“Delighted with the cabin, As we are on the Isle of Harris in the Western Isles we did not think we would be able to buy this cabin, Tuin staff very helpful in getting cabin delivered to our courier in Inverness who transported it home for us, I cannot wait to get it kitted out inside to use as my workspace for my small business Island Stitches. Thank you.”
“I'm really impressed with this log cabin and Tuin as a company. Looking for a building to use as a workshop I deliberated for some time between this and a sturdy shed. It turns out a sturdy shed would have cost as much if not more and I fancied the challenge of a new building method and liked the look of this cabin with its extended roof. The instructions supplied are a bit minimal but Richards blog provides good advice and do watch the videos. Assembly is actually pretty straight forward anyway. It took about half a day to build the main frame with just help only at the high parts. The roof and shingles took just over a day working alone but with someone passing the shingles up to me. They supply plenty of nails (for the roof you dont need them for the walls), plenty of shingles spare roof boards and even a spare log. After sales service is excellent; Richard and Ben are really helpful via e-mail.”
“Excellent product, much better quality than what I thought. Not too hard to erect with some guidance with the online video as instructions enclosed not very good . Overall very pleased with my log cabin”
“I am very pleased with the log cabin so far, although it is not quite finished yet. The ordering process was slick & the delivery was made exactly when requested. The delivery driver was excellent even though he had to park on a main road with the added complication of temporary traffic lights right outside the house. The package was complete on the pallet and took a couple of hours to unpack & sort. Most of the pieces had numbered labels, though all the 8's were labelled as 7's which was slightly confusing. Construction proved to be exactly as described on the website - the supplied manual was a bit too brief. Definitely read all the guidance before you start building & don't be daunted by the big pile of pieces - it all works out in the end! Squaring the base is key. Mildly annoying was the use of torx headed screws for the door frame (which you have to screw together yourself), but I did manage to borrow the right bit from a friend - Phillips screws would have been more user friendly! Total build time for the frame was about 6 hours, the roof boards took another 6 & the roof shingles took a day - but they look great & well worth the effort. Materials quality is excellent and all the pieces lined up perfectly. The centre roof beam was slightly warped which made attaching the roof boards in a straight line a bit of a challenge. Technical help from Tuin UK was excellent. I called 3 times (once before ordering & twice with build queries) and answers were always forthcoming. They even managed to supply some new roof trims as the ones supplied were a mixture of lengths & looked odd (phoned on Friday - delivered the next Tuesday). Currently undertaking the treatment process - all the fascia's & trims on both sides before fixing them on & that's probably the most time consuming thing of all.”
“In a word, brilliant. The delivery was positioned with thought however we had our doubts as where all the components were there!! They were. Amazing product and will recommend your products to anyone.”
“Very pleased with the service and quality of product. The technical assistance was very good and the after sales service excellent. Highly recommend without question.”
“Very pleased with Lulea 3x4 log cabin. Although I am a carpenter and could have installed it myself I was unable to due to a fractured shoulder, my son and grandson offered to help and in five hours they erected it leaving just the shingle roof left to do. All I had to do was supervise! The plans were easy to follow and the quality of the wood is excellent. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone thinking of purchasing one”
“Very well prepared timber requiring no additional cutting, smothing, sanding or forcing during construction. Assembly was simple and quick taking two easy days for just myself. Lots of confidence in the product so am ordering another.”
