What is a jackleg cabin?
A jackleg cabin is a steel-framed, portable site cabin with adjustable legs (“jacks”) that allow it to be levelled on uneven ground. The construction is lighter than antivandal: making it cost-effective for offices, staff canteens, drying rooms, and other site facilities where heavy steel security construction isn’t the priority.
Apex roof or convex roof, which should I choose?
Convex is the standard rounded steel roof, robust and weather-tight. Apex is the pitched profile. The pitched profile delivers greater internal headroom and a more premium feel throughout. The choice usually comes down to budget and how the cabin will be used; we’re happy to talk through both for your site.
What comes fitted as standard in a jackleg cabin?
Every unit ships with LOT 20 compliant panel heaters, internal lighting, sockets, and full insulation. Walls are finished in 12.5mm plasterboard. Canteens are fitted with a sink unit and undercounter water heater as standard. Specific layouts (office, canteen, drying room, security hut) come with the appropriate fit-out for the room type.
Can multiple cabins be linked together on-site?
Yes, cabins can be positioned side-by-side or end-to-end and linked with door openings or covered walkways to form a larger site facilities block. We can plan the layout with you in advance so the delivered units arrive ready to combine.
Do you supply drying rooms?
Yes. Our drying room cabins are fitted with freestanding coathooks and benches, with lockers also available on request. The LOT 20 panel heaters and ventilation keep wet weather gear dry between shifts.
What’s the difference between antivandal and jackleg construction?
Antivandal cabins use heavy steel security construction throughout: fully welded steel walls, doors, and shutters, designed to resist forced entry and impact. They also include an external electrical connection point as standard so the unit can be powered up before final fit-out. Jackleg cabins are lighter steel-framed builds, appropriate where extended security construction isn’t required.
Does the heavy steel construction affect the comfort inside?
No, antivandal units are fully insulated and lined with 12.5mm plasterboard, then fitted with LOT 20 compliant panel heaters and internal lighting. Inside, they feel the same as a jackleg cabin; the difference is in the shell.
Can antivandal cabins be linked to form larger setups?
Yes: antivandal cabins can be positioned and linked the same way as jackleg, end-to-end or side-by-side, to create larger offices, canteens, or site facilities blocks. We’ll plan door positions and external electrical connection points in advance.
What’s antivandal best suited for?
Antivandal is the right choice anywhere extended steel construction is preferred over standard jackleg: typically when the unit will be on-site for an extended period, when it needs to be left unattended outside working hours, or when client procurement specifies it as standard. Pharmaceutical, manufacturing, and engineering clients often spec antivandal as default for this reason.
Do you deliver across Ireland?
Yes. Every Hayes Cabin Services unit is delivered nationwide from our base in West Cork. The truck-mounted cranes in our fleet lift the unit off the truck and position it exactly where you need it on-site, so no separate crane is required. RAMS and a lift plan produced by our appointed person are issued in advance for every delivery as standard, and all lifting equipment is GA1 certified.
How quickly can you deliver?
Most deliveries are scheduled within 48 to 72 hours of order confirmation, subject to stock and route. For specialist modifications or bespoke builds the lead time is longer. We’ll confirm a firm date in writing before invoice.
