“i will review this product from a builders point of view, overall the main framework is generally good however the roof construction in my opinion is not fit for purpose, there is no strength in it at all , not enough rafters, boards are not tongue & groove. i had to put extra supports in myself . bear in mind that you have to climb on roof to felt it i actually thought i was going to go thru it, so my opinion to manufacturers would be to redesign roof with extra supports & t & g boards it was cheaper than a rival company which i have purchased from before & im sorry to say tuin that next time i will be going back to other just my opinion”
“Excellent service, easy to order, delivery very efficient. Delighted with quality and how east to erect, all pieces present and smart appearance when finished.”
“We bought a Tuin Samos Larch Gazebo. Would certainly recommend the larch over other woods as finish is superb. Tuin website is fantastic for "how to" installation instructions and if correctly set out everything just drops into place, need a few tweaks to make roof perfect but that's just me! Now considering adding side kits and handrails for aesthetic effect. Overall we feel we made a very good choice and will post pictures once complete.”
“We recently purchased this gazebo and built it ourselves. The instructions that come with it are rather basic but coupled with the advice on the website it is easy enough to do although it's best not to hurry it. I found all communication to be very quick and helpful. The end result is a lovely looking gazebo that has had great feedback from friends and neighbours.”
“Really pleased with this gazebo. Good quality materials and service all around. Tips for others would include: 1) Watch and read the videos/blogs for assembly on the website (the instructions provided are pretty basic diagrams which don't give enough detail and are small. 2) Be systematic and take your time. I managed to assemble it on my own but it took 3-4 weekends. 3) Good idea to buy some glue for the roof shingles just to add extra adhesion, as in some places on the hip ridges/roof ridge the nails provided won't quite be long enough to reach the wood. 4) If not assembling immediately, store your wood somewhere dry and flat to prevent it warping in rain/sun.”
“We did have to wait a while to receive our Gazebo, mainly due to the pandemic, however we were determined to receive this wonderful product at the price given we were very happy to wait. On the day it arrived it came on a pallet, with good instruction book. I had close friend help me build it in my back garden which took us a leisurely three days to complete.. Since then we have many happy days in it with family and friends. We also got some larch from our local timber merchant and built a bar on one of the ends ( see pictures ) To conclude extremely happy with is product; I have recommended this to all who have had the pleasure of sitting in it.

“I don't really do reviews, but I just thought this product - a Samos larch gazebo, and the business - Tuin, are great, and I wanted to say 'thank you'. I bought from Tuin because of the guidance provided on the website, featuring Richard. It was clear, fun and confidence inspiring. Our next interaction was with the delivery driver who had done his homework on our location (a bit tricky), rang us in advance to confirm details and placed the pallet just where we asked. Then the gazebo itself was a delight to construct. Forewarned by Richard I thought I might have to get a saw out in the latter stages, but no, everything fitted together perfectly. We have been using the gazebo for a couple of months now and it is a great place to work, eat and meet friends. Our thanks to the people at Tuin.”
