“After looking around for a summerhouse and being put off by the cheap and fragile look of the majority, I found "TUIN". I spent days navigating the website,reading reviews,technical details and blog entries,I was convinced these were superior quality and so I ordered the JOS corner summerhouse. Delivery was chosen by me and gave me time to construct the base. After unpacking all the component pieces and stacking them ready to build, I was again struck by the quality of timber.Buildingcwas fairly straight forward once the first four or five logs were up and squared off.The roof was a bit more tricky being by myself. Once the rafters were in and squared I needed to call for assistance to get the roof panels in place.Once on and adjusted the fun could start with the shingles . Having never done shingles before I was a little anxious,however the "blog" videos on the TUIN website were invaluable. I found if I laid them out on the ground first ,I could visualise the pattern. Once started they flew on with a few nails and glue should last for years. So far very pleased with purchase. Just need to sort the inner floor.”
“The Jos cabin 28mm is a solid well made timber building and worth every penny spent, The delivery was hassle free even though I live in a cul de sac Like some of the other reviews you need to see the online videos and read the plan a few times, what would make the build start a lot more straight forward would be to number or a letter on each piece as well as the drawing (plan). saying that its only took 3 days to complete (plus the odd downpour) and I treated the sides first that are up against the fence panels the finished cabin really looks the part we are well pleased Tuin as a company and would not hesitate to recommend to family and friends”
“After a lot of research, and based on the good reviews of Tuin as a company, we opted to purchase the Jos corner log cabin. Ordering was straight forward and at this point we booked our delivery slot. Delivery of the cabin was confirmed the week before by phone and on the day the driver called about half an hour before delivery. (He was extremely helpful.) The cabin came well packaged and as we unpacked we ticked everything off on the accompanying documents. This is worth doing just to get your head around all the parts and where they go! Then the build... this is fairly self explanatory for most of the build. However, the reason for the four stars is that instructions could definitely have been better/clearer. We relied heavily on the videos posted to check that we were doing everything correctly, especially the door section and the roof. (And again when we put the self adhesive shingles on) Also on one of the opening windows the holes for the top fixings were not in line and have made the window very difficult to centralise, even after adjustments. We have made amendments to allow for guttering, which we purchased separately. Overall we are extremely pleased with all aspects of our purchase. We will post photos on the other review sites. Thank you! We look forward to using it now.”
“So, so impressed with this. The order process was perfect, and I was kept well informed along the way. Delivery was all as promised and nicely done. The cabin was well packaged with lots of nice touches to keep it from being damaged. I did a little research using the resources on the website so I was ready to do the build when it arrived. I spent a long time making sure we were all square and level which I think paid off as the rest of it flew up and I'm really pleased with the end result. The quality of the cabin shines through, I can see it is going to bring a lot of pleasure! Thanks Tuin, great all round.”
“Service was faultless. The summerhouse was delivered on time (in fact one day earlier than the stated 2 month lead time). The driver was helpful and it was very well packed and protected. The quality is excellent. So much better than the similar sized sheds advertised at half the price. You definitely get what you pay for. I painted mine before erection to ensure I| didn't miss anything. Actual assembly was quite straightforward and didn't involve much head scratching. The only time I needed help was to put the roof sections on as they are too heavy for one person alone. Overall, I am very happy with the finished result. It exudes quality. Don't hesitate if you are thinking of getting one.”
“I was worried about the delivery of the Jos cabin as we live in a small village which doesn't allow HGVs and access to a suitable place to leave the package was tight, but the haulage company were superb. Instructions for starting the base (and fitting the door frame) were confusing, but Tuin videos on Youtube were much more useful than the paper versions and made more sense so do check those out. I also measured my base exactly but as I'd ordered profiled foundations I didn't realise these were wider than the basic foundation beams. After the first few rows were fitted though the cabin went up in no time and very rarely with the need for a mallet - all logs were very well cut. Fitting the pyramid roof was not easy - you think you've got the first piece in the right place but come the final piece you realise you need to make adjustments. All hidden by the great shingles though. I am delighted with the quality of the build and it feels a really solid shed - so different from the panel shiplap shed that it replaced. I just hope that Tuin can now update their instructions so that others don't have the same confusion I had in certain places.”
“Delivery was excellent, arrived a day early after call from carrier said they could if we wanted! Well packaged with instructions (which could be a bit clearer to be honest). Once the base timber was laid it was very straightforward to construct. Had to email about the triangle price above the door as I had put the top logs on before fitting it but easily resolved due to swift reply from customer service. The black shingle roof looks great. Very happy with the finished cabin it's great quality. Would recommend to others, but do watch all the construction videos and read the tutorials as they have a wealth of information. Many thanks Tuin Jim Sayers”
“Brought the jos corner cabin after lots of research and review reading. Installed by recommended fitter and absolutely love it! Fitted out as a bar and although small the space is very deceiving! The food shingles look fantastic and although weve had very heavy rain no leaks whatsoever! Just put on some guttering to prevent any splash backs onto the logs and I reckon itll last a good few years. Slight bowing on door but Tuin have sent some turnbuckles to help sort that out! Delivery was also brilliant! Would definitely recommend.”
