“I had been looking for a sizeable open-sided gazebo for a while and always seemed to return to the Tuin site. A good range of options with good-looking timber. I bought the Superior Gazebo to sit on my existing decking at the foot of my garden. It arrived well packed and the timbers were sound, with plenty of hardware. It took some time to measure the placement and squaring of the feet for the uprights - long work well worth the effort! I even had to lift, repair and add in additional support for the deck joists. All square and perpendicular!! The timbers are pre-cut but not always to length - be aware that you will have to trim and fiddle a bit, but there are spare lengths so you won't go short. Fixing the ridge beam was a pain and needs some thought. On that note, the instructions indicated a height of 2.9m but the online details were 3.2 m - causing a level of confusion to confirm all the fixings were correctly placed. They were and the height is 3.2m - not as stated in the paper instructions. The angles to the kingpin are pre-set but not always correct - be ready to fiddle a bit. The over-hangs of the rafters were not even so I had to trim the 4 corner supports - easy enough. The roofing does require thought and planning. I was working in a confined space and should have thought about the order of surfaces to roof - and whether to fix the shingles as I went along. I suggest that I should have built up the 2 ends and the back roof first (from the inside) putting on the shingles a s I went; leaving the front roof to build last, from the inside, from the top down. I have used a range of ladders and none of them really worked - I have had to employ a roofer to finish things off. The shingles are glass-fibre which is great for weather-proofing but really slippery, so working on the roof is tricky. All in all, this is a beautiful structure; good timber; properly designed and it went together well. I now have a roofed deck - 6x4m - and it looks great. Not the cheapest available, but very good value for money and that's what counts for me.”
“The delivery service was very good they dropped the pallet off 40 meters down the drive rather than beside the entrance gate. We had a slight issue with the roof trusses; the middle trusses appeared to have the bottom edges cut at a wrong angle. Also my joiner thought the number of trusses to be less than required; they would support the roof but maybe not a man on the roof to finalise the fitting of shingles. We had wood of the correct size so we added 4 more roof trusses and 8 1/2 trusses on the corners. Your help desk liked the additions it matches more like your square Gazebo which we had built earlier this year. The extra cost of the wood was only 30. Both Gazebos are excellent and very good value; all visitors have been impressed. Each took about 4 days to build a joiner and my assistance.”
“Very good service prompt delivery.very good product it looks great in my garden. Could do with some more instructions for self builders but did manage using internet”
“This is Avery good product, well made and thought out. Construction is straightforward as long as you get the legs square and plumb, I didnt buy the adjustable feet and in retrospect I should have as it would have been much quicker. The instructions are fairly useless as the print was coming of the paper so you need to take care before deciding which piece goes where. The sales staff are very helpful and the chap that delivers is an absolute star!, extremely helpful, so all in all, a very good experience and if I needed another, I would not hesitate to use this company again.”
“A refreshing pleasure to find a professional, reliable company providing excellent quality products. The support has been amazing throughout the transaction, delivery was excellent and the driver very accommodating managing to place the pallet exactly where required. The Gazebo is accurate and with basic DIY skills, not difficult to assemble. The online instruction is very helpful especially the comments about using common sense and just remember its just a timber construction. The shingles are easily laid but allow at least a full day if working alone. Very happy with the result, a beautiful building and excellent value.”
“Very happy with our gazebo, went together really well and the shingles set the roof off nicely. Found the on line videos really helpful when putting it together, defiyqill recommend you. Thanks once again”
