“What a cracking log cabin. simple construction although diagrams were not complete. it only mentions the frame of the cabin but nothing about the roof. that said a simple phone call and it was sorted. i took my time with building it and am very pleased with the outcome. Even the kids helped with the build and painting. i would recommend Tuin products and customer service and wouldn't hesitate to use again. i will write a more detailed review with pictures very soon. thanks again.”
“Just taken delivery of our new log cabin From the start to getting it delivered has been brilliant. The driver rang before to let me know he was 1 hour away and he done we to get on my drive so thumbs up to him.i haven't had time to put up yet but looking at what I have received it is good quality wood If I can I will post pictures when built Many thanks Jason”
“I spent 6 months researching products and opted for a Tuin Ulrick Log Cabin. Although all the reviews said they are easy to assemble, I wondered how easy it would be. I have never attempted anything like this at all and spoke to a local carpenter and checked his availability in case I needed him and I was out of my depth. Well, the cabin arrived all packaged up early December. The delivery driver was brilliant. He couldnt do enough to help to make sure he dropped it in exactly the right spot. After a few days I braved it and opened everything up. A mate of mine said he could help me as he had a few days off. Neither of us have done this before. By the end of one day, the whole cabin was pretty well up. I nailed the roof on in the second day and on day three we nailed the shingles on between us. I lost track of how many times we commented to each other at the quality of the parts and just how easy it was to assemble. I put the floor in on the fourth day and then spent a few days staining the whole thing. It looks stunning. Far better than I ever imagined. I now use it as an office in all weathers. The Tuin staff can not do enough. I had a window latch missing so I e-mailed them and it arrived first class the following day. I would have been really annoyed with myself if I had paid someone to assemble it as it was so easy and I actually really enjoyed it. Just Brilliant Tuin. Well done!!”
“The log cabin was bought back in February and was built over the Easter weekend. It has slowly been added to since, the last remaining job is to install electrics which needs to be run 50m from the house to the end of the garden. The cabin looks mighty impressive and I do believe it is a quality item. However, I have had a few issues which it appears that not many others have experienced. A month after the cabin had been erected I stated noticing gaps between the logs around the height of the door, this was spreading from left to right as you look at the cabin. Some to and fro from Tuin and they believe that the door was preventing the logs from settling down. We then set about removing the doors and as soon as we had done so the cabin suddenly cracked down into position. This solved the majority of the gaps that had been forming but Tuin instructed that I had to then cut an expansion gap into the log above the door. This was not a particularly easy job as I only had to a hand saw. This was quite frustrating because having paid for a cabin that should just need assembling I shouldn't have to modify it. Tuin have stated that they dont know why our cabin has needed more of an expansion gap, but I do not believe an expansion gap existed as it was just appeared to be normal grooved log, perhaps they had forgot to include this expansion gap log and delivered a normal log instead? One of Richardss blogs actually highlights this with a competitors log cabin, unfortunately this has happened on one of theirs as well. Moving onto the blogs, this is clearly a wealth of information however, there is no obvious contents page of how to find the blogs, as some blogs are linked within other blogs (and sometimes within comments section as well), care also needs to be taken as Richardss replies in comments provides more in-depth information which may provide a different interpretation of the content of previous blogs. Therefore read all the blogs, read all the linked blogs from within the blogs and comments section and then read all the comments. This may make you do things differently than if you had just read the main blog on that particular subject. Overall the cabin looks really good, I think 4 star review is fair given the issues we have had with the gaps appearing, we still have one small gap that needs sorting however. I will provide a picture review once the electrics are installed in September.”
“I got this log cabin for a garden office and couldn't be more pleased. The size and quality are great. I found Tuin over the internet and they were helpful and the prices fantastic. Very pleased.”
“We couldnt recommend Tuin enough; from the speedy response to my query emails at the beginning all the way through a simple ordering process to delivery. My husband and I built the log cabin, it seems confusing when you look at ALL the bits and instructions but its so simple and goes up so quickly. Theres more than enough information on the website should you come unstuck. Wed use TUIN again should we ever want anything more for our garden!”
“I must say i was reticent to start with ordering a log cabin online. However from the point of order right up to the final shingle going on the cabin i have been impressed with Tuin. The delivery was exceptional, excellent communication and the driver and forklift got the pallet as close to my base as possible up my long winding drive. I managed to put this up over a few evenings and then 2 mornings to do the roof and floor. I am very impressed with the quality and the final look of the cabin. We had to make a few modifications to the purlins as the cuts didn't quite go deep enough but in the scheme of things it went up so well considering im not a DIY expert. The few calls i made to the support team were answered very well and quickly. If i had the space i would buy another as a workshop! Highly Recommended.”
