The building arrived at the time specified and securely packed - maybe too securely as there were a few crush injuries to some roof boards. The build process was quick and easy and I have since had many compliments on its looks, design and construction. I purchased it after helping build a similar one for my daughter and being impressed by the quality of the timber and precision machining of the parts which all fitted together impeccably and I found the same with mine. I have a few very minor moans though. The price ped about 10% between ordering and delivery! I guess that's just the luck of the draw even though the shed claimed to be a special price with a time limit which prompted me to order earlier than I intended. I have a large number of fixings, both screws and nails left over and don't know where I should have used them. It would be helpful to indicate how many nails to use per roof plank ( 2 nails per purlin and wall top and you run out, 1 in each and you have many left) There are irritating spelling errors on the instructions (eg purling instead of purlin and baton instead of batten) The web site has contradictory information about delivery - one place says there needs to be someone on hand to help off load heavy parts and in another place it states that buildings are offloaded by crane. And finally the only thing actually wrong with the building - the barge boards were cut at the wrong angle for the shallow roof I ordered.

Great Service. Delivered in the time expected. I bought it to be used as a home office and the quality is excellant - better than any I had seen on a show site in fact. The suprisingly accurate product description sold this cabin to me. I was slightly worried about the installation but I called them up and was talked through it over the telephone.

I have to say I'm really impressed with the cabin and the guy who delivered it was brilliant - helpful, courteous and showed me how to put the first two floor panels together correctly as well as working with me to move the rest of the parts into the back garden.

I consider this cabin to be an excellent product and would recommend Tiger sheds to anyone. My wife and I built the Sabre cabin in 3 days. Day 1.. Remove packaging and move all components from front drive to build area at bottom of garden. Layout all items, checking for any missing pieces. Day 2..Treat every individual part with preservative and build cabin. Day 3..Apply roofing felt, which I thought was poor quality.. The cabin was very easy to assembly and did not require any special tools. 28mm thickness of wooden planks means the cabin has a good sturdy feel to it.

I first contacted Tiger Sheds to get some more information on the log cabins and I received a detailed reply with drawings to help me construct the base. I followed this up with a telephone call and was very impressed with the service even before I ordered the cabin. I did look around many of the competitor cabins but couldn’t find one that was any cheaper for the same quality. The reviews on the site also helped me decide. I eventually took the plunge and ordered the 14 x 9, 28mm Sabre. I was told that it would be 2 to 3 weeks to delivery so built a timber base raised 12” off the ground so I can deck around the cabin and stop the rodents getting in. The base was built with 6 x 2 preserved decking joists. I dug 6 off 18” square by 3ft deep holes filled them with concrete mix and tampered them flat. This enabled me to now use 4” mett post clamps and 4” posts for the legs. As promised I received a delivery phone call and on the day of delivery also received a call from the driver. I must say that he was most polite and a great laugh, he also did everything he could to help. He really went out of his way to help me get the cabin on the ground safely and gave me some great pointers on the construction. The quality of the cabin cannot be questioned, it fit together like a glove and with of us on the job we had everything but the roof boards on in just under 4 hours! It is really that easy. The driver gave us a great tip and that was to apply the cuprinol preservative on the edges and ends of the boards as you build. This way you get the best penetration of the preservative. Don’t skimp on this stuff either, it seems expensive but it goes a long way. On first impressions the instructions look like they are missing detail but it is so simple as there are very few different components so it basically builds itself. I didn’t fit the roofing felt supplied but opted for quality under felt and then capped off with black corroline corrugated sheets. Looks smart too. In hindsight I should have opted for the shingles offered. I can’t fault the whole service, I am really pleased that I bought it from Tiger and would highly recommend them. Jon Walker Wilts

Realised after erecting we could have ordered a larger version but that's our mistake, despite this still very happy with the Sabre log cabin. Excellent value for money. Thank you

I bought the Sabre 14 by 10 cabin and the product is fantastic. I ordered the double-glazing and due to a mix up, was sent single-glazed windows. However, the staff responded very quickly and the correct windows were delivery and installed by Chris who was extremely helpful and offered some good tips on construction, wood preservation etc. All in all, an excellent service and many thanks to all the staff at Tiger. I'd recommend this professional, friendly company to anyone thinking of buying a shed / cabin.

I just wanted to add a comment about the Sabre shed I have built. I spent a morning making sure the base was level and square after which the shed went up like a dream, I am really so impressed with the quality and ease of construction I would not consider shopping around if I had to buy another. Tiger delivered on time and the shed was far better than I had hoped for

From oredering to delivery, I can't find a fault. Delivery man was very helpful. The cabin it self was very easy to erect and looks fab.

Excellent buy. Having ordered in the spring, the building was delivered on time and went up really easily, which was suprising as myself and partner are not the most DIY proficient people in the world. Its a really solid building and being honest is a lot better quality than what we were expecting for the price we paid. Thankyou very much Tiger Sheds.
