“I did a lot of research before picking Tuin as our supplier. The website is fantastic and it was easy to order, the customer service is great and the delivery easy. The charming driver from The Netherlands delivered 10 minutes earlier than stated time and placed it along our drive with the little forklift. Our builders erected the cabin over yesterday and today. It took longer than they thought and they weren't particularly impressed with the instructions. The shingles were also fiddly but it looks great now its up and will pleased. I would recommend Tuin to anyone else.”
“delivered on time.well packed and polte delivery driver.good quality and easy enough to erect. the only grumble was the finish of the doors and window.felt more like rough sandpaper. but i would reccomend this to others.”
“Delivery time for the log cabin was longer than anticipated but when it did arrive we were surprised how well it was packed & delivered. The driver was great & delivered the package exactly where we wanted it nothing was too much bother. The cabin itself went together quickly and easily with no hiccups but you need to allow quite a bit of time for the shingles. The only other comment I would make regards the instructions, they are not specific to each cabin and we found ourselves having to refer to internet videos and blogs quite a bit, a more complete paper handbook with hints & tips would have been useful. Would I recommend Tuin? Definitely”
“Just recently completed the construction of my wife,s Daisy Log Cabin, a birthday present to her from me, from start to completion it was a dream, the staff at Tuin were faultless in their service and extremely helpful indeed, then on the day of delivery ( August Bank Holiday) I received a call from Otto their driver, saying he is 45 minuets away, and he was, he unloaded the pallet using his fork lift truck and was on his way again. Its was the biggest flat pack I have ever assembled, but it was the simplest, yes at times it was a two man job, mainly the roof assembly, but with two, very simply. My next door neighbour who helped me, was so impressed with the Cabin he has ordered one which will arrive next month. Tuin are a fantastic company to deal with as are their products, thank you to all concerned who processed my order, I would highly recommend this company. Trevor Pearson.”
“Seriously one of the best experiences of my life! Booked a week off work to do this and whilst I ached in a different place every night, I loved every minute! We decided to locate our cabin on a part of the garden that was uneven, so had to build a frame to suit, raised 18" at one end supported by 5 4" posts. That was the most stressful part of the project, ensuring levels were bang on and that it was square (then panicking before the cabins arrival in case it didn't fit/go together nicely...it did...phew!) The cabin arrived at lunchtime on Monday and was up with roof pearlings doors and window fitted by 4pm. I had a mate helping me with this part therefore an absolute dream to build. All logs fitted perfectly with a few taps of the rubber mallet and no twists. A couple have cracks but that's timber...no problem. 2 weeks on and I'm still doing bits to it and around it. It looks fantastic, I cut the roof boards shorter so it had a better profile being adjacent to the garage and it fits perfectly. Insulated the floor and roof with Celotex, had 2 double sockets and a wall light fitted, coming through from the back so no wiring visible inside. The free shingles look great, although a bit of a bugger to fit when you haven't done it before. Put a run of miniline guttering on the door side which also looks cool. Tuin are, in my opinion, the best company for these buildings, honest and informative with a beautiful product. Do what I did though and read every single post on Richards blogs, watch the videos too, it helps tremendously! Fantastic experience and end result, thanks Tuin! I would put a few images on but can't see how. Now I want to build another one..... ;)”
“do you really need a log cabin or a greenhouse? after a talk through log cabin it was to be, where do you look. like most people now the web is first choice with some sites better than others and tuins standing out I clicked on it, so easy to find what we wanted and prices to match. ordering was easy with not long to wait. better get watching all tuins support info and then onto building the base making sure its perfectly level, job done.delivery day excitement and the most helpful of drivers putting the pallet just where we wanted it coffee and cake before waving goodby. started to unpack remembering just how to put and stack everything.only lunch time lets start and as tuin said it was so easy that by night only the roof was to go on.next day roof boards.shingles quick review of info and on with the job.finished! what to use to colour the outside I decided to use sickkens 3 coat system on top of 2 coats clear wood preserve .all this painting certainly took longer than the build. am I pleased with cabin? you bet I am.so if your in the market you will not be disappointed give tuin your order!!! maybe next year a greenhouse or a hot tub?.thankyou to all at tuin.”
“First class service. There was a slight delay in the delivery of our log cabin, but we were kept well informed and all of our questions were answered very promptly. I was a bit nervous about delivery as we live on a narrow but quite busy road and don't have a driveway, however the delivery was completely hassle free. It arrived perfectly packaged in one unit and the dismountable forklift meant there was almost zero disruption on the road (I've previously had stuff craned off, which has been a nightmare). The log cabin flew up without any bother and was finished with roof shingles and floor in just over 2 days. In hindsight, it's worth spending a little time fitting the door surround accurately rather than fiddling with and adjusting the doors, but it all went together really well. Good quality product and great value compared to competitors.”
“Day 1 and Daisy was delivered to us on time and without issue, so far so good. Our good friend and chief cabin builder Mark had built the base the week previously, so we were all ready to go ahead. We chose the composite foundation and this was easily cut and put into place. The logs fitted beautifully together and, with a few taps formed a nice tight join. Within a couple of hours we had the four walls, window and doors assembled. At the last stage of the cabin walls we found we were two short logs completely missing that would have been a disaster had Tuin not supplied a spare log that Mark was able to cut replacements from. The roof beams came next and were easily fitted and then the roof itself all nailed into place. As we were building, our good ladies were painting the exterior with the chosen colour so Daisy was looking pretty good as she was being built. With the roof boards all in place, time had ran out and we wanted a full day for the shingles, so we tacked batons over a polythene sheet on the roof and called it a day. There was very heavy rain that night and I did worry about water getting in, but in the morning we found that not one drop of rain had leaked in thanks to the quality fit of the cabin parts. The shingles all in place and the weather proofing colours applied, our cabin is water tight, warm and looking very pretty. The build was very easy and quick, but we did have our friend who is extremely skilled and inventive building it for us. If you are going to build your cabin yourself, you do need some diy skills or like me, a friend who can help you. There will probably be things that will go wrong but nothing that can't be solved. We are very pleased with Daisy and cannot recommend Tuin cabins enough.”
