“I am delighted with the quality of the Lulea log cabin.I was delighted with the service from Tuin from ordering to delivery, the staff were extremely helpful and delivered a 1st class service.I would highly recommend Tuin to anyone looking for a cabin or shed, their prices are fantastic and the quality of cabins are excellent, so much so I am hoping to order another one in the near future.The delivery driver was absolutely amazing and very well equipped. I highly recommend Tuin for your Logcabin, you will not be disappointed.”
“Generally good, Delivery good,one long section was faulty,had been machined wrongly. My only real criticism is that the top log on each of the sides has tounge and groove profile cut in it, meaning that the roof boards don't fit too well. It would be better planed down at the roof angle. However, the price is good so highly recommended.”
“Log cabin was delivered on time with a good service. Was easy to put up after a few YouTube videos. The instructions could have been a little clearer. Very happy with the purchase”
“I purchased my cabin 12 months ago and wanted to see how good the product was before leaving a review. Very pleased with all aspects from the quality of timber construction to after sales service, Delivery was perfect and went exactly as described. I went for the shingles and they do make a real difference to the look of the finished product but they do take longer to install compared with a felt. I cannot stress enough that if you take time to read all the information that TUIN provide both the website and the paper instructions not once but twice and watch the videos on U tube the construction will be easy and a enjoyable experience.”
“Fantastic service from ordering to delivery, the cabin is absolutely brilliant, fantastic quality, it went up in the afternoon with no problems at all, 100% happy with everything, thanks tuin.”
“Would I recommend this cabin? Most certainly yes. For the price, I feel I have something of very good quality. Delivery was excellent and pain free. There was very little damage to the wooden parts, only the odd little scrape here and there and no missing parts. In fact they included a spare additional plank, the longest in the kit. I assume this is if there are any breakages, I could have cut my own replacement without needing to wait for one to be shipped. It took me and a helper four days in total to complete, working approx. 8 hours a day. We took our time, and made sure everything we were doing was as good as it could be. If we had rushed, I think two days (for someone who's never built one before) is doable. This is assuming the base is pre-made and does not include painting or fitting out inside. Instructions could have been a lot clearer, there are parts such as the upper gable end roof trims which weren't even mentioned or numbered on the drawings and slight confusion on which way was up on the side window for example. Things like that really slowed us down as we had to keep consulting different videos and guides. I can't really fault the quality, other than the gable ends. I found the purlins sat too low in relation to the gable ends, one or the other had their slots cut too deep. This meant when running the roof boards along the purlins they would have had to step up about 10mm over the gable ends causing humps in the roof and gaps. We had to plane the walls down to match the height of the purlins. A bit of a faff we didn't expect. You will need wood glue for the door frame and also a pack of screws. Would have been a lot nicer if these were just included, considering everything else was. You will have plenty of roofing and clout nails left over, and we had 1 and a bit roofing shingle packs unused. We used some of the packing / pallet beams to run under along the roof behind the facia so we didn't have to nail the facia into the ends of the roofing boards and make things a little more secure for some guttering I will fit at a later date. It was quite difficult working close (0.5m) to a fence, so give yourself plenty of room if you can. I used two trestles set to about facia height for climbing on and off the roof. Easier than trying to balance on a ladder leant up the side, with no risk of damaging the edge of the roof. I also used them inside for putting the roofing boards on, which was easier than sitting on the roof.”
“Absolutely brilliant value for money. Delivery driver was very helpful. My brother is a joiner and has put up the cabin and said it was the best quality and the best hes ever built . Definitely recommend Tuin as a top quality company”
“Spent a while trying to decide which cabin to purchase but finally settled on this one. Was a bit unsure as there was so much information within the Tuin site to read which was a little daunting to be honest and i've built many things over the years, but never a cabin. Placed the order and a week before my planned delivery I had a lovely call from the lady that Tuin use for their deliveries. Driver was absolutely brilliant, called in advance, parked away down the road then used his moffat forklift as a sideloader to drive up the streets and positioned right where I needed. I would say getting the base right was the hardest part. to support the cabin perimeter I went for the base pads for mm perfect levelling to support laminated CLA timbers held together with coach bolts. So much easy than levelling concrete. The cabin walls flew up. It took longer to assemble the framing around the window and slot into position than it did to put the walls together. The instructions for the window weren't very good but we got there. Everything slotted together really well, nice snug fits, great quality logs and I only had a couple of slight twists which straightened out nicely with a G clamp to lever them round and get them into position and locked in. Door hinges were a little tricky so be sure to square the frame. Don't underestimate the time to complete. I spent 9 days doing mine but also built an insulated floor and roof too. I spent ages trying to pick wood treatment and paint as Tuin only let you buy a minimum of two of the same colour. I ordered elsewhere as the phone lines were closed and was waiting days for answers to mails (due to covid affecting their office only). I treated inside and out with 15L of Barretine wood preserver which was two coats, then two coats of Sadolin classic All purpose woodstain (Northern Pike) followed by two coats of Sadolin extra durable woodstain Northern Pike and am really pleased with the quality of these for coverage. I also had the free shingles offer and these were amazing. I also stuck them down around the edges with some bitumen sealant which really does work well to cater for the the Scottish weather!! Overall, great service, even with covid, from the team at Tuin and their hauliers. Had a wonderful time building the cabin come home office and really chuffed with the end result. The neighbours are envious with their converted sheds! it's great to sit outdoors on the many Zoom calls with the double doors open. Well recommended.”
