“What can I say, an excellent cabin, so easy to put together. Took me a a mate about 10 hours. A proper quality item delivery, excellent, nothing missing. Can recommend Tuin highly enough. Don't buy from anyone else!!”
“I recently brought a lodge from Tuin, very good service and the lodge went together without any issues. All complete and very pleased with the end result.”
“Very informative website. Easy online payment. Slick delivery. The assembly was by a professional builder who thoroughly enjoyed the project and we are now the proud owners of a very special summer house!”
“When spending a large sum of money, youre always a little apprehensive, especially as you cant view the product in person. I couldnt be more impressed with the whole process, but especially the log cabin. Everything went as planned, all lengths were cut perfectly and fitted exactly. I am extremely happy and would and have recommended Tuin to anybody that asks! Brilliant, brilliant log cabin! Money well spent!”
“Delivery and communication was brilliant throughout. build was effortless, I spent a good day marking and putting every log in to correct piles. Then I built the main frame on my own in around 2days,4days total including insulating and roof shingles. (although unpacking and carrying it into the back garden from the front myself was not effortless) Would not hesitate buying again or recommending. build quality is excellent. I will add some photos and videos if I can. Even had some flooring left over to build a tv unit frame and bar.”
“After much deliberation as to the style and size of our log cabin we ordered the Wolfgang on 27th December 2020 and took delivery on the 23rd March 2021 which we felt was brilliant given the upturn in demand due to Covid. In summary our expectations were very high after reading the numerous online customer reviews and we were not disappointed! Tuin are a fantastic company to deal with in every regard. The delivery driver was great and placed the cabin in exactly the spot we requested, the kit he had to take the cabin from the lorry to our driveway was extremely flexible to accommodate differing access situations. The cabin itself took me about three hours to unpack and sort into the various components. We had no missing pieces or damages. The product itself is wonderful, easy to work with as long as you get organised before you start building. We decided to go with the composite profiled foundation beams in the end and were so glad we did. Reviews are mixed on the website but so far we have no issues. The ones delivered to us were virtually black which look great against our dark grey porcelain tile base and we dont have to worry about rot for the life of the cabin. We will have to wait to see how they weather and also if they remain watertight after applying a bead of clear silicon where required. In terms of the build itself the main point I would echo from numerous reviews and blogs on the Tuin website is that a 100% level base is key to a successful build. The build took me five days on my own but the roof covering was two days out of the five. We went for the straight black roof shingles and they look fantastic. We decided to put our own black guttering on which worked out quite a bit cheaper than the Tuin option. My only criticism of the cabin was that the fascia boards to mount the guttering on were not deep enough so I had to put some extension pieces on. Again, I would thoroughly recommend putting guttering on as it looks much better aesthetically and it obviously helps to protect the cabin. Three other minor points. Firstly the window catches cannot be mounted central to the window if you install the Georgian slats, you need to offset them slightly to enable the catch to lift up. Secondly, the apexes need to be dismantled for the Wolfgang unlike the cabin used on the Tuin installation video. Finally, I used screws to fix the ridge shingles as I felt the nails were a bit short to ensure they did not come off in high winds. To conclude, we are delighted with our Tuin log cabin, it has completed our garden”
“Lets start with the 'not so good' I waited months before ordering hoping for a sale price, when I eventually placed the order I had to wait the 6 weeks for delivery, only to be told there would be a further delay of 5 weeks,( may have been Covid) then my order and delivery was confirmed, a week after that they put the cabin on sale, so I lost out on hundreds of pounds, hoping for a message to say they could at least meet me half way, but not forthcoming. Don't expect much spare timber in your pack. The shingles were included but really there needs to be a breathable liner included to help with waterproofing. A few logs were twisted 'don't worry' they all straighten out as the wall go up. The good bits. The engineering is firs class. Delivery driver very polite and helpful with getting the load as near as possible to the site. Instructions are pretty good but I had to read them 3 times to make sense of it all. Caution, If you have double doors it is essential you make sure the frame is fitted 100% square and plumb, the slightest fraction out and you will be days trying to hang the doors so they shut properly. Tips, Treat as much of the timber and let it dry (including the joints) as you can before putting it up. Sort all the component parts into piles and label them as you unpack it. The average DIYer can do most of the cabin alone but may need an extra pair of hands for the roof beams. I took 3 days and 1 day for the roof (it was hacking with rain most of the time). take your time with the base and first log (this is crucial to the build). Very good tips and advice on the web site. Lovely cabin, good quality I would have no hesitation with recommending this to anyone, not withstanding the money I could have saved in the post purchase SALE.”
