“I was shocked when the cabin was delivered. So many bits and pieces! The delivery guy was efficient and amusing, and we set to. Luckily 2 friends joined us and we erected it without too much trouble. It was exciting seeing it grow before our very eyes! Quality was excellent and it will outlive me and my wife Ann, Im quite sure. Putting the roof on was fun, and challenging for us, but we are getting on in years now. Luckily our friends brought a platform with them which was invaluable.”
“We bought the Nora log cabin after researching many alternatives and reading the reviews on the Tuin website. It was delivered (on time) by a lorry with a fork lift truck and so the one pallet was placed exactly where we wanted it. The materials are of very high quality, the instructions were a little generic. I would say that the construction of the doors could be improved, particularly the way the bottom has the timber tacked to the front rather than within the door. It probably took 3 to 4 man days to build and it took two people to construct the roof. There wasn't enough timber delivered to complete the floor but this was quickly rectified by Tuin. I would highly recommend Tuin log cabins.”
“Excellent delivery. Superbly machined components. Need to be fairly adept at DIY joinery but great fun to build. Completed on my own. Roof does take some time to assemble due to number of board cuts. Sliding mitre saw essential. Shingle fitting also takes longer than you might imagine. Because of the hexagonal pyramid shaped roof I used a tower scaffold platform with a roof ladder for safety. Invaluable and would recommend. All in all would do it again. Most importantly my wife loves it!”
“A well made summer house delivery and packaging were excellent however the instructions leave a lot to be desired and the thought of climbing on the roof off of a ladder with a circular saw filled me with thoughts of missing digits however it does look nice now it finished”
“Pleased with it but it was a lot more difficult than suggested. There was a surfeit of information but not enough specific to the Nora cabin. It took 3 of us a day to get the basic shell erected but only 2/3 of the roof boards completed. I completed this the following day on my own. It took me a couple of days to do the shingles and access was not easy. I believe the quality of the materials and fittings are good. I am pleased with the result but had I known what was entailed, I would have gone for a constructor who would have been familiar with the process.”
“I have owned a Summer House previously, but the quality of manufacture on the Tuin Nora is way way beyond the earlier purchase from another company. I had occasion to ring the company once during the sales process and was dealt with in an extremely friendly yet professional manner. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending both the product and the company. Many thanks”
“I first became aware of Tuin log cabins after a holiday friend impressed me with the photographs and praise he heaped upon me last summer.I was so smitten that I purchased the NORA and do not regret it in the slightest.I enjoyed the challenge of the build and now I can admire the fruits of my labour.PS I am 75 years of age and I assembled this all by myself,with a little help from the wife.”
“We ordered our summerhouse for delivery at the end of July18, allowing August for construction. But the slots in many of the logs were not cut properly, meaning that the building would have leaked. When they saw photographs Tuin agreed there was a problem and that new logs would have to be made and dispatched with priority. That was in mid August. We are now expecting delivery at the end of September, so we will be building in October. This means that we will have had another a six week wait. Where's the priority in that? Not good enough Tuin.The only good thing is that Tuin do reply promptly to emails. It is a shame that the log delivery is not so prompt.”
