From ordering our log cabin to getting it delivered everyone was very helpful and nice. The delivery was on the day they said and the cabin is well packaged and secure. The delivery guy was nice and professional. Our cabin isn't built yet but I can't wait to see the finishing results.

The Cabin was delivered by a wonderful gentlemen, wrapped and perfectly packed. You can tell just from this, before we even started building the product it was pure quality. The cabin, considering it’s size was up in around 4.5 hours with two people. It’s an absolute pleasure to build, the shingle option I added makes the cabin look pure high class and overall it is a true asset to the garden. I tell everyone about how simple the cabin was to build, how quick to have a near 20 meter square cabin and how happy I am with it. Cannot fault it at all. Furthermore the customer service when I was selecting the paint was also so responsive and helpful. All round excellence.

My wife and I found the website really easy to use and helpful, delivery was on time and done by a very helpful fella who moved the huge box of kit around to suit us. Now its built, the cabin is a fantastic space and just the right size for a nice entertaining area.
Dont underestimate the time it takes to treat a cabin of this size, it's taking longer than putting the cabin up.

My Meaghan cabin was delivered and carefully placed on our drive, using a fork lift truck driven by the lorry driver. He was very pleasant and punctual.
Having decoded the instructions, they could do with some extra illustrations in a couple of places, together with help from my neighbour we unpacked the huge pack of materials and carefully placed them in my double garage all sorted by their coded letters and numbers. That took us the best part of a day in between rain showers.
When a dry day arrived were we all ready to start building the Cabin on a previously well prepared base with the ring beams in place. We started at 9:00 Am and had completely assembled the cabin by 19:30 including a 1 hour lunch break. The cabin was very easy to assemble with 2 people following the instruction's. I am extremely pleased with the end result. I have applied 2 coats of a Sandolin wood preserver stain to the external wood.

This was our best decision to choose Tuin to provide us our new "shed" as a lockdown project. They made the whole process so easy and delivered to the door within minutes of their specified date and time . The pallet was perfect and with the many available video clips available erection was very easy.
We now have a great "shed" with bar, darts, pool table and TV as an extra room. Our teenage boys love it and it is in high demand.
We have named it The Covid Arms.
Great quality and finish.

We’re very happy with our cabin. It arrived on time to the minute from Holland and the driver was extremely helpful. As we live up a cul de sac meaning access is a bit tight we had been a bit concerned but this was no problem with his forklift. The supplied kit is very comprehensive and fully numbered so once sorted out the assembly is quite logical. The instructions are quite basic, not as detailed as a full step by step guide but a competent DIYer should be OK. I have two recommendations for a buyer; first put a lot of effort into preparing the base because if the base is level and true everything else follows nicely (fun and games follow if not), and also have two adults working on it (I did it mainly alone and it was a huge job). Highly recommended.

This is my second log cabin and couldn't fault the quality of the wood that has been used. Delivery driver was very helpful and happy to put the pallet where we wanted when unloading from the lorry. Cabin went together well but my only criticism is the door frame which is a little flimsy when you put it together but it is fine when in-situ.

After spending months pondering over whether to get someone in to build me a new shed/log cabin or build my own, and many months searching all the various websites, I am glad I chose Tuin and their Meghan log cabin.
Deliver was smooth and very helpful putting the very large pallet on my drive so I could still get my car on.
Unpacking next and sorting everything out, I was unsure what a couple of items were so a photo and an email to their help desk was answered promptly and everything sorted ok.
The build really is as simple as the video shows, watch the video as the drawings are a little lacking in detail.
I had help getting the roof bearers up, the rest I did on my own. The roof shingles took nearly 2 days, so was time consuming and sore(buy knee pads, they saved my knees).
I went for the 26mm floorboard and putting the bearers down and the floor took 2 days also.
I haven't had the weather to coat it in protection yet but I have added guttering and a water butt (which is an essential really).
I have installed a ring main and lighting for my usage, I used round conduit as recommended by Tuin and fastened it in place loosely to allow the logs to move and breathe.
I had a couple of knots leak so I bought Coltron knotting solution applied and no more leaks.
In summary, the cabin build is a days work and goes together really easily if you keep everything square. Roof shingles are slow and painstaking, floor very similar. The finish I am very pleased with and will be contacting Tuin to send them some finished pictures.

Put my Meghan log cabin up 2 weeks ago it was a family affair as it was built by myself,son,son-in-law and grandsons who are 10 and 12 years old it was very satisfying and fun to do and the cabin looks fantastic I did have one hiccup when unpacking the pallet one of the windows on the doors had cracked in transit this is a rare thing to happen so I contacted tuin they were very helpful and Jamie arranged a new window to be delivered and it was here in a couple of days so overall great company very nice people and I’ve ended up with a great product thank you

Wonderful, wonderful what can I say Tuin deliver . Everything from choosing to delivery went smoothly. Looking forward to now building my Meaghan log cabin and spending many happy hours in it.

Very pleased with our Meghan log cabin. Top quality from the timber to the double gladed windows and doors. Easily slots together, a two man job took a day to erect and the following day I added the roof tiles. We've just added some wooden blinds and stained the cabin with a water repellent wood stain, which makes the cabin blend in with the garden. It's perfect for my purpose (a man cave) to house a snooker table, dart board, bar and jukebox.

I lagged underneath the floor boards and I'm going to fit a carpet.

Cannot recommend Tuin more! The delivery was delayed because of the snow but that was fine with me because the weather was awful and I was happy to wait. It was delivered on a fork lift because the HGV couldn't get down our road. The driver put the shed package where I wanted it and it stood there for a few weeks before I was ready to make a start. We were amazed at house quickly it all went together!

This cabin is great. It was very easy to put together and all fitted really well. The delivery was very easy too, helpfull drivers who put the cabin just where we nedded it. The only problem was the lengh of time it took to get the cabin, a mix up with stock levels was blamed and it took an extra 4 weeks which meant we were putting is up in the cold and wet part of the autumn. Over all very happy with the cabin.

I chose Tuin after reading and researching the options available, and I'm happy I made the right choice.

The information, advice and guidance on the website is comprehensive and a great support. I chose the Meaghan because it offered the best fit for the space I had available and I'm really pleased with it.

My dad and me built it across two weekends: walls on day one; roof on day two; half shingles plus skylight on day three and; completion of shingles on day four.

The process is really intuitive and we really enjoyed the build - the build video in the support section of the website is invaluable, we watched and then rewatched the key stages several times then copied. Some logs had slight warps here and there but they all went together ok. Apex logs are pretty delicate, so be careful. Purlins and ridge purlin needed some real hammering (with lump hammer and off-cut chock!), but went in with force. Double doors took a fair bit of tweaking to get to shut straight but we got there eventually. Again, the guidance on the website is a real help.

Roof planks was an enjoyably methodical process, and then the skylight and shingles loomed... I actually bought an alternative skylight instead of the Tuin option as I wanted something slightly bigger. In hindsight, maybe I should have stuck to the Tuin version...

Shingles are great but after two consecutive February days on the roof, I'll be happy to not see another shingle for some time. We fitted 25mm celotex underneath the shingles with 40mm clout nails and this seems to have worked out ok. Time will tell.

Flooring left to do, but already looking forward to kitting out for spring and summer. Building it was great and an enjoyable bonding session with my dad!

Very pleased.

Delivery without issue. Fork lift to where I wanted and very friendly driver. Packaged really well and bodes well for when erected. Not got that far yet unfortunately but hope to in the first week of February.

This has exceeded all expectations. It was easy to put up. I added insulation and plastered it inside and it is just like an extra room. We use this all the time. It's great as extra guest accomodation. A TV room for the children to use..Absolutely love it!

I would recommend TUIN to anyone. They are excellent from the moment you place your order to it being delivered. All in all an excellent and professional customer service and what a great product.
It was delivered as described, and as agreed. The driver was excellent and placed the pallet where I required it, Again professional and courteous. The Meaghan was packaged well and the instructions were perfect. With a square level base the installation was completed with the roof shingles by two of us in less than 7 hours. No adjustments required for windows or doors, a perfect fit. Just the roof trim (fascia) and preservative to complete the job the next day!
I cannot fault anything and would highly recommend both TUIN and the product.
Thank you
