I thoroughly enjoyed putting together Jos Cabin and was very impressed with the support videos which helped tremendously. All materials supplied were in good condition and there was never a shortage of timber or shingles. I would like to send you a picture of the completed cabin which has been painted. We are now the envy of the neighbours with their flat felted roof summerhouses. Many Thanks Malcolm Smith

Absolutely delighted with our corner cabin. Everything Tuin offer from order through to after sales has been a pleasure. Credit to all from packaging, delivery and all your hard working team behind the scene. You have an excellent product, great range of various cabins and very reasonably priced. The Jos cabin we received has been well admired and enjoyable to construct. My best advice when considering which size or design to choose - consider the size of build in relation to garden space, too big looks too overpowering. I see too many buildings being shoved into corners to maximise space yet give no thought to the required regular preserving. Spend time ensuring a level base and let Tuin supply you a garden space that will be enjoyed for many years.

We feel very lucky to have come across Tuin on the internet when searching for log cabins. From placing the order, which was extremely easy to delivery and assembling the cabin it went so well. We decided to buy Jos corner log cabin 2.5 x 2.5m. We arranged to have a base put down following the dimensions on the website, which was exactly right. The cabin was delivered as promised and the delivery man couldn't have been more helpful. My husband and I constructed the cabin we are both retired in our 60's and it took us 4 days. We had our son's help with the roof and shingles. We took a further 2 days painting the cabin, and we are having electricity put in the cabin this weekend. We feel a great deal of satisfaction looking at our cabin, we are enjoying the cabin which looks lovely, and so are our grandchildren. The product fitted together so well and we had very few problems, all solved easily over a cup of tea. We highly recommend Tuin Log Cabins and look forward to enjoying the cabin for many years to come.

This was bought for my son to have his own outdoor cabin, but it will grow with him/us into adulthood. Ordering was straight forward & delivery company were very helpful. We built the cabin ourselves - having never done anything like this we were wary, but as tuin continually say just trust the instructions, take it step by step and go for it! We were a bit confused about the door frame, contacted tuin and got an immediate response - sorted! We had to contact them a couple of times and each time the response was fab/ very helpful and never were we made feel like a nuisance. It took us 3 days to complete and what a sense of achievement! I would and do recommend tuin. We also ordered a gazebo which we will build next week and are hoping the build goes as well!!

I've just finished building my Jos corner log cabin and it's been great fun. Everything fitted as it should and it looks great. I can't praise Tuin enough for the information and videos which are available to help you through the process. Also the encouragement within the information to give it a go. I just wish I had space for another cabin. I'd build another tomorrow.

Looks stunning built and is brilliant quality. I struggled with the door frame. The instructions I would rate as poor for the door assembly as they are not item specific for this cabin. They do not help with the door sill and corner above the door. I did get help from Tuin when I emailed them ( by the way the call back was instant! - thanks) The door frame is difficult on this cabin due to the door being at an angle - meeting on the corner. I got there in the end and prior to building the adjoining sides I suggest build the door and frame. So you know its all straight. Then you can detach the door from the frame and slide this onto the two walls. This would have helped me greatly. But I think a video from tuin would really help with the assembly of the door frame with the triangular area above the door. Backtracking the delivery was very good with the friendly driver helping me even move some to the rear of my house- I think supplying tea helped! Loads of spare wood! So impressed with everything from Tuin Many thanks

I purchased the Jos Corner Log Cabin from Tuin. The whole process was an absolutely delight. I purchased the log cabin in 09/17, and deliberated waited for few months to ensure that everything is good before writing this review. First of all, the price of the product is excellent. For a similar product elsewhere, it would have cost me quite a few hundred pounds, but with no better quality. The wood quality was excellent. All the joints were perfect fit. There was not a single part of the product that I felt was not right. I purchased the Carefree Protectant from Tuin as well. Because of how my log cabin was going to sit, I decided to coat the 2 back panels with the protectant first before putting it up. It was hardwork, but I believe that it was worth it. I found some of the tips and video extremely useful with the website. I was planning to build this summerhouse as a back office at my house. I was planning to put up a twin wall all round the log cabin. It was absolutely vital to go through some of the insulation blogs for the roof and floor insulation. The blog "Dealing with Expansion / Contraction in Log Cabins" was most useful in explaining how to leave expansion slat in batton for the inner wall. Most builders would not have any experience in this. Certainly this will cause problems in the future. For some reasons, there were 2 gaps in the side panel of the wall. They were not bad, and were hardly noticeable. I made some contacts with Tuin on an out-of-hour support on Saturday or Sunday. First, I was surprised that there were replies. Secondly, they were extremely helpful. Certainly they have a lot of experience in dealing with log cabins. I cannot fault Tuin at all. They were top class in every level. The quality of the cabin was excellent. This really stand out from the other supplier. It had been 4 months now, and my cabin is still standing up nicely. It has been serving us very well too.
