“Having already ordered and built the STIG cabin in our own back garden earlier in 2018, my in laws were so taken with it they asked me to build one for them. The STIG was too large for their space, but the Asmund was ideal - we ordered one additional window to give them views of the garden to three of the four cabin sides. They also had a ready made base which made the job so easy (the site of an old garage - which had been removed - but left a really good & flat concrete base - an ideal size for the Asmund). The delivery came on the promised date, and after unpacking/checking and stacking the contents I was ready to start the build the next day. We used the optional composite foundation beams (which are great and have a far longer life than any timber beams). In less than one and a half days I had all sides up to roof level and had cut and installed the additional window. Another two days to roof it and fit the shingles - then just the Carefree Protect to apply in 2 coats. I now just have to install the floor for them - but should have the whole thing done in the coming week. These are great products and if you take the time to watch the various installation videos and study the construction & roofing methods they are easy enough to do.”
“If only every delivery could be as swift....simply perfect! A strange way to start a review but that set the tone for the following 2 days, 0715 I took receipt of the Asmund Corner Cabin and thats when I had a little panic and felt overwhelmed by the amount of wood now sat before me. With the words have fun building your cabin screaming through my head I took a deep breath and set to work, I took all the advice from the website and tried to digest as much of the instructions as possible. I started, well the wife started treating and painting the outside of each panel and we left this to dry with a total of 3 coats. I started the build first thing Saturday morning and it wasnt long before any doubts vanished, the wood was and is top quality cut to absolute precision which allowed me to crack on very very quickly until I got to the lvery last plank where I utilised the out of office help (sceptical....sorry) within minutes I had Philip on the phone helping me rectify my issue, I didnt have one just an oversight in my part. Come the evening I was putting the roof on ready for the felt. Sunday I began putting the shingle on the roof followed by the flooring, come Sunday I had completed the build, I had a bit of help in lifting up the roof but generally a very easy build that left me so satisfied, not only by how quickly and easy (once I found my groove) but the sheer quality of everything, simply brilliant and worth every penny, I take my hat of to you all, quality in every sense. Thank you”
“Good quality cabin, managed to build OK eventually but would say that the instructions need reviewing/ rewriting as they are vague and out of date. Especially for the roof which came pre assembled in 8 pieces. Lots of nails left over? Delivery also was very good. With regards the wood treatment, would recommend that any future buyers should seriously paying the extra cost to have the cabin parts dip treated by Tuin as its a very time consuming and expensive operation.”
“Many years ago I was advised to do a job for someone else before doing it for oneself. The instructions for assembly were adequate as far as they went. assembling the double door frame proved to be a problem due to the angled door posts, it might be wiser to assemble this in situ, pity this can not be done before delivery Consequently, my doors do not fit.as well as I would like. However. I have a summer house that looks perfect when viewed across the garden. In all fairness, I did all the work by myself, it really is a job for at least two people. But when all is said and done I am very pleased with the finished product.”
“Absolutely thrilled with both product and service. Had various requests from neighbours and friends about the company and product which l was more than pleased to pass on to them. Definitely recommended.”
“Arrived as scheduled and delivered with care. Excellent quality and easy to put together as it is so well made. I watched several of the available videos to ensure I was doing it right. Now its almost complete and a really solid summerhouse which should last for years. All my neighbours have complimented me on its good looks. Recommended without hesitation.”
“We researched the idea of a log cabin for the garden to enable the use of the hot tub all year round, we narrowed it down to Tuin and another, after reading the reviews we opted for Tuin. The web site information was great clear and concise, the staff that I have spoken to were very informative, polite and pleasant, they were able to answer my questions. I was contacted for the delivery and informed that it would be early morning, on Monday which is what was requested, the pallet arrive at 0745 am with no hassle or fuss. The pallet items were separated into the different pieces and piles, ready for the cabin build to start. The quality of the wood and the joints were of a very high quality which meant, the cabin was easy to put together and build, the roof shingles were easy to place and fasten in place. Once completed they look great and give the log cabin a quality look. We would have no hesitation in recommending Tuin Log cabins to anyone, High quality, Quality components and a fantastic look.”
