We took some considerable time in searching and evaluating the building for our project. The delivery was made yesterday and the Dutch driver was very helpful and professional bearing in mind our rural village location and the associated traffic issues. Having in packed and moved and stacked the components I'm so far impressed with the quality of the product. I have studied the instructions and component list and feel confident that the erection and Build will be fairly straightforward. My only comment at this stage is that perhaps it would aid construction if the parts could be labelled somewhere to speed up installation, although I recognise that the Jutka is possibly a little more involved and awkward than other models. I will update my review once I have erected the building this coming weekend.

Excellent product fits together so easily. Well engineered. Providing you have a level and square base it is great. Would definitely recommend anyone purchasing product. Great value for money excellent product and efficient delivery. 10 out of 10

The cabin arrived in a large well packed bundle and it took quite a while to lay out all the pieces to allow assembly. The instructions are a little sketchy and there was a lot of head scratching involved during the assembly process. Overall the quality was very high and everything fitted well. A couple of niggles were that it wasn't very obvious that the square pegs were for the round holes! The reference here is to the square dowels that need hammering into the round holes in the wall logs to pin them together. Also during the assembly process the laying out and subsequent cutting of the roof and supporting beam to fit the front facia really needs some explanation to make sure that the bevels are contently accounted for. The facia boards themselves are really the only let down in the entire pack. The cabin seems to be made wholly of spruce but for some reason OSB has been included in the fascias holding the T&G boards together. This stuff turns to mush in the presence of water and the rear fascia which forms an 'escape' for the water from the sloped roof looks like it will last for no more than a few months. I would highly recommend that this design decision is re-visited and the OSB replaced with solid timber. I will install as supplied but will thoroughly paint and wrap with the easy roofing product. All in all a positive experience and I would be happy to purchase another cabin from this company

I cannot rate Tuin highly enough! The Jutka cabin was ideal for the corner of our garden and after much research and deliberation we placed our order with Tuin. The entire order process was very smooth and a full set of plans was sent prior to the cabin delivery - as a complete diy'er this gave me sufficient time to familiarize myself with the parts prior to delivery. On delivery day, my Pallet was delivered to my drive (all 6m in length!) by a very friendly and helpful delivery driver. Two days later I had single handedly erected the cabin including roof covering. This cabin was an absolute joy to build, I am convinced this was down to the quality of the logs and the machining of the joints. I would (and indeed have!) recommend Tuin to anybody thinking about purchasing a log cabin...

This summerhouse comes in a thousand pieces and the instructions are absolutely rubbish. We spent several days trying to fafham the instructions out and after many calls of complains to Tiun they finally sent out an engineer Wayne. Wayne was very helpful and then corrected a peice of wood that had been supplied as cut wrong! Wayne was helpful but Richard was not. He just replied to emails and refused to answer the phone to us. He emailed back with comments like "the instructions are used europewide and others cope" and "read the instructions". Richard also confused things further by sending a second set of instructions which contradicted the first supplied set. If Wayne had not been sent to sort this house then we would have demanded our money back and for Tuin clear out site of their giant Jango firewood. So with the combination of crap instructions and the summerhouse coming in thousands of unmarked pieces of wood I cannot advise you strongly enough to go elsewhere for a summerhouse than buy anything from this company.

Absolutely great. The info on the website is fenomenal and a must read and watch. Delivery as planned and after bringing everything back in the garden we started with the foundation beams amd first layer. We built it up to 3 layers, checked all angles and it was so easy after that. Within a few hours we were close to roof level. Next day started with the windows, all easy fit. The wAlls leaned back a bit, but as it said once the top beams are put in it all comes together nicely. Ok the final part was a bit of a puzzle as the roof is flat but sloping. Putting in the roof was perfect fit as well. End with the EPDM. That appears a bit scary as the surface is huge. I bought some addional evo-stik flashband amd used sealant to get it waterproof as can be. Now the painting can begin..... A big thank you for a great product, easy instructions and good service over the phone.
