“Ordered a Riina corner cabin. Delivered as expected, quality of materials is excellent being 58mm thick. Really happy with the service from start to finish and also really happy with the product. Took a few hours to build bit had everything you needed to build it amd more. Looking firward to getting the log burner finished in time for the winter nights coming in now. Will be spending a lot of time in this cabin. The wood finish is amazing and is lovely to be in.”
“We had already paid a deposit on another log cabin with a different company when a neighbour showed us the cabin he bought from Tuin and was full of praise for the sales service and the product. We made enquiries with Tuin and decided on the Riina 3mx3m 58mm log cabin- the spec and quality and also value for money far exceeded what we were offered at the other company so we cancelled their order in favour of the offer made by Tuin- best decision we ever made- Sales/customer service team are 5*, quick to reply, knowledgeable, nothing was too much trouble from start to finish- absolutely superb service! The online assistance was equally quick, efficient and extremely helpful! We opted for the installation service from Tuin (which was a lot cheaper than the recommended sub contractors I got quotes from). Delivery was perfect, I was kept up to date on delivery times and the driver was very accommodating. The installation of the cabin was amazing- one expert fitter, fantastic job, lovely lad- brilliant at his job and also professional, polite, tidy and talked me through the job before he started- what a hard worker (I think he was called Roger but my hearing isn't great), he is a credit to Tuin and whatever you are paying the lad he deserves more. Needless to say the whole experience was faultless, first class from start to finish, quality build by a craftsman- I love this cabin!! Thank you to all at Tuin who made this process so easy and at a very competitive price.”
“We bought the Riina cabin with its 58mm thick logs and double glazing as my wife needs an all year round studio for her art work. I have bought and assembled garden sheds in the past. I have also built several from scratch but none of them were as beautiful and solid as this one. My first impression when I opened the pack was the fine quality of the timber and the accuracy of the machining. This proved to be true as it was very easy and quick to build once I had spent time getting the base/ floor timber supporting structure assembled over the original brick foundation. The cabin is surprisingly airy and roomy inside and because I did not want to block our view from the kitchen, I was able to omit 2 full height planks from the build. This has the effect of lowering the final height by a half-log all round, some 70mm or about 2 1/2. I insulated under the floor and on top of the roof as recommended with 50mm thick Kingspan board. The shingles were also very easy to fit following your video then I finally fitted guttering bought locally. My only criticisms are as follows; the paper building plan was just laid on the top of the components but not in a sealed bag. It was soaking wet when I finally opened the pack and took 36 hours to dry out. The outer door frame, that has to be fitted early in the build, is different on the inside and outside, but it is not marked as to which is which. The enlarged drawing of the frame does not show this difference so in the end it was just a guess on my part as to how to fit it. Now that the cabin is finished I still do not know if it is right or wrong! Care also needs to be taken with the windows. Although it is obvious which is the inside and the outside, one is left handed and one right handed and again, no clue as to which should go where. These are just minor irritations but I think the outer door frame needs a detailed enlarged drawing showing which is intended to be the inside face. Altogether a splendid log cabin and a bargain at the price.”
“After much internet research I decided upon the Riina corner cabin which was to be used as my office. I was impressed by the blogs, the information on cabins on the web site and the price compared to competitors. I placed the order over the phone was not subject to a attempts to sell a range of extras. The cabin arrived as scheduled. I had arranged with John Heard, a Tuin recommended installer, to build the cabin. John was very helpful and provided a wealth of advice on treating the cabin, points the electrician need to consider, fixings etc. I'm very pleased with Tuin, the cabin, and the service that John provided.”
“Fabulous service from Tuin. I have been looking for a Summerhouse/Sewing Room for about a year and each time I searched Tuin came out on top. So once the base was down I ordered the Riina Log Cabin. Delivery was as stated on the website and we were phoned to advise a rough time. The guys who put it up scratched there heads at first but had it up in a day. Roof shingles the following morning and floor the following day. The quality is second to none. We have just painted the outside using CAREFREE PROTECTANT TIMBER TREATMENT and it looks fantastic. Cant wait to move in.”
“In general, very pleased with my Riina, after a little mix up with stock levels, the unit was delivered, well packaged and prompt. Once all parts were checked, I moved it all to the location and built it over 2 days with help form my father in law - It's a 2 man job for sure, especially locating the joints at either end, they're so well machined that they need to go in at the same time. We were basically a full 8 hour shift building the cabin, and then another 8 hours doing the shingles, they're not particularly difficult, but it's not something you want to rush as they really finish the look off well, and I want them to last!. The only reason I've not given 5 stars is because of 2 things, the roof panels are a bit Heath Robinson, quite cheap feeling and roughly made, this leaves a sour taste to be honest, mainly due to how well the rest of the thing is made. They're poorly cut and need a bit of bodging to get fitted properly. The other issue was the way the Riina is finished above the door, just a length of timber that you cut yourself and screw inside and out, I don't know why this isn't a machined piece to lock the whole thing together?. I was a wee tad worried that it wouldn't be that big, but given the high roof internal, it seems bigger than it is, windows and doors are very good too, much better than many competitors cabin's that I've seen. My top tip would be to spend your time leveling and squaring the first layer and base, after that it's a breeze, until you get to window level, then make sure you fit the under window section for the 'higher window' otherwise it would be a lot of stripping down to remediate. Instructions aren't great, unless you're used to looking at engineering drawings, it was handy having images of customers built units to check certain small details during the build. Overall, I'm happy, and am sure we'll have many happy times in the cabin. It just needs a name now! :-)”
“Overall this has been a most enjoyable and rewarding project.The Tuin site has loads of great information and I would highly recommend that you read/watch as much information as possible before starting. I would highly recommend Tuin log cabins as the build quality and advice /information and overall help is what makes this a great experience.That said there have been one or two issues with the 28 mm flooring where the tongue and groove had not been machined properly on some planks, but with a bit of carpentry skills you can resolve most issues. As with any wooden product it has its own characteristics and you need to work with it.That said, it is all explained on the website. It's a great product, delivered to your door and great fun to build.My advice is please make sure that your base is 100% before starting and the rest will follow. Get that wrong and you may struggle. Thanks You for a great log cabin everyone who's seen it has been impressed and it looks like it will last for a long time. My only feed back to Tuin is that I would have paid extra for a insulated roof if that had been an option.Many thanks for a great log cabin and a great quality product.”
