‘Having roamed our way through the land mines, in just about one piece, a cluster of us avoided the flamethrowers and made it to the walls. No matter what we tried (eating through the walls, climbing to the roof etc) we just couldn’t break in. ‘Unfortunately, as time wore on it became obvious this was a lost cause and some 28 days later we gave up.’ The bizarre idea was dreamed up by Leeds firm Tiger Log Cabins, and although there haven’t yet been any sales, there have been some allegedly serious enquiries from across the Atlantic.
Managing director Ross Moran, 29, told MailOnline: ‘We’ve had a few people from America interested who are taking it a bit literally. They’re thinking about having it on their ranch.’ He added: ‘Obviously it’s a bit of a joke but the cabin is buildable. So if we get someone who’s genuinely interested and has the money we would keep to our word and go and build it for them.’ The idea for the cabin came after a conversation in the office about what would happen in a zombie apocalypse.
Marketing director Jack Sutcliffe said: ‘The conversation went from there and one of the team jokingly suggested that we would all be OK because we could just build ourselves a special log cabin and all hide in there. From there the idea was born and we thought “well, why not”.’ There is one hitch, however: planning permission. Mr Moran conceded: ‘We’d have to say what we tell all our customers – check with your local authority because they all have different rules, even when it comes to preventing a deadly swarm of the undead’.
