"We are delighted with the finished product which looks very impressive for the money. The cabin’s clever use of the space, split into two rooms, means we can maintain an attractive, uncluttered summerhouse at the front and still find a home for all of our garden tools and machinery out of view in the back room.
The construction, though not as easy as it would have been if the foundation beams didn't need to be mitred and joined, was relatively simple and only took a day for the basic building (although tiling the complicated roof shape then took a further day and a half.) The instructions were clear and easy to follow and, although the parts themselves are not labelled, it is easy to identify them from the pictures and dimensions given in the parts list.
I would have no qualms in recommending this cabin for a competent DIYer and would give it 5 stars if the floor and foundation beams had come cut to size."

"RELATES TO "PIELLI" Delivery excellent within 10mins of stated delivery time,shipping packaging resulted in shipping damage to 2 wall sections, these where instantly replaced and delivered by courier within 2 days.
The base sections do have to be mitered and in the case of the "pielli" with the angles involved at the double door area,i believe that a unskilled person could have difficulty in assembling base succesfully,joist sections do need to be shortened to fit base, reasonably easy but the squareness of corners and correct angles cannot be stated to highly.
Wall construction is easy and sections fit beautifully,door frame assembly needs to be square the frame is flimsy at joint area so glueing is essential.
Joist roof assembly is two men and fitting roof panels 2 or more persons, again square and level is the only way and without this problems will be encountered, i recommend that roof panels are screwed down not nailed.
Roof tile is a long job if executed to withstand prevaling weather conditions i.e.mastic as well as nail, corner angles at the apex need to be thought about carefully to achieve a good finish (again remember the "pielli" various angles).
The locks,door and window fittings are poor quality, the acrylic window panels are best inserted with a silicone sealant and a blob of silicone behind the centre of the glazing bar this will stop the acrylic from moving about when the door/windows are closed.
NOTE;the plans do not state the roof overhang, care is needed if cabin is near an existing boundary wall/building that adequate space is left when at base level to ensure that room is left for overhang.
Overall the cabin is of good quality, dissapointing that the floor is osb board and not floorboard.
To achieve a "nice" cabin feel i have fitted floorboard and tongue and groove over the osb ceiling, planed the osb board at the external overhang to fit straight fascia and then a mini guttering can be fitted. "

"Cabin arrived as promised, Well pleased with quality and finish. Individual parts did not have numbers so it can be a little difficult to match them up with the instructions.

"Great Summerhouse, very solid, absolutely no regrets. My only criticism is that the construction of it was far from simple for a novice like me. Having to cut floor joists and foundation beams to size (and mitre them) was not something I expected to have to do. Not only that but the parts are not labelled yet in the instructions they are. Ensuring that your using the right parts is a little hit and miss in places. I'd highly recommend paying someone to erect it for you. All in all though, this really is a great quality product is a lot of cabin for the money. "
