Jackleg cabins are portable steel buildings supported on adjustable steel legs. The leg system allows each unit to be levelled on uneven or sloping ground without the need for concrete foundations, making them significantly faster and more cost-effective to install than a permanent structure. The adjustable legs also allow units to be stacked, giving you the option to create a two-storey layout where site space is limited. This combination of flexibility, speed, and low installation cost makes these cabins one of the most practical temporary building solutions available for construction sites, infrastructure projects, and remote workplaces across the UK.
In many cases, temporary jackleg cabins do not require planning permission when used on construction sites or for short-term project use. However, requirements can vary depending on location and duration. We recommend checking the Planning Portal or consulting your local authority if you are unsure whether your intended use requires consent.
A Wide Range of Cabins Available
Our range covers a variety of layouts across multiple sizes, from compact 10ft x 8ft units through to large 40ft x 12ft open plan suites. Every jackleg cabin can be customised before delivery to your exact requirements, including flooring, partition walls, kitchen areas, toilet facilities, and external spray colour.
Contact us today with your size and layout requirements, and we will help you find the right unit for your project. All cabins in our range are available for hire or sale at competitive weekly rates.
Why Choose a Used or New Jackleg Cabin?
Jackleg cabins are one of the most practical and widely used forms of temporary site accommodation in the UK. The adjustable steel leg system allows each unit to be levelled on uneven or sloping ground without the need for foundations, making them faster and more cost-effective to install than a permanent building. The legs also allow units to be stacked, giving you the option to create a two-storey structure where site space is limited.
For projects where security is also a priority alongside flexibility, our anti-vandal cabins and units offer a robust steel alternative built specifically for higher-risk environments.

Under the Construction Design and Management Regulations 2015, principal contractors are required to ensure adequate welfare facilities are in place throughout a construction project. Our jackleg welfare units, canteen and toilet combinations are designed to help contractors meet these requirements quickly and cost-effectively.
For projects that also require shower or toilet facilities as standalone units, we supply a range of portable shower and toilet blocks to complement your site setup. If you need secure on-site storage alongside your jackleg cabin, our steel storage containers are available for sale or hire.
