“I purchased this cabin after many hours of research and making comparisons with other products on the market and made the decision to purchase the Rome cabin from Tuin. I have to say that it was the best thing I did, I have purchased many sheds and small structures over the years, and this one is in a class of it's own The company were superb in that they gave me a date and it arrived early how many do that! the driver was as accommodating as any driver I have known, and is a credit to his company, did not get his name but he was a big guy about six four and has three sugars in his coffee. Well done Tuin you have my vote every time, Dave Chapman”
“An absolutely stunning cabin , from ordering to delivery to erection couldnt have gone any smoother. Ordering was easy and simple with good photos on offer to see what I was wanting to buy. Delivery was spot on one call from haulier and arranged date and time . Building cabin was pretty straight forward and went up with no trouble at all . Putting roof on and shingles was probably the hardest part but well worth it . Im very pleased with my cabin and tuin would recommend both to family and friends”
“The cabin came well packed and although my driveway where I wanted it was up a small private road this was no problem for the driver who was able to fork lift it exactly where I wanted it. The cabin itself was excellently packaged although one of the beams for the apex had the end snapped off in transit. Given the construction this was just put on before the roof panels were nailed in place and not really a problem. The cabin was moved and constructed by me without any help in a day not including the roof tiles and went together like a dream, quite surprising just how easy it was to put together. The only issue was that the screws for the door frame had nowhere near enough length or grip to hold it all together so some slightly stronger screws were used as I couldnt be bothered to wait for the glue to set. The doors and windows went together easily as did the locking mechanism. The instructions were easy to follow although I did put the foundation beams down side on rather than end on so the inside lip of the door frame needed removing which I resized afterwards. The guides and help documents/website were crucial to read through before starting the build with some excellent advice like gaps and where not to screw and nail to ensure the cabin can expand/contract etc. Without these I would have definitely made a number of mistakes. The roof tiles were time consuming overall and took 2 people a good half a day to install over a breathable membrane but look good and provide a great looking roof now this is finished. There were enough to finish the whole roof with spares. The weather boards at the front were used on front and back and the packing boards on the bottom of the package were cut in half long ways to add a trip piece on top both front and back as I wasnt sure where the wood for this was. The overall cabin now built feels really sturdy and looks really great, just got to finish painting and adjust the guttering. Overall this is an excellent cabin, it feels bigger than it looks and fits perfectly on the base now complete. Expensive for a shed.yes, but cheaper than any of the other suppliers of cabins we researched online and looked at locally. Truth is it is so much more than a shed and well worth the money we paid for it.”
“quality cabin at a good price with excellent customer service, a 5mtr log was found to have been damaged this was replaced within 48hrs with no hesitation, great web site full of useful information.”
“After much research and deliberation I ordered a Rome cabin from Tuin. I paid extra for delivery on a flat-bed lorry due to the narrow lanes hereabouts. Delivery date/time was confirmed and the fork-lift had no trouble with our sloping gravel drive. I had expected a 5 metre long pallet as the longest cabin wal, was 5 m but the pallet was maybe a half meter longer due to the excellent protective packaging. It took me a good 1 1/2 hours to unpack and move the pieces to the build-site ( all of 12 metres away!). As recommended, I laid the pieces out alongside the slab adjacent to where they would be needed, with the doors, windows, roofing and 'odd bits' in the garage until needed. I had the concrete slab made to the exact footprint and laid a dpm on top of the foundation-beams (again following advise on the Tuin help pages). I made work for myself by mitre ing the corners for a smater look, next tie it will be square ends! The actual build of this single-room 5 x 4m cabin was around 5 hours with my teenage-son helping. That's roof on but no floor. 2" insulation and shingles took 4 hours the next day - it was a bitter cold day! Laying a dpm (as per ....) and 2" celotex-type insulation overlaid with 18mm osb took 2 hours next day. So far it has had a base coat of Sikkens and two top coats and is looking fantastic. I have reserved many compliments and declarations of 'shed-envy' - shed??? They were soon corrected, cabin-envy please. The build was as easy as Tuin say it can be. Yes the instructions are rather over-simplified, that's why Tuin recommend you watch the videos and read the blogs! My only small critics is that the barge-boaRd horozontal capping (shown for a different cabin in the video) is not supplied with the Rome. No big deal as I purchased the timber and fitted it myself as it does give a much neater finish to the shingle roof. Oh one other problem, this cabin was for my son to use as an office - now my wife wants another plus sauna+hot-tub!! It will be another Tuin cabin for sure!”
“We are absolutley made up with our recent purchase of this log cabin.We found Tuin very helpful with all our enquiries before hand.Delivery was smooth.We have insulated it and put electric to it and are now using it as a bedroom for our twentysomething son who refuses to leave home”
“Great cabin. Pros, brilliant company to deal with, easy to errect if you have basic DIY abilities. Cons, be prepared to make minor adjustments and add approx 200 to wood preservative costs. However, would I purchase from this company again? Definitely yes.”
