Many Thanks Will definitely buy again from Tuin.”
“I only read great reviews of Tuin's products online and I was so glad I made my purchase. Everything was as I could of hoped it would be - on time delivery with super helpful delivery man, great online videos and articles to help prepare for the assembly and it went together so well. Too well! I want to make another one, now :) The cabin itself is of excellent quality and I am over the moon with it - I'm typing my review on my computer sat in my cabin right now. A totally happy customer :)”
“Excellent product excellent customer service . Would use your company again and recommend you 100% always helpful and the log cabin is wonderful really can't praise you and your products enough will definately be back if we need anything else . Thank you”
“Fist class delivery on time and delivery driver very friendly and accommodating. The cabin was well packaged and we were able to leave outside until installation. The cabin was easily erected in one day by three men following the instructions provided and the online video. We are very pleased with the purchase and company as there are really easy to deal with. The only negative thing we can say is the amount of resin that has seeped out of the wood apart from that there is a few cracks in a couple of the panels but overall we are pleased with the quality.”
“As I approach retirement I wanted to have a workshop for future projects. I'd read reviews, different sizes & thicknesses and opted for a Tuin log cabin with the composite base. Due to the tools I've accumulated over the last couple years (lathes,motorbike stands etc) there was going to be a fair amount of weight on the floor, so decided to lay the cabin on a concrete base. The base is 150mm deep and contains a few sheets of rebar. I put in a10mm SWA cable for the electric supply. The cabin arrived earlier than originally scheduled and thanks to the skilled Dutch driver, having to park on the main road and then use his Moffat mountie to drive to the bottom of our cul-de-sac without damaging the 6m long pallet was a job in itself! I turned 60 this year and consider myself fairly fit & practical and allowed myself a week's holiday to erect and make watertight (I had a mate on standby if required). Prior to starting the build, I used an oil-based undercoat (Sandtex 10 year warrantee) to paint the bottom wood base ( that sits on the composite base). Day 1 - Was slow progress due to the composite base pieces being warped. They are supplied 2m long and only 1 of the 8 was straight. After some consternation, I put a 45 deg mitre on each of the 8 ends and left a 25mm gap in the middle of each side. Then following the instructions, started to lay the wooden spars (shed walls). Day 2 - The windows were supplied complete but, I had to glue & screw the door frame - it was absolutely square when put together. By the end of the day the cabin frame was completed, including the roof purlins ( using 2 sets of step ladders I slid them up from the them up bottom edge of the roof line). Day 3 - Completed one side of the roof. Note: As the tongue & groove board sits on the edge of the apex purlin i decided to pre-drill 1.5mm holes to stop any chance of the wood splitting. Day 4 - Completed the second side of the roof and undercoated all the edges of the roof by 150mm strip. Day 5 - Working from the front edge of the cabin, put the shingles on one side of the roof. Note: I was a bit slow due to constant measuring to make sure the shingles were running square across the roof. Day 6 - Put the shingles on the second side of the roof and only measured from the bottom of each shingle - it was quicker and stayed square vertically & horizontally. I still had the gaps in the composite base- I cut the spare composite pieces to size and using a mallet to push into position from the inside. Note: The composite base was still not square but due to weight of the cabin now sitting on them I could push them square using a piece of wood & a mallet. I then used mastic on the outside to seal the composite base to the concrete. Day 7: Undercoated the whole cabin. Additional info/lesson's learnt: - Use a good quality mastic around the base. The concrete base wasn't perfect - it dipped a couple of mm in places, so leaked in. I re-fitted the mastic using CT 1 bought from Wickes (13 a tube) on the outside & inside of the composite base - it now appears ok - I can now seal the floor & paint. - I erected the cabin in September on my own over 7 days and worked about 6hrs a day - I am a bit of a perfectionist, and as I had perfect weather (unusual for the Cheshire!), took my time. - The warped composite base pieces weren't really an issue - when the penny dropped about squaring them up once the cabin weight was sitting on them. - When fitting the door hinges, screw them right in within a couple of mm - they are quite stiff, l used some silicon grease to assist. Quality of the product: Absolutely perfect, it fitted together easily and I rarely had to look at the instructions. The kit was supplied with plenty of spares - I even have a 5mx40mm length spare. I certainly made the right choice and would recommend - absolute quality. Now to get on fitting the inside!”
“My experience wit Tuin has been really good, great communication, very prompt response even in these Covid times. Delivery was spot on again great communication from the haulage firm. The assembly was straight forward, but thought the assembly instructions could be a little clearer. Overall i am very please with Rome product that i choose.”
