After looking at many cabins I decided to spend the extra money to get a good quality cabin, I have not regretted that decision, cabin was delivered swiftly within two weeks, I set the parts out and started building within a few hours I was halfway through the walls, the logs went together perfect. I had one log in the whole cabin with a slight warp but nothing to cause any issue, ha the window in upside down for a start, instruction wasnt so detailed on the window and doors but easy to figure out if I had looked at the way the hinges were I would recommend Tuin to anyone 5 stars

We purchased the Limas log cabin and myself and Dad put it up in a weekend (it took us 6 hours to level the floor with slivers as well). The cabins will take an element of DIY skill and I wouldnt say its for everyone but we were fine. From order to now Tuin have been almost faultless and have advised very well on where we may encounter difficulties. My advice to anyone buying is that the extra bit of money is totally worth it for the quality of the product. Read all of the blogs then read them again. You will encounter problems but the finished product is so good its all worth it. Tuin made one mistake where they sent the wrong colour wood stain, they immediately apologised and sent new ones out free of charge and told me to keep the others. You cant say fairer than that.

Four of us built this cabin in a day . Starting around 8.30 finishing at 4 . I fitted the shingles the following day . I LOVE OUR CABIN . The two friends that helped were so impressed with the price and quality of this cabin that they are now planning to buy one themselves . I would encourage anybody to build there own cabin as its great fun and you get a real sense of achievement. Thank you Tuin from a very happy customer .

Excellent experience from Tuin bought online at a fantastic price and delivered with no problems. Recommended to friends,family and neighbours very impressed with the quality and easy assemble. I spent time on using wood treatment and three coats of silkens stain in light oak to finish which took time to do but will be worth it in the long run. Well done to Tuin Team.

We're really pleased with the quality of our new log cabin. It's been hard work installing it (and it's still in progress!) but it looks lovely. Whenever we had any queries before purchase Tuin were really helpful. The pallet was delivered on time as promised and the insulation kit (supplied by a separate company) was delivered the following day, so everything was ready to begin work at the weekend. We read all the reviews beforehand and watched the installation videos. One of the tips we picked up was spending some time laying out out all the pieces when you unpack the pallet and this was well worth doing. (We'd bought a big tarpaulin to cover the pallet when delivered and also put this to good use for laying out the pieces). The main build took just over 2 days, installing the roof boards most of a day, and the roof insulation and shingles another day. The roof boards may have taken longer as we opted to use screws (not supplied) instead of nails. We still have the floor to do and also the painting. (Kind of wishing we'd looked into the options for factory treated wood as that's going to be a big job!) We haven't yet decided whether to install the cross pieces on the windows or leave them plain glass as they are on delivery and in the website pictures. All in all would definitely recommend this cabin, and Tuin as a company. Just be prepared that installing it isn't a quick weekend job. We'd allowed 4 days but it wasn't quite long enough for our particular installation.

To be honest I was a slightly dreading having to build the Lukas log cabin before it arrived as Im no handyman or builder. The blogs really helped put me at ease though as they are very thorough and clear. I had the base all set up waiting for the day of arrival and as per email I was contacted by the driver around 30 minutes before he turned up and I explained to him the nearest place he could park to unload as my house is in a very narrow road. 45 minutes later the entire kit is sitting in my driveway. So a cup of coffee later and after a quick check of the items delivered me and my friend got started with the build, by lunchtime walls were up and squared up and by the end of the day roof and doors on by the end of day 2 fully watertight and floor started. I would like to say that I had it finished that week but too be honest I keep adding or altering things. I must admit that it is probably the best thing Ive bought and the quality of build compared to a few of my friends cabins is night and day so 5 stars all round for quality, price, build ease, instructions and even customer care when I needed to replace a pane of glass. Quality rises to the top Tuin

I am really happy with this cabin - it looks good and the wood smells wonderful! Construction was fairly straightforward once we had sorted the logs into types, although we did have one or two glitches. We had to contact the out of hours team with a couple of queries, but the response was really helpful and mostly very fast. It made me wonder why TUIN didn't include clearer and fuller instructions with the kit as this would have been less frustrating and quicker! The delivery was super easy to arrange and went without a hitch. TUIN were an easy company to deal with, fair in all their dealings and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. However, I am fast discovering that the cost of the cabin is only the beginning...!
