“We purchased a Jannie Log Cabin in September this year having been inspired to create something different in the garden that supported our love of big cats, lions & tigers. The Jannie Cabin itself is exceptionally well made and the instructions were reasonably simple to follow. Although we got stuck on the door frame assembly, Richard and one of his tech team responded quickly and even sent us a hand drawing explain what we needed to do and how to assemble the frame. This must have been spot on as when we hung the doors we had a lovely 1mm gap all the way round. We are so pleased with the Cabin, we have now pushed on and turned it into our very own African Hut, we have posted a review on Facebook and all are friends think it's awesome. If your going to do one of these and add bits to a cabin as we have, you must follow Tuins Golden Rules, there is loads of self help on the website which gives you information about how natural wood products move and how the cabin will expand & contract and change as the moisture content changes etc. We just heeded their good advice, did not fix through any of the logs and created slip joints on everything we needed to. The African shelf we built in the roof apex is supported by carrying the weight to the ground via independent poles and over the door head which was suitably reinforced so it would bear the weight. The vaulted roof beams have been strengthened by adding to the width as well as the depth of the roof timbers so this becomes self supporting too. Don't throw the packing pallet away, we found some great timber here to make lots of little extras and finish the cabin with style. Thanks again Tuin, Richard & the team, we will be back next year when we put up a beach hut in the garden !!!”
“Cabin arrived in less than the stated delivery time. All parts were there and in good condition. As in many other reviews the instructions that came with the pack were limited but with the online instructions it was fairly easy to get to grips with everything. I e-mailed and called for some extra advice and got immediate answers. Anyone with basic DIY knowledge should get on fine. We (myself & my Wife!) got the cabin built up to the maximum wall height in a few hours with no problems at all. The roof was the part that took the most time and the shingles took even longer but all in all if I put all the time together it took me only 2 complete days to finish and another 2 to paint. I still have a few minor adjustments to make but I am more than happy with the end result and quality of the material. We now have an excellent outside space to protect us from the Scottish weather and I now have my own bar!”
“Now finished. Putting on the shingles was a long job and I was short a pack but Tuin provided this in 24 hours. The end result is simply amazing. A very high quality product from a company you can trust. Look no further!”
“We are over the moon with our purchase of the jannie log cabin, the machining was spot on,the timbers were straight and true.myself a carpenter and a non skilled lad had this erected in a few hours. However the instructions to the shed itself were vague but it was a case of process of elimination.The instructions to the door set were even worse BUT the Tuin team were very helpful as were the on line videos”
“Excellent service by Tuin team, had a few questions on erecting the the door frame etc so contacted Tuin team and recieved an email drawing in no time. Also ran out of shingles for the roof, recieved a full pack delivered the following day. Excellent product and service, would recommend....”
“I have been in the building trade for many years and in my opinion the quality of the product is excellent combined with a first class service from the company.”
“We bought the Jannie cabin from Tuin after looking at several different types of cabin from various suppliers. We chose this as the price was good, quality appeared to be very good and there was a wealth of sensible and useful advice on the website. The whole ordering process was very straightforward and the cabin arrived more quickly than expected. Overall quality is excellent, been very impressed. The instruction could be better, there were a few bits that took some working out. Between three of us we had it built in a day and a half and then I spent a week of evening finishing the roof shingles and fitting the floor. Overall very impressed with the cabin and the service received. Email were answered very quickly even over weekend when I had queries. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tuin to anyone.”
“The first thing to notice was the accuracy of the cutting and machining. The cabin went together without a single problem. The finished cabin is very solid and excellent quality. The instructions are very basic indeed and take a while to understand, some instructions on how to fit the roof would be of benefit. The extent of our DIY up till now has been limited to flat pack furniture, so this cabin cannot be to difficult for anyone with a bit of particle know how. When we did have a question Richard was very quick to reply and was very helpful indeed. I would not hesitate in recommending Tuin log cabins to anyone.”
