“What a fantastic cabin. delivered into my front garden with millimeter precision. Went together like a dream - did it on my own which was hard work. Would be much easier with two to each log, bashing them down at both ends at the same time. All the wood was excellent - twist and knot free, and accurately machined. I have alreadyt recommended you to many of my friends! Many thanks”
“Excellent cabin ,very good service from staff answering queries .Delivery on time and fantastic advice on a team who were able to erect the cabin for us at short notice.highly recommended”
“Our log cabin was delivered on a day convenient to us and erected very expertly by one of the recommended fitters. The cabin is of good quality and is exactly what we expected and the whole operation went smoothly. We had previously arranged for the concrete base to be laid by a local builder but it would have helped if Tuin had provided us with a specification for this work.”
“The cabin arrived within the seven days, the driver could not be more helpful, we two over 70 years of age built it with shingles complete in three days. Fantastic cabin, easy to build. I recommend this company to anyone. First class.”
“Really happy with my purchase. The 58mm logs are inclined to bend and twist. This was quite problematic, but we managed to wet them and cajole them in to position. Though the cabin faces south the windows aren't high so the rear of the cabin seemed dark. I got round this by fitting an additional rooflight. The door lock isn't great, and if I were to ask one thing of the manufacturer it would be to improve on the security of the door as it is difficult, due to the design, to add additional locks other than an unsightly padlock. I shortened the front canopy to 50cm which was easy to do cutting the logs down to 20/30/40/50 cm overhang. I treated the whole structure inside and out with solvent based clear wood preserver before using an Osmo stain, followed by 2 coats of Kingfisher KX10. The winter has passed without ony deterioration. Still like new. Very thankful for Tuin for recommending the KX10. Really is excellent. I fitted the 27mm flooring which I then protected with 3 coats of Kingfished decking oil. I think if I did it again I would fit a floating floor with a good quality laminate over 50mm insulation. I think it would be easier to keep clean for workshop and garden use. I put 50mm insulation on the roof and ended up buying UPVC facia boards which I am happy with. Overall very happy, Great help from Richard during the construction process, and a number of neighbours and colleagues green with shed envy !”
“Excellent. I am not good at writing reviews, so tend to shy away from doing them. I couldn't not write a review about this purchase. For starters - the price was the best I have seen and the service was definitely not what I was expecting for such a reasonably priced Cabin. I emailed a support query on sunday and was quickly rang back from Tuin with help and advise to get me back on my way. This was crucial to me, as I had to finish it that day. We had a slight issue with a couple of packs of flooring and again, my query was answered at 8pm that evening and new packs sent 48hrs later. I really couldn't have asked for better service and the actual cabin is fantastic quality and fitted exactly as the instructions said. If I had to give one negative, it would have been for the courier. He was great and managed to get the pack in a place I thought he couldn't but his fork lift leaked oil on my newly laid drive. In his defence - he did warn me and I should have maybe put something down to stop it, so it wasn't bad. Thanks Tuin, and I have recommended people who have already bought from you.”
“Very impressed! I treated all the timber prior to build, which took ages, but I am sure is better than treating after the build as you treat inside all the joints. There were a couple of logs which were twisted a little but a clamp was enough to straighten and get them in. Impressed with the speed of answer to email questions even at weekend and evening.Most impressed with the honesty, e.g. don't buy insulation from us go to your local builders merchant, etc. I would certainly recommend Tuin.”
“Having undertaken a great deal of research into log cabins, we eventually came across Tuin. This means we had a pretty good idea of what we needed and had a clear idea of the specification that we were looking for. We were pleasantly surprised to be able to get the Stian cabin - a 58mm thick cabin with double-glazing - at the price offered. It was significantly less than other cabins we had seen which had a lower specification. As to the quality, I have to say I am really impressed. The building has been up for over a week and looks and feels very solid and sturdy. We opted to have a builder put the cabin up which I think was a good decision. I am sure a DIYer could do it, but the build was not without challenges. We found the first log had a nasty twist so contacted Tuin who offered prompt and helpful advice. There have been a couple of areas where we needed clarification and each time Tuin responded promptly and professionally with the information needed. One area that has really impressed me was when we needed additional shingles to finish the roof. This may have been how I laid them out so no issue with Tuin on this one. However when I contacted them they got back immediately and arranged for a free next day delivery of a very heavy pack of shingles! I think this went above and beyond in terms of customer service. Overall experience has been very positive and I would not hesitate to recommend this product or Tuin themselves.”
