“Wonderful Wolfgang. I am so pleased with my log cabin, the quality of the wood and the way it fitted together was 1st class. It took only 2 days to finish the build, but a lot longer to paint and put the insulation and flooring down. Put I would highly recommend Tuin. Lucy”
“I researched long and hard before deciding on Tuin. They are an exceptional company and the quality of their buildings are second to none. My Wolfgang cabin was installed 9 years ago and, despite my terrible neglect of its upkeep, it is still as beautiful, sturdy, warm and watertight as it was on the very first day. I've had 2 other buildings from Tuin since then ( another cabin and a metal shed) and, unlike a lot of companies, despite Tuin's huge success their attention to detail, quality and value for money still remains unequalled.”
“Great product and great service. Love my Wolfgang cabin. Tuin lived up to all the great reviews from delivery to completion with fantastic support by phone and by email, both before and during the build. The first word out of friends' and family's mouths is usually "Wow!". It really has the wow factor. I have now given it 2 coats of Sadolin and am looking to enjoy it for many years to come. Friends of mine came to take a look and have now taken delivery of their own log cabin from Tuin. What more can I say!”
“I rate this as an extremely good product. The delivery was perfect and even a day early. The cabin erected very easily once unpacked from the delivery and looks fabulous and we have already had nice comments about how well made it is. A very good product.”
“Delivery: on time following a call from the driver, the biggest pallet I've ever seen, friendly driver and expertly delivered. The pallet was massive and well packaged, the instructions were confusing but the tuin website videos cleared up the confusion. The build: very straight forward once the foundations were down. Cons: a few warped boards but not overly, instructions could be clearer or more pictorial Pros: well packed, good pre order information and follow up. Well constructed. Looks amazing, thanks tuin”
“Wolfgang Log Cabin 5.3m x 3.0m/4.5m double glazed. The whole experience from order to delivery and installation has been positive with emails and queries responded to quickly and promptly providing a stress free process. On the day of delivery the driver kept me up to date his progress and was professional and efficient in its delivery which included parking around 0.5km away and then completing and manoeuvring a tight access along a road to a small cup-de-sac. I should mention that it is a big pallet so be under no illusion as its size and any manhandling or repositioning and make sure that it is in the right place. In my case I was fully aware that I would have to have a kerbside delivery and then carry individual pieces to the rear of my property which has limited access. The entire process of splitting the pallet and carrying separate components took around 4hours (and 23000 steps !)and unless you are a big lump like me I would suggest that it is a two man job particularly when moving the prefabricated door units as these are substantial. The following day I had help from a couple of friends to speed things up. I had already constructed dug out and laid a concrete base the previous year onto which I set a heavy duty flat deck designed to take many times the loading of the Cabin and on this basis I cannot stress how important it is to have completed the enabling works and in providing a stable a level base to work on. As part of the build I had opted for the composite profiled foundation beams and whilst somewhat fiddly to work with I am glad that I did. Setting out is key as each beam has to be cut and trimmed to the appropriate length to provide a stable base for the interlocking beams to sit on. As with any project like this setting out measuring and remeasuring is paramount as is offering up the first layer and then remeasuring again to ensure that openings will fit and that all of the angles are correct. In this instance we found that one of the measurements to the back wall was out by the thickness of a single beam (probably measured the wrong side of a mark) and as this was repeated on all of the beams it was a relatively simple case of adjusting positions of the foundation beams to take account of this (something that any competent diy'er should be capable of doing if attempting a build such as this. On setting out the angles to ensure that the cardinal points were square we also found that the measurement along the front entrance would be slightly short unless it was slightly out of square. Rather than skew the build we opted to keep the base square and then trim the lengths to suit the door opening so that the lengths above door height still fitted exactly into the cardinal points. The rest of the core build was simple going up at a startling rate with only two or three lengths that had to be notched slightly deeper so that they sat flush. The only minor mishap we had was that despite checking the items against the inventory the angled sections at the eaves did not appear to accommodate a left handed shed solution and only appeared to be for a right handed storage (as shown in the primary website picture) the solution was relatively simple in that we notched the end angled section and reversed the remaining beam to leave a small notched section near the roof support beam which we pieced in and filled prior to painting. I would however advise anyone looking to set this cabin out in a left hand storage configuration to make the people at Tuin aware of this to make sure that the same situation does not occur on your build or to at least consider this when making an inventory of the pieces as this could be more difficult for an average diy'er to rectify. To Tuins credit they were more than happy to have replaced the piece on the next working day however as I needed to complete the build on the weekend it was not an option. The remainder of the build was problem free and in total it took 2 long days to complete the build in its entirety including a warm deck and flooring with insulation. Overall this has been a trouble free build and the quality is fantastic. I would recommend this Cabin and Tuin to anyone. Enjoy your build.”
“I can now understand why there are so many 5star reviews for tuindeco products. Delighted with my purchase of a Wolfgang cabin. High quality workmanship and excellent service. I would highly recommend this company.”
