“I purchased this cabin in May and it arrived within a few weeks. I used a local joinery company to put it up as there were no local West Yorkshire assemblers on the website. It went up in one day with three guys. It would have been to much for us to do personally. It is a grate cabin and we are really pleased with it. Thank you”
“After lots of research and reading reviews we decided to go with Tuin for our summer house. A short call to Tuin and our Peter log cabin was ordered together with optional t&g floor and a large window, delivery date was later confirmed by e-mail and as expected arrived as agreed, the window came a few days later. The concrete base had been laid and the build started, it took 2 1/2 hours to get the walls and roof purlins up and next day roof t&g boards were fitted, the free shingles took a day to fit and look amazing.The window was a retro fit and looks like it was always meant to be there. It has been completely painted outside with a lovely shade of very light blue with white frames and looks brilliant. From start to finish it has been an easy and enjoyable project and I can highly recommend Tuin for brilliant customer service and communication and the excellent quality of their products. Definitely a 5 star rating from us and would always recommend Tuin to anyone contemplating a log cabin.”
“Tuin are an excellent company to deal with and their cabins represent great value. The Peter is a nice sized cabin and not to demanding to build, but a few carpentry skills do help to get it right. We actually shortened the front overhang on ours and think it looks a little better like this. We also came up with a way to install the door frame after building the cabin, since this makes painting the front of the cabin much easier and allows the inside of the frame to be coated. One word of caution - building these cabins can be done in a couple of days, but building them well and finishing them to a good standard does take longer, no matter how experienced the builder.”
“This is the third log cabin I have purchased from tuin it arrived on time and was exactly as expected from tuin top quality easy to assemble total time for assembly time was nine hours including fitting the shingles completed without assistance. I can highly recommend tuin as an excellent company to deal with and purchase from you get a lot for your money i can guarantee you will not get a cabin from anywhere else of this quality for the money I have purchased three and researched other similar products each time before I purchased from tuin and have always reverted back to tuin”
“Really glad I did plenty of research before buying a log cabin. The delivery was easy, and with the help of a few friends, we put up the cabin last weekend. Watching the video beforehand was a great help. The finished building looks great at the end of the garden and Im confident it will be there for many years.”
“In a word Excellent! The whole process from ordering to delivery and construction has been a great experience. I would recommend Tuin to anyone. The Peter 3mx3m was chosen as it was the largest we could fit in a smallish garden the end result to be used as a woodcraft workshop. I can support all the good points others have made regarding the quality of timber, design, fittings and accuracy of machining. I attempted the build myself and it can be done! just take your time and follow all the good advice that is available. I decided on a Winter build so that I could do the final works in anticipation of a warm Summer!? I confess, I made mistakes! I hope that by sharing them here you will not be discouraged. 1. My base wasnt level enough even though I had checked it with spirit level, laser pen and laser level! I know my spirit level was too short at only 600mm but I can only put the rest down to earthquakes! This meant a lot of time spent preparing well preserved full length wedges of timber to correct the problem. 2. I was sure I didnt need the plan! Result I got carried away building the side walls up and had to undo 2 rows very carefully (it can be done). 3. My waterproof PVA glue wasnt happy on the door frame and dried white and weak probably due to very low temperatures. 4. After I had put all the roof timbers on I noticed that one was on upside down! Had I been wide awake I would have realised that the 2 sides were different I just went by look! I suppose 1 wrong out of about 50 isnt too bad. I will have to back it out now Ive seen it though! The best news of all is that I managed to get the structure snow-proof before the whole of the UK was wiped out by snow! There is no felt on yet but the whole structure seems to be completely happy to stand up to whatever the elements can throw at it. Really looking forward to building the nice thick floating floor that Tuin supplied just need some of that warm weather to appear! Thanks to all at Tuin! John”
“Excellent product and delivery service. Paper Instructions a little basic, online help is excellent. All fitted together perfectly and now I have a very strong and good looking cabin. Cabin built during the winter meaning the roof shingles did not bond together very well (need 20 deg). I had some damage after 80 mph winds. There were enough shingles left to repair roof and I used a bonding agent, all good now.”
