Good quality cabin and very straifgtforward to put together (with some basic DIY tools and skills). Only reason I didnt give 5 stars is the cabin i receieved came with slightly different doors that the one i had ordered, but no real issues with the change as it was minor. I would recommend these cabins, you would pay a similar amount for a porrly constructed shed!

We bought a Peter Cabin to use as a shed. Well we wanted something a bit more elegant than a standard shed and this looks just great. It was easy to assemble. A friend and I would have finished putting the shingles on on the second day if it hadn't started raining. It was all pretty accurately machined and fitted together nicely. The various tutorials and advice on the website is very useful - even if you don't buy from Tuin, but then why wouldn't you? The product is good and the price reasonable. My only problem is that I like it too much. I want to put up smarter shelves, and as for mucky garden equipment well .......

Excellent delivery service to my driveway at 7.00 am. Began installation after digesting all instructions and your web page tips which were really helpful Me and help from my wife managed to install the cabin in just over a day including an aperture for the window and then another half day to fit roof shingles. Longest time was spent treating and painting but luckily the weather was with us. I used Johnstone's Opaque wood finish in cloudy grey expensive but excellent coverage. All in all absolutely over the moon with the purchase of our Peter log cabin Many thanks for providing a really superb product and would recommend Tuin to anyone.

Brilliant Cabin, went together really well once i followed the plans, i started by following the booklet that came with the cabin.....big mistake, maybe they have updated the cabin design and failed to update the booklet, but once i dismantled the cabin and followed the plans, it was a piece of cake. Had to plain the doors a bit to get them to fit, but all in all i am really satisfied with the end result.

After reading loads of reviews from various companies I chose Tuin. I certainly made the right choice. When ordering my Peter cabin I asked if it may be possible to deliver it one week before the suggested delivery date. My cabin arrived straight from Holland the communications from Holland about delivery and the delivery itself were spot on. The cabin exceeded my expectations the quality of the wood was great. I had made sure that the base was level, very important, and found the building of the cabin very enjoyable, like giant Lego. My wife and I built the cabin but has we are both in our 70s it took us 3 days not 2, Thankyou Tuin I would recommend your company and your products without hesitation.

We decided on a Peter Log Cabin and also decided to do everything ourselves. (This turned out to be a big mistake for two people in their late 70's; so read on!) We decided on a treated wooden base made from; o doubled 4"x2" timbers around the edges, supported by twelve 3"x3" piles set in Postcrete, o four 4"x2" cross-beams to support the floor, and o finished off with 11mm OSB board laid on top of a DPM. Cautious of my building skills, the base was deliberately made 2cm wider than required and the "overhang" painted with bitumen paint. (It turned out that the base was perfectly square!) By the time the base was finished we had discovered that the "soil" in our garden was a mixture of heavy clay and stones. It had rained almost continuously as we built the base and nearly killed us, so we decided to hand over erection to Philip Osorio, one of the Tuin recommended people in our area. Amazingly good decision! They turned up at the stated time, worked all the way through to completion and even tidied everything up before they left! I can recommend the cabin, Tuin as a Company and Philip Osorio as a contractor. A day later, we are in the process of painting the outside with Sikkens and the inside with Dulux before fitting it out as a "Man Cave" for brewing! Many thanks to all concerned.

Great quality, surprisingly easy to construct. Delivery driver was very helpful and was able to unload exactly where I wanted. Your web site information and tips were a great help. Not just easy but fun to construct. Thank you.
