties. To the left, we have our Research and Development hub, where constant innovation and testing are the norm. Here, novel designs like the "Stargazer" have been developed and are now ready for your consideration. Our remaining structures are dedicated to storing high-value, precision machinery, ensuring that every component remains in peak condition. Within these walls, our timber, meticulously dried and stored, stands at the ready for immediate use.
This aerial view shows you the engine of our workshop, where we take your ideas and turn them into reality.
Inventory for Immediate Use
This is our immediate use inventory, a key component of our streamlined production process. These materials are strategically positioned beside the main production facility, ensuring quick and convenient access when needed. Rather than having to make the journey to our separate storage facility, these essential materials are located right at the heart of our production hub.
Quick Dispatch Depot
At our Quick Dispatch Depot, we maintain a streamlined process for swift order fulfilment. Our trusted couriers visit our depot regularly, typically two to three times a week. In close coordination with them, we ensure minimal waiting time for pick-up. To expedite the process, our pods are positioned in a designated area that our couriers are familiar with. They can conveniently drive into the depot, load up the pods, and be on their way. As depicted in the image below, our pods are lined up for next-day dispatch. They are now ready to be wrapped, protected and safeguarded for their journey to their final location.
Eco-conscious Manufacturing
At our facility, we make careful and considered choices in every step of production to ensure that our products meet not only the highest standards of quality but also the highest standards of environmental responsibility. From our selection of sustainable timber to the recycling of waste materials, each decision is a reflection of our dedication to making a positive impact on our planet.
- Sustainable Timber Selection: We, as a responsible manufacturer, take great care in choosing our materials. We exclusively use reasonably sourced spruce and thermowood for all our projects. Our commitment to sustainability is evident in the Nordic spruce we source from Scandinavia. Every board used in our camping products has its unique character and history. This reflects our dedication to providing you with natural and distinctive products. Our spruce ranges in colours from creamy white to red-brown, and we ensure that it is responsibly harvested, resulting in a lower environmental impact.
- Thermowood Cladding: We believe in making eco-conscious choices throughout our production processes. By selecting thermowood cladding for our products, we prioritise durability and sustainability. This natural and renewable resource offers remarkable stability and resistance to rot, making it the ideal choice for cladding buildings. Opting for thermowood cladding ensures a long lifespan for our products, reducing maintenance time and costs for you.
- Recycling Waste Materials: At our facility, we actively recycle all sawdust and waste materials generated during production. This initiative is our way of contributing to a more sustainable approach to manufacturing. We recognise the importance of minimising waste sent to landfills and strive to reduce our environmental footprint.
- Quality Roof Shingles: We are committed to providing top-quality roofing materials for our products. Our roofing materials feature bitumen tiles with a highly resistant fibreglass base and polymer-reinforced bitumen mix. These materials are carefully chosen for their durability and weather resistance, including UV protection. By making informed choices about the materials we use, we ensure that our products not only perform exceptionally but also maintain a strong commitment to sustainability.
By implementing these eco-conscious initiatives and responsibly sourcing our materials, we demonstrate our dedication to environmental responsibility. These practices are an integral part of our manufacturing process, and we take pride in contributing to a more sustainable future.
R&D
- 3D Model Creation: In the world of innovation and creativity, precision and foresight take the lead. Our journey starts by crafting vivid and lifelike 3D models for each product in our pipeline. Long before they gain the certification and proceed to production, these 3D models serve as the canvas for our ideas.
- This early stage in our R&D process allows us to thoroughly explore and design every element of our creations, ensuring they meet our exacting standards and your expectations. Armed with cutting-edge design software, we spare no expense in this pivotal phase.
- Here, we calculate dimensions, explore features, and set the stage for each product line to embark on its journey with the right start. Welcome to the world of R&D where innovation blooms from precision and imagination.
- Painting Precision: When it comes to giving life to our creations, precision in painting is paramount. We understand the importance of getting every shade just right, and that's why we've built a comprehensive system to ensure it.
- In our offices, you'll find a palette of swatches, a colourful symphony of choices. These swatches help our designers meticulously plan and execute the colours of your dreams. But it doesn't end there.
- In our workshop, where the magic happens, our skilled artisans find a display of RAL colours. These serve as a precise guide, ensuring that when your pod is painted, it matches the exact hue you've seen on our website.
- This streamlined process eliminates any margin for error, assuring you that your pod's colour will be an exact match to your vision. It's all about painting with precision and delivering your dream in vivid colour.
Closing
In closing, we want to highlight that our unwavering commitment to technical excellence sets us apart from our competitors. The foundation of our success lies in our cutting-edge design rendering process, precision-driven CNC milling, and innovative modular assembly techniques. These advancements empower us to offer products of not only the highest quality but also tailored to your exact specifications. As we've taken you on this journey through our pod-making process, we hope you've seen how our dedication to innovation and craftsmanship truly distinguishes us in the market. We go the extra mile because we believe your dreams deserve nothing less.
Now, let's delve into what makes our modular pods genuinely special. While our pre-assembled pods, cabins, and saunas are undoubtedly exceptional and guaranteed to deliver outstanding results, our modular, un-assembled pods offer a level of flexibility that's second to none. What truly sets them apart is how easily any competent joiner can assemble them, providing you with maximum flexibility. This means that access to your property is never an issue when you choose our modular pods. In most cases, they can be assembled in just one full day, a level of flexibility that is truly unique.
What's even more remarkable is that this flexibility doesn't come at the expense of quality. Our assembly manuals are meticulously crafted to enable you or your joiner to follow the exact steps we would use in-house. This ensures that the final product meets the same high standard of quality that our expert engineers would achieve if they were assembling it in-house. With our modular pods, you get the best of both worlds: top-notch quality and the flexibility to match your unique needs and timeline. It's a testament to our commitment to delivering the most innovative and customer-centric solutions in the market.
Furthermore, not only have we achieved everything mentioned above, but we're also proud to offer pods that are not only competitively priced but unmatched in affordability for the quality and scale of our operations. At Home Living Luxury, we bring you products of superior quality and eco-consciousness that don't strain your budget. That's the Home Living Luxury difference.

Grill Cabin Warranty
Our grill cabins are designed, fabricated and transported, adhering to the highest British and European standards of craftsmanship and quality. We maintain close partnerships with our dedicated partners and couriers to ensure the utmost quality.
As a testament to our confidence in our grill cabins, we proudly offer a comprehensive two-year warranty on all our grill cabins. This warranty underscores our commitment to delivering top-tier, durable, and reliable cabins to our valued customers. Our two-year structure warranty covers our grill cabins for both private and commercial use.
Given the exceptional quality and construction of our grill cabins, when treated and maintained correctly, their lifespan is virtually limitless. With the right care, we confidently state that our cabins are built to endure for many decades to come.
Our comprehensive two-year warranty covers all aspects of your cabin, ensuring you have peace of mind when it comes to your investment. This warranty includes:
- Entire Cabin Structure: Your entire grill cabin structure, including walls, flooring, is included. We guarantee that these components will remain in impeccable condition throughout the warranty period.
- Roof: The roof of your grill cabin is a vital part, and our warranty ensures its ongoing perfect condition, regardless of the roof design.
- Internal Walls: The internal walls are also under our warranty protection, ensuring their enduring quality.
- Central Grill: The central grill of our cabins, the main focal point of the entire structure, is also fully covered by our two year full warranty.
Post Warranty Repairs
After the warranty period ends, or if the products are intentionally damaged by third parties or due to customer fault, Home Living Luxury may, in some cases, offer replacement parts for a fee. The cost of these replacement parts and services will be based on rates set by Home Living Luxury.
Customers are required to cover the expenses for these services unless Home Living Luxury specifies otherwise. The exact criteria and terms for post-warranty repairs or damages resulting from intentional misuse will be determined by Home Living Luxury.
Warranty Exclusions
Within the following sections, we will provide a detailed overview of the specific exclusions contained within our warranty terms. These are important to understand as they delineate situations and circumstances where warranty coverage may not apply.
- Non-compliance with Assembly Instructions: Your grill cabin is delivered in modular components., It is crucial to follow the provided assembly instructions correctly. Your warranty will be void if the assembly is done incorrectly due to not adhering to the detailed and comprehensive instructions provided with your purchase.
- Natural Characteristics of Wood: As wood is a natural material, the warranty does not cover the following aspects:
- Wood may develop cracks after assembly.
- Wood movement, which may lead to gaps in walls due to factors like lightning, hurricanes, or tornadoes, resulting in changes in the item's shape.
- The occurrence of mould on wood.
- Wooden details that include intact branches and do not compromise the item's stability.
- Consequences of extreme or unusual weather conditions, such as water seepage through the wall or roof shingles during exceptionally heavy rain, strong winds, or weather events like lightning, hurricanes, or tornadoes.
- Use of the item not in accordance with its intended purpose or malfunctions caused by non-compliance with the provided instructions.
- Alterations and Repairs: The warranty is not applicable if the items are disassembled, their components are replaced, or if the items are altered by entities other than Home Living Luxury. Additionally, if third parties have carried out repairs on the items.
- Normal Wear and Tear: Natural wear and tear of the materials used and the item itself are not covered by the warranty.
- Atmospheric Influences: Wood, being a natural construction material, can be affected by atmospheric conditions. Before processing, timber typically contains up to 18% residual moisture content, and changes in humidity due to different weather conditions (e.g., rain, freezing, cold, or heat) can impact the wood structure and may lead to the following effects:
- Cracking during the drying process, which is considered a natural occurrence and not covered by the warranty.
- Adaptation of wooden details to new conditions a few weeks after construction. This may necessitate adjustments to doors.
- Ultraviolet rays (solar rays) may cause changes in the colour of the wood.
In summary, it's important to note that our warranty does not cover instances of misconstruction, misuse, normal wear and tear, and the effects of weather and atmospheric influences on wood.

Returns
Making Changes to Your Order
We understand that sometimes changes may be necessary to meet your specific requirements. You have a window of opportunity to make changes to your order, but it's important to act promptly to avoid any additional charges. Order fabrication typically commences 5-7 days after your order placement, which is why the following conditions apply to facilitate any changes:
- You can make changes to your order within 3 working days from the date of order placement without incurring any extra fees.
- It may be possible to make changes up to 5 working days after placing your order, but after the initial 3 working days, a "late amendment fee" may apply along with any additional charges resulting from the modifications.
- Please note that while we will do our absolute best to accommodate your requested changes, the final decision lies at the discretion of Home Living Luxury.
Our dedicated support team is here to assist you in this process, providing project insights to help streamline the changes effectively. Please contact us as soon as possible if you require any amendments to your order.
Pre-delivery Cancellations
Building on the information provided above, it's crucial to emphasise that our grill cabin fabrication typically commences 5-7 days after you place your order. Given this timeline, it becomes quite challenging for us to entertain pre-delivery order cancellations once your order is officially placed. Our cabins are crafted to your precise specifications, which significantly limits the opportunity for returns or order amendments. Therefore, we strongly advise careful consideration before finalising your order.
If you ever find the need to make changes to your order, please contact us as soon as possible within the initial 3 working days from the date of order placement. During this timeframe, adjustments can be made without incurring additional fees. However, it's essential to clarify that the window for a full order cancellation is strictly 3 working days. If you choose to cancel your order within this period, a 5% cancellation fee will be retained by Home Living Luxury. For example, if your grill cabin order is valued at £10,000 and you request a full refund within the 3 working day period, we will issue the refund, deducting a 5% cancellation fee (£500). This policy specifically applies to products designed and crafted to your unique specifications, which explains its precise nature.
Please note that orders cannot be cancelled after the initial 3 full working days following the order placement. This policy is in place to ensure a streamlined and efficient process for all our valued customers.
Returns for Damaged Deliveries
Our returns policy accommodates orders that are received damaged by our courier. In such cases, please do not sign off on the delivery document and follow these steps:
- Refuse the delivery: If you happen to notice any damage to the product during the delivery process, please refuse to accept the delivery from our courier. This crucial step initiates the return process for damaged orders. The order will then be returned to the local depot, where further investigations and assessments will be conducted to address the issue. This helps ensure that any damage is properly documented and addressed in a timely manner.
- Document the damage: After refusing the delivery, it's crucial to thoroughly document the damage. Take clear and detailed photographs of both the damaged packaging and the product itself. These photos should offer a comprehensive view of the extent of the damage. This documentation will be invaluable in processing your repairs, replacement, or refund, and ensuring a swift resolution to the issue.
- Contact us immediately: Reach out to our support team within 24 hours of the delivery refusal. Provide us with the photos and a description of the damage, and we will initiate the return process.
At Home Living Luxury, your satisfaction is our top priority, and we want to ensure your grill cabin arrives in perfect condition. While we take extreme care in the packaging and transportation of our cabins to prevent any issues, we understand that unforeseen circumstances can sometimes occur. In the rare event that you notice any damage during the delivery process, our return policy is designed to protect you, our valued customer.
Once a ticket has been raised, we will conduct thorough investigations and assessments to address the issue. This helps ensure that any damage is properly documented and resolved in a timely manner.
In the unfortunate event that a resolution cannot be reached through repairs or replacement, we offer a full refund. Please note that in such cases, the 5% cancellation fee will not apply, ensuring you are compensated fairly.
Post-Delivery Returns
At Home Living Luxury, we place paramount importance on delivering high-quality grill cabins crafted to your exact specifications. While we strive to ensure that your order arrives in pristine condition, we recognise that there may be concerns or issues that arise post-delivery. It's essential to clarify our approach to post-delivery returns:
- Refunds for Non-Damaged Products: The bespoke nature of custom build orders means that we cannot provide refunds for products that have not been damaged during the delivery process. Each cabin is designed to meet your unique needs, making it challenging to resell them to another customer.
- Installation and Final Location: Once your order has been received successfully, and there is no damage reported, we regret to inform you that we cannot accept refunds under any circumstances. This policy is in line with the custom nature of our products.
While we cannot offer refunds for non-damaged products, our dedicated support team is here to assist you with any concerns or inquiries you may have. We are committed to ensuring your experience with our grill cabins is as positive as possible.
