“From order to delivery through to construction has been exceptionally smooth. Even though my house is at the bottom of a slope, the delivery driver was excellent and managed to drop the two pallets outside my workshop. Although never having constructed something like this, I found the illustrated guidance easy to follow and never once got near to using the helpline. We are now fitting out the inside using celotex and cladding. We have put in electrics, including some outside led lighting to increase lighting to the garden. Although being aware of the size, when built, it is a substantial size and will create a descent living space. It was very satisfying when inserting the walls that they fitted exactly at the end of the flooring. Showing that the claim that the product is exact with little tolerance. Just keep everything square and flat. Massively pleased with the product, service and delivery.”
“I received the Shepherds hut in the time frame advised by Tuin. The delivery man was very helpful and set the kit exactly where I wanted it. I unpacked the parts into my garage checking them off against the list provided. They were all there and in good order, nothing damaged. The parts are well made and good quality timber has been used. As my carpenter will not be available until mid March I have started to paint the outside, weather permitting(Max 80% humidity and 8 degrees celsius) So far very pleased with the product. I intend to write a further review once the hut is complete.”
“We bought this Shepherds Hut to site in our field next to a small brook. The Hut arrived on a truck with its own forklift and delivered it to the site. The driver was very helpful. It was flat packed on a pallet and well wrapped. My son (16) and a local DIY man put it together and painted it over 5 stress free days in my son's school holidays. He now intends to kit it out as an off-grid tiny home. He loves it so much he wants to move out of our home! This has been a great project and we have already enjoyed having a drink in the late evening sun next to the brook. I'm thinking of moving out too...”
“Excellent quality timber, easy to put together. Delivery was within 2 weeks of ordering. I like the fact that its a basic shell that can be modified to suite your own needs. I've heavily modified mine. Highly recommended.”
“We ordered the Shepherds Hut on line. Pre-delivery service was excellent. We were kept informed all the way along as to delivery. Driver arrived @ 6.00pm on day of delivery and used a fork lift truck to bring the kit on to our drive. He was very willing to move some other builders' materials prior to setting down the hut in its kit form. Excellent service. Would recommend.”
“The whole experience from delivery to completion of the build was an absolute pleasure. Access was my first worry, the delivery driver took everything in his stride without a hitch and placed the load exactly where I needed it, all done with a smile. Identification of all the components was quite easy with the aid of a tape measure. The construction phase took about a week in total, single handed and no time off work. It all went smoothly, most impressive point being the accuracy of the supplied timber. The only mistake I made was ordering some corrugated roofing material that wasn't pre-curved, my thinking being it would be flexible enough to bend to shape. Wrong! I used the supplied felt as a base layer then added another layer of quality green felt on top. I have now started the wiring, insulation and internal cladding. I will provide an update on completion. Thankyou Tuin for a good quality and good value product.”
“Overall, the hut was good; packaged well and with no parts missing. Some of the tongue and grooved timber was slightly damaged but with careful construction this damage was hidden. Construction was relatively easy but the instruction booklet contained many errors including measurement errors. The Torx bits sent with the screws were not up to the job and the screws provided were not of very good quality. However, with a little imagination and a few extra tools and screws it all worked out well and the whole construction was completed by two people in 4 days.”
“Excellent product. A couple of minor problems but these were very quickly sorted after a phone call. Delivery was perfect. Instructions on a few little points could have been better. Thrilled with the finished hut. Would certainly recommend both product and company”
