Aiste Log Cabin 5 x 3 m Reviews

4.9 Rating 211 Reviews
Fantastic service and great quality product. So easy and quick to put together. Would have given it 5 stars but delivery was delayed a few weeks due to it being out of stock. We were informed of this and kept up-to-date with progress. Delivery went very smoothly too.

Great cabin! Went up within 8 hours. All joints and parts machine accurate. Delivery date was delayed, but the company kept me informed. In fact the driver coming from Amsterdam said he'd be with us in Liverpool between 3-5 pm. And he arrived with 5 minutes to spare. Poor bloke wouldn't even stop for a coffee before he had to get off again. Very sturdy cabin, went up very quickly. Great quality. Free shingles were a nice touch too.

Very pleased with my Aiste Log Cabin, it really is a quality product for an excellent price. My cabin arrived early which gave me the full day to start my build. The delivery guy was very helpful and offloaded it exactly where I needed it on the drive so I could get in/out of the back gate with the logs as I unpacked them. I must admit, I had the concrete base done professionally so it was perfectly level and square. I took a bit of time on setting out the foundation beams but having done that the build was straightforward and up to roof height in one day on my own. The logs slotted together easily, I didn't need the mallet very much at all bar the odd light tap here and there. I needed help on slotting in the windows/doors and long roof beams, I don't think you can do that on your own. By the end of day two I have the roof on complete with celotex insulation. I tiled the roof myself on day three, I was a bit unsure at the start, so I used the out of hours support just to make sure I was doing it right. They got back to me within the hour which was brilliant. All in my log cabin took four days for the basic build, I'm now giving it three coats of wood stain on the outside ready for winter. After that, I'm having the electrics fitted, again I'm going to get it done professionally, as it really needs to be a certified installation. I would thoroughly recommend Tuin and I have done to a couple of friends who might be looking to build something similar. Many Thanks !!

Spent many nights reviewing log cabins and chose Tuin, mainly because of feedback and price, plus it was the one i liked best, after ordering all went well goods arrived on time and the unloading was excellent, I found it better to erect than i thought it would be,and i am extremely pleased with the product and Tuin, And would recomend their products.

delivery driver very helpful and professional. delivered neatly onto drive as instructed and wrapped well to protect from the weather. The whole build from start to finish was a pleasure. the materials were all there and built to precise lengths. My only negative was the plans but once I started building everything fell into place perfectly. I cant praise the company enough and my log cabin is A1. As a landscaper I will be promoting this company and would be happy elaborate further.

I am very pleased with my Aiste Cabin. Reality exceeded expectations. Great communication, fantastic skilled delivery, excellent packaging. Quality product, excellent timbers, free quality shingles. Easy build by myself. Sourced additional materials locally for insulated roof and floor upgrade. See Pinterest post" Tuin Log Cabin ". Watch the Tuin videos and read the instructions and guides on the web Tuin website. I am a professional Chartered Building Engineer and this product gets my full endorsement. It is really a quality kit which is wonderfully simple to build. Of course if you can't put up a shelf you are should get someone who can to build it for you.

The Aiste log cabin was very easy to build. We spent some time making sure that the foundation and first row of beams were perfectly square and level, once this was done, it went up very quickly. Within an hour we were fitting the windows and door frames which slid easily into place. Once the frames were in we quickly reached roof level. The most time-consuming process was installing the tongue-and-groove roof sheathing. Once this was fitted, we finished for the day. The second day was spent felting the roof in preparation for the shingles. I would recommend fitting felt under the shingles because this allows the roof to be made waterproof very quickly which means you can store your tools inside. Once the roof was done, we fitted the floor which was another day. I would recommend the optional 27mm flooring because it gives a very solid, non-bouncy floor. Overall I was very pleased with the service from Tuin. The materials arrived on time, there were sufficient materials plus useful spares and my questions were answered very quickly by email. Most importantly it was a real pleasure to build this cabin, it was so well thought out there were few questions to be asked and the prepared pieces were so precisely cut they all fitted together easily.

We had brought a cabin from a local merchant and was appalled at the lack of quality and service, we sent the cabin straight back the next day. We looked around a bit more and had been recommended Tuin so brought through Tuin as we had read the reviews and read all the info on their web site. We asked a few question before hand and was met by a quick and helpful response. When the cabin arrived the driver was very helpful and gave us some good tips on how to look after the cabin before we even put it up. We watched the video on the website about 40 times, I would recommend everyone to do this, it is so helpful. During the process my husband had to email regarding the door and he had a quick response in 2 minutes. The cabin its self went up lovely and as neither of us had any building experience it look us by surprise but we did check and re check the measurements (many be a bit to much). It look about 2 full days in all to get the cabin up and water tight. The shingles are an added complement to the cabin. My husband who is a painter and decorator spent many hours taking care over the painting and has done a beautiful job on it. I would say add an extra 1000 to the cabin price for painting and electrics if you want the cabin to look and be prefect. I now have a beautiful workshop and will look forward to many hours of creating art in it (thats if my husband doesn't nick it off me). Well done Tuin you surpassed yourselves. I would recommend Tuin to anyone and everyone. Wish we had just gone with them the first time.
