How It Works
Eco Structures partners with trusted global freight forwarders who manage air, ocean, and road freight with care and reliability. For over 30 years, we’ve been sending our glamping tents, cabins, and bath pods to every corner of the globe—more than 20 countries and counting!
Our freight forwarders make the tricky part—getting your structures to site—simple, stress-free, and transparent. We work with some of the world’s best international freight forwarding partners, ensuring your delivery arrives safely, efficiently, and without the drama.
Throughout the logistics journey, we act as your dedicated liaison: coordinating each step, keeping you informed, and ensuring you have everything you need as your new materials make their way to you.
Once your shipment reaches the port, you’re welcome to organise your own transport to site. Alternatively, we can arrange delivery directly to your project location for an additional fee.
Your structures will be delivered to your nearest major sea port.
Freight costs are subject to change. Factors such as the time of year, shipping delays, site access, weather conditions, and equipment availability may influence final delivery pricing.
Once your shipment reaches port, you’ve got two options:
Rates are confirmed closer to delivery (approx. 30 days prior to port arrival).
Container Choices
We can arrange a shipping container purchase for your order, with the cost added to your invoice. All components for your tents or cabins are securely packed based on size and quantity, then delivered directly to your site via side-loader truck.
A 40ft container holds up to 20 tons and can be unloaded with a 6-ton forklift. If items are on skids, a 20-ton forklift or similar loader may be required.
This option is popular because the container can be reused for site storage, sold after completion, or kept for long-term use. It also helps cut down on handling, transport costs, and potential weather-related damage.
Once your shipment arrives at the port, it typically takes around a week for your freight to clear customs, move through port facilities, and be destuffed from the containers ready for collection. Your goods are packed ready into crates, stillages, skids, or pallets and prepared for your onward transport.
Please note that you’ll need suitable equipment on-site to unload the goods from the truck. A telehandler or off-road forklift is recommended.
Eco Structures will assist in the delivery of our products to your location. When delivering our structures to you, our preferred option is using containers.
In our 40ft HC containers you are able to fit a combination of Eco Tents totaling 100m2 of floorspace.

WABI’s highly efficient packing system ensures that multiple modular structures can be packed into one container.
As system size varies, m2 is the most convenient unit for calculating the rate for a 40ft HC Container. Each container will fit 100m2 of WABi floorspace. Please note these are only approximate sizes and every project will change subject to the amount of glazing, bathkit or bathpod decking and add-on materials supplied.
