Jos Corner Summer House 2.5 x 2.5m Reviews

Overall I am really pleased with the cabin, there are one or two things that could be improved but these are relatively minor or amusing, and I have had some very complimentary comments from neighbours, friends and family. Starting with the delivery, not sure if I misread or misinterpreted the way in which it would be delivered but the package of 3.3m could not be carried length ways and after a number of attempts to get up the steep drive it had to be left on the grass verge. Movement into the garage was not too arduous though, each piece being very manageable. Building took me and my 20 year old son 1 day, to get the structure up (without any arguments), which I then covered with a tarpaulin until I completed the roof shingles. Some of the instructions could be improved by clearly labelling which wall they related too, but as I say I feel that this is relatively minor and am overall very happy with the product look and quality and it was a great father/son experience to build something together.

I am very pleased with my purchase of the Jos Corner Log Cabin. All processes up to and including the delivery went very smoothly and the driver was very helpful. The technical information on your website is excellent and this has enabled me to construct the cabin, on my own, over the course of two days, with a minimum of fuss. My only remaining task is to fit the roof shingles when the weather improves. My neighbours have also followed the build with great interest and I will not be surprised to see one or two more cabins arriving in the area. An excellent product, competitively priced, very pleasing to the eye, and great service. Many Thanks..

Met all my expectations after reading reviews and watching videos etc. The delivery was on time and the driver very helpful. Unpacked components and checked them off against list - nothing missing. Spent a lot of time ensuring base was square and level, absolutely essential and well worth the effort. Cabin erected in half day with window and door frames fitted. The windows and door were not fitted into the frames and there were no specific instructions on how to do it - took a little time to decipher. Roof took another half day to fit. Shingles took me another full day but worth the time and effort. Fitted a wooden floor of the same very high quality and it looks great. Just need to be told what colour it is to be painted and it will be complete. Great product exceptional value for money.

Really pleased with how with how well it has gone together. Was a bit overwhelmed when I unpacked all the pieces, but sorted it out into relevant piles according to length etc and labelled them all. Just need to finish the last quarter of the roof and decide on flooring and finish painting and I am ready to enjoy it as a lovely summer house. Found the videos hints and tips on your website really helpful. P.S. my husband helped me with the heavy bits of the build we are no spring chickens so we think anyone could manage the build.

Have now built Jos Cabin. Very pleased with this product. Am now in process of fitting shingles which is quite slow as never done anything similar before. Still have to treat with wood finish product. Excellent product and very good back-up from Tuin!

Over all the product is not to bad but I have some issues with the construction detail sheet. Firstly there is nothing showing what size the cill needs to be to on the diagonal door section. All a bit trial and error. The door hinges are another problem. They have been let in to deep which makes the door Hingebound and have to be packed out so not to bind on the hinge side Now it is all painted it looks good.

Delivered from Holland by a lovely smiley guy called Steve who actually had clogs on! I was erected by John Heard who did a fab job. We are so pleased with our corner summer house. Thank you ! Diane & James

This is an excellent product which is very well made and self build is well explained in the instructions provided. I had no problems in construction - where there were queries these were answered by the on line comments and videos. My only complaint is that Tuin are out of stock of the green Carefree product- which is my intended finish. I am hoping this is replenished soon
