About Our SIP Panels

SIPs, or Structural Insulated Panels, are advanced building materials made from a rigid insulating foam core sandwiched between two layers of structural board. In the Timber Tent, these panels form the core of the walls and floor.

What does this mean for you?

Exceptional thermal insulation - Avoid excessive heating bills with thermal class 2 & 3.
High structural strength - The average lifetime of these panels are 50 years.
Faster build times - panels slot together making it simple to build.

Planning Permission & the Caravan Act

One of the major advantages of the Timber Tent is that it has been designed to comply with the Caravan Act, which means that in many cases, planning permission may not be required.

Under the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960 and the Caravan Sites Act 1968, certain structures that qualify as “caravans” - including static pods like the Timber Tent - can be sited without formal planning consent, particularly when used as ancillary accommodation within the garden of a main dwelling.

However, planning regulations can vary, so it's always worth checking with your local authority. However, thanks to its compliance with the Act’s size and mobility requirements, the Timber Tent is a strong candidate for use without the need for a full planning application.
