“Can't speak highly enough of the Riina cabin and Tuin. In a nutshell, I am confident (although not necessarily that capable) DIYer. Easily the biggest project I've done. I devoured all the blogs and videos on this site and took the plunge. No regrets. The quality is incredible. And if you follow the tutorials and videos and instructions you'll be fine. It's not easy but I don't think it requires skills much beyond sawing, drilling, hammering and common sense. There was one error in the instructions which caused some mild panic. I have flagged this to Tuin and hope it is sorted it out. The instructions could also be more detailed, but it's possible to follow them if you're patient and considered. I actually did miss something out but was able to resolve later on easily enough. It took me 2 full days to go from laying foundation beam to having the shingles on. Add on to that 3 coats of Embadecor stain and doing the flooring etc., but for the main i think it can be done in a weekend. This was also in late January in close to zero temps, short days and with snow on the roof which i was shovelling off to lay shingles. I went for 40mm insulation board on roof and under floor. Also skipped a beam at the top as it was getting too high but this then required some extra thinking on how to use the final beams as you effectuvely go off the instructions if you do this. Scratched my head a while but got it sorted. Am now settled in using as a home office with a 1kW panel heater. Love it. Desperate to do it all again.”
“Finally got round to purchasing my corner log cabin to go with my Gazebo. At the time of purchase the deal on the Riina was a no brainer. Saving of 930 certainly was the enticement to upgrade to the thicker walled model. This delivery experience was just as good as previously. Was given my date and again the fantastic and very friendly delivery driver arrived half a day early after calling me and informing me this was a possibility. Again a wonderful product the build quality of the log cabin is brilliant. Not to mention the really well engineered double glazed window units. The build was easy I'm still putting the roof on as my spare time has been eaten up recently. But there as been no issues. It has been a really joyful project. Looking forward to finishing the roof and adding guttering. Treating the outside and getting on with stove installation. Summers going to be great in the Garden but bring on Autumn we will be cozy and ready... Honestly could not recommend Tuin and their products anymore.”
“I bought Riina cabin for my beauty salon in the garden. Even though Riina is only 3x3m I could fit everything what I need. I absolutely love it , my clients love it too. Easy to put it together and it looks great. Thanks Tuin for making my dreams come true.”
“What can I say ? Apart from a slight delay in delivery due to good ol Covid , about which I was informed well in advance , it all went like they said it would. The pack was on my drive with no fuss , despite being a bit tight for access. The build itself was straight forward enough and took two of us about 6 hours. I put my own floor in using 40 mm insulation and 80mm for the ceiling which I covered with some matching shiplap cladding. I put power in and so I have the obligatory Beer fridge and T V along with a small convection heater which has the place toasty even on the coldest nights. Any company that tells you its cheaper to sort your own floor out because its cheaper has got to be good and was a big part of my decision to buy from them. I was right about that and am extremely happy with me little man cave.”
“I am so delighted with my new Riina summerhouse. The whole process from order to build was a pleasure. The quality of the materials and assembly process was so enjoyable and a really great project to complete. I have been able to transform a corner of the garden into a new space which will work as an office and entertainment space. Every touch point with Tuin has been great from the internet order, to contact with customer services and the delivery driver. Well done Tuin!!”
“Our Riina cabin was delivered on time and no items missing it went together perfectly and now it painted its brilliant, I'm a time served carpenter and this is the best product I've ever assembled. we purchased two cabins at the same time a Sten and the Riina, the Sten was brilliant and the Riina even better.”
“Brilliantly machined good quality timber which looks absolutely fabulous in the corner of our garden. The joints notched together perfectly making it a joy to erect. The whole thing took two of us a day for the walls, roof, doors and windows. The optional flooring and the insulation and additional boarding on the roof took a bit longer but now we have an extra room which can be used year round. The whole experience with Tuin was perfect and the building is a thing of beauty. I think the only thing I came across which could be improved is the advice on insulating the floor and roof on the website. I'm from a construction background and sourced details to avoid condensation issues in future elsewhere.”
