“Purchased a Blackpool log cabin,which arrived on schedule.Slight damage found but soon replaced. Good instructions generally in paper instruction and on line, except for door & windows guidance which was poor. Tuin then sent extra details. The cabin design & construction quality excellent. Not yet completed assembly but so far so good.”
“This log cabin is exactly what I wanted and expected having researched various others. It is fantastically sturdy and tough and was erected pretty quickly as it is very simply made. It took maybe two or three days to complete. I am really pleased with this and would recommend it wholeheartedly. The communication with the Tuin team was excellent, they responded rapidly and were very helpful indeed.”
“After much research, we decided on purchasing the Blackpool log cabin from Tuin. Ordering was very easy and efficient, including extras such as plywood, woodstain and felt glue. Delivery was very well informed and arranged as stated on the delivery instructions. The young Dutch delivery driver was very experienced and quick to unload, leaving the package exactly where we wanted it. Erecting the cabin was easy and fun and it all went together extremely well. It took my husband and I a full Saturday in July to get the cabin up, including the T&G roof. We decided to insulate the roof for all year round use which took another day. Since then we have also insulated the floor and painted the whole cabin with 3 coats of Carefree Protectant. The only issues my husband had were with the instructions, which could have been clearer for people who are undertaking a first time log cabin assembly. Overall, we are extremely pleased with our cabin, which has given us a lovely place to relax. Tuin made the whole buying process extremely easy and straight forward, particularly with the wealth of advice and information available on the website. As advised, we took great care to ensure that our base was exactly level and square, which was crucial to a successful and straight forward build. After viewing log cabins from other retailers, we would definitely recommend buying from Tuin.”
“Purchased the Blackpool log cabin after a lot of research with different companies. Decided on TUIN and so glad we did. From the initial order everything went so smoothly, the delivery, the expert advice, and the excellent quality made it a pleasure to build. Would highly recommend TUIN and would definitely purchase from them again. The craftsmanship and the ease that it was assembled was incredible. Cannot find anything negative to say at all. Whole experience a 10/10. Cabin looks beautiful in the garden and is a stunning addition offering the extra living/entertaining space we needed. Thank you TUIN.”
“It took me ages to decide where to get my log cabin from but I was very pleased that I chose Tuin. Several things impressed me. The quality of the wood was excellent and now that I have built the cabin I know it will last many years; and add value to my home! The staff at Tuin were also very professional and were always on hand to answer my many questions. I found the instructions that came with the large pallets of wood very difficult to understand. Understanding what each piece of wood was to be used for and separating them all must have taken most of the first day. Putting the cabin together was like a huge jig saw puzzle, but the videos and general information provided by Tuin on their web site helped me enormously. I also found answers on YouTube. But most of the answers where given via e-mail. I took lots of photos of things I didn't understand. E-mailed them to Tuin and received good advice; regardless of how basic the question was! The whole project took me about 2 weeks. Mainly because I did all the work myself, apart from when I had to get help carrying the very heavy parts such as e.g. the window. I also added a patio which took about another week. Be aware of extra costs though. I must have spent about 500 extra paying for such things as the log cabin foundation, the patio slabs and essentials such as wood stain for the cabin. I also have yet to buy extras such as furniture for the inside of the cabin. Extremely pleased overall however; and would certainly recommend Tuin!”
“Love this cabin! Mine has been up almost a year and looks amazing. Local contractors put it up within a couple of days. Very good quality, spacious, solid and watertight. Delivery went smoothly. Loads of advice on website on construction and maintenance- very very helpful and very worth the time to make it last for years to come.”
“Received my Blackpool cabin, the driver unloaded fine with no issues bar holding up the traffic whilst unloading.Over the next few days I unpacked and checked all was ok. I'd probably like better documentation and labelling of all the pieces as it wasn't initially clear what all pieces were for, especially for the door frame. On erecting the cabin we had a few bowed lengths. We contacted support who quickly replied and advised to stick them half way in the walls and the weight would eventually bring them back in - which it did! The build was very quick - apart from the roof which seemed to take an age. Decided to insulate roof and OSB board over the top before putting shingles on as wasn't convinced about putting lots of long nails through the expensive celotex. Had no real issues in its first winter, all the tiles have even stayed in place during the strong winds. I'd say only negatives are around the door and windows - the quality doesn't quite feel the same. Window frame in particular feels like an afterthought with nails just hammered in and not looking as nice as it could be.”
“received my cabin kit - was worried about the driver getting it down our lane - should have known better..Brilliantly done and no hassle at all. on un packing I was really impressed with the quality of the timber and the machining. way better than anything else I've seen. Having sorted out the base (by far the worst part of the job), the cabin went up in no time. It was an absolute pleasure to construct and everything went together beautifully. I did have one or two minor problems but they were of my own making and not due to the kit. The end result is fantastic and we're over the moon with it. I did make the most of the plethora of advice on the website - a real mine of useful information and worth taking the time to work through before committing to your purchase. I researched for months before deciding that Tuin was our best choice and we haven't been disappointed. Sound practical advice and quality product. Cant ask for more - All we want to do now is enjoy it and having insulation both the floor and the roof, we'll be using it all year round. If I had one minor gripe it would be the quality of the floor boards of which I had to discard a few due to defects, but there was more than enough to do the job and at the end of the day - they're floor boards. I would recommend Tuin to anyone thinking of getting a log cabin.”
