“Cannot believe the quality of the Cabin nothing missing delivered on time Love the Gazebo and Cabin design give you the perfect blend of outdoor life”
“We've been looking for a long while and decided on the jannie log cabin. From start to finish I've been more than happy. I decided on using 60x90 angle iron as a foundation beam which was red leaded and painted black, the bottom logs were then sat on black window packers to keep the logs completely away from the slab. First thing we did was treat all the timbers which took a day and a half. The quality of the timber is excellent, the log joints are very precise and putting it together was child's play. I decided on putting gutter on the the cabin with the fall pipe out of site to the rear.The free felt shingles are top quality and lay perfectly flat. The only trouble we did have was putting the door frame together for the double doors but got there in the end. Iam in the building trade and would definitely recommend tuin and would not hesitate to use them again in the future.”
“First of all I have to say WOW! From ordering to delivery and construction, Tuin's service has been second to none. Before I get into the experience I have to repeat what Tuin and other reviewers state. Do watch the online videos and read the online help links from Tuin, not just once, several times. This will save you hours of head scratching, trust me I learned the hard way. First of all the ordering process was easy and hassle free, delivery was bang on time and communication was excellent. I planned to build the cabin with my wife, we are in our late 40's and neither of us have had any experience in this field. We had already built a decking base which was fortunately level and square. The instructions supplied with the cabin are pretty poor to say the least, but this is made up by the online help. Using the paper plan drawing of the cabin, we were able to work out the starting level and subsequent levels of the walls. Different sized boards would naturally fit the plan so constructing the cabin up to roof level was no issue. We came unstuck on the door frame and emailed Tuin for help. Ten minutes later and we received a detailed reply and help links to the website, which we should have looked at in the first place. There was a triangular piece above the door with what appeared to be two wooden brackets to support it. We tried all ways and spent hours trying to get the brackets to support the triangular piece. Another speedy email response from Tuin informed us that the brackets were actually window sills and nothing to do with the triangular board. With that embarrassment put to one side we tackled the roof. Again, using the paper plan drawing we were able to put the roof supports in without issue. The roof came together well and the shingles went on a breeze, (by this time we'd learned our lesson and watched the online video several times). As we live in a valley and the cabin would be subject to high winds, we fitted the shingles with the addition of roofing felt bitumen adhesive, well worth the extra effort. The whole thing was then painted with primer, undercoat and ten year weathershield paint and now looks spectacular. The quality of the wood and precision joints make the construction a breeze. The email help and online guides are a godsend. Overall this was a breeze to construct with some minor fettling here and there, mainly the roof boards. But we now have a summer house and outside gazebo in one and will enjoy it for many years to come.”
“I have been building my Jannie log cabin over the last 2 to 3 weeks.It looks absolutely awesome.I am 61 years old and have built this completely on my own.I have had no help what so ever,but it has gone up like a dream.balancing on a ladder with 20 foot logs is no easy task,and the shingles were difficult because the pitch of the roof was so steep.I have almost finished the build and it is absolutely perfect,for the position in the garden.I will send some photos when I've finished.”
“I ordered the Jennie log cabin as it offered useful cabin space and a gazebo under one roof. The concept of the log cabin appealed as it looks so much better than an ordinary summer house, construction could not be easier. The logs are precision cut and go together perfectly. The Jannie has some quite large logs but there were no issues during construction. The whole building was constructed, including roof in a single day by two of us. The roof shingles took another day. It should be noted that this was during the winter months when daylight hours were restricted. Tuin are one of the best companies I have ever done business with and should be used as an example of how businesses should be run.”
“Following an absolute disasteruous attempt to purchase exactly the same building (Janine) last year from another supplier - I had to claim my money back through my credit card - I cannot emphasise how I am impressed with Tuin. The order and delivery was perfect. Despite reading on here about poor instructions We found them good enough to be able to erect the building in a day without any trouble. Well... Ok the door frame stumped us good and proper! But as has already been said help was at hand even late at night. For anyone looking at this for guidance there was one simple instruction that is needed. The two strips of wood with slats in are to make up the difference between a 28mm cabin and a 45mm one... the rest then falls into place. You also need to make sure the 2 V shape strips 0f wood with pre drilled holes for the door hinges is fitted to the outer of the frame on each side. We fitted the roof tiles on day 2, with another morning for the door frame. Had it been summer it would have been a 2 day build, but losing the light at 4.30pm didn't help! I chose to treat the panels prior to build, allowing me to cover all the joints and ends, something you can't do when it's built. It did take me a good day and a half though. thoroughly reccomemend Tuin, just wish I had found them sooner. Don't buy from anyone else!”
