“Great product. Driver was efficient in delivery and caring was well packaged. It took approx four days to erect and paint, and was fairly intuative on what to do. Would advise looking at the videos before starting as this gave good tips. Using as a garden small office and it provides plenty of room.”
“The Jos Cabin is just as good as it looks really well built quite simple to put up, I managed it in about 3 days as the roof was time consuming. The instructions could have been better but Im quite a good DIY person. I used a jig saw to cut all the roof tiles to size but apart from the odd mistake on my part it went up easy and looks great.”
“My research for a log cabin was extensive and I finally decided on Tuin. I am very pleased I did as the process from ordering to delivery and assembly today by Philip Osorio has been quite seamless. He did a great job. We still have to treat and complete all the final touches but I am more than pleased. Would certainly recommend both the company and Philip.”
“We are 3 years from ordering and our cabin is as much part of our lives as the shower. Still looks fantastic, still standing, still a fun place to go to get away from the phone in the house. The shingles look new, the inside still smells of wood (not surprising but you know what I mean). If I had a bigger garden I would buy another.”
“Tuin was recommend to me by my friend who is a joiner. I had looked at various options including buying the timber myself.which on costing would have cost more that the Summer House itself. I made my order, the Summer House arrived very well packed and with all the instructions. My friend arrived and we started to build the Cabin. The most important tips I I can give are 1 Make sure the base is set right and level 2 Two people are required 3 Take your time and follow the instructions you wont go wrong. It was simple and easy to erect the quality was first class. It took two half days to finish of that of course included loads of brews stops for dinners etc. My mate who is a fussy joiner was well impressed with the quality, how easy it was to assemble and the cost. So if you want quality at a good price I would highly recommend Tuin.”
“Definitely five stars for this company, arrangement and organisation, especially the delivery driver Malcolm. I have not opened the package yet having been away. The driver persevered despite the drop being quite difficult with good humour and "can do" attitude. First class.”
“The delivery was excellent with pleasant, sociable driver, as straight to the door as possible. Im a 75 year old woman and with my husband we unpacked and categorised the various pieces. As it was my project, I wanted to do as much of it as possible. We laid out the plans to identify the pieces. The concrete base had been laid by a professional builder. Although the composite foundation beams were warped, I managed to get it levelled with diagonals being 2mm out, (good enough for Government work!) then severe rain stopped play! All corners were squared, first planks in and drilled to the foundation, then the cabin went up very quickly. Putting the 002 boards up, thought Id made a mistake, because I had a 002 left over, but realised no mistake, the other one was to go above the window. When I was building (with a little help) I found a large gap appeared. When the rest were put on, the gap disappeared! There were one or two problems inserting the canopy parts. above the door space, but used G-clamps to help. The roof boards - I had to ask for help they were extremely heavy. Roof boards now on... but as I would be using the cabin as a craft room, I put a rubber membrane on, and insulation board which we nailed down, and then the shingle roof. The heavy rain came back to test the roof...no leaks. Still to fit the window catches (hence the gaffer tape on the frames). We bought floor boarding and cut it to size, then nail-gunned down the easiest part of the job! We had a qualified electrician to put install sockets and a light. After all the painting has been done weather-permitting I will settle in to my cosy cabin and get on with my craftwork. This was a really interesting and straightforward, but challenging exercise which I would recommend even at my age!”
“My son, son-in-law and I erected the Jos over 3 days. It's a bit daunting when you open the kit - so many bits, a lot of it packing. (Would be helpful to label pieces or mark packing wood?) However, once it was all laid out, it became clearer, and putting it together was easier than expected. The roof was the only bit that caused any problems, but that was probably due to lack of skill. We haven't tackled the shingles yet I had seen a Tuin summerhouse at a friend's house, so knew that they were good quality. I'm very pleased with the Jos and look forward to having a lot of fun in it with my grandchildren.”
