Just had my Lakra 18ft x 12ft cabin installed and, lets be honest, its a thing of beauty! Really nice product. Very pleased I chose Tiger Sheds (TS) for my Log Cabin Now the practical stuff- 1. Had a very accurate design requirement, including landscaping the garden and making the log cabin foundation fit in with the paths, flower beds, awkward fence lines (not square), etc. Got very good information from TS on the exact design of the cabin, which allowed me to squeeze it right into a corner. Information on the web site was very useful, including space needed for installation. But got good service from TS on additional information 2. Delivery was on-time and helpful in getting the pallet positioned where I needed it. The wood is untreated so it needs to be protected from the weather until it is installed. The pallet arrived fully covered for this purpose. A few of the roof and floor boards were damaged but TS supplied replacements promptly, ensuring the installation could go ahead to schedule 3. Used TS's Pro Installation and, if you are considering a cabin of this size, I would recommend you do the same. In my area (Worksop) the Pro installation team was Dave Bennett and his assistant Ryan. Did a really good job, particularly fitting the cabin into the right position, tight to the corner of the foundation, fence posts and aligning to the paving slabs. Now the bits you need to be aware of. These points are listed somewhere on the web site but you could easily miss them and, subsequently, be upset and unhappy with TS- 1. The log cabins are made from completely untreated timber (except for the base struts in contact with the foundation). TS will not recommend wood treatment (other than in general terms) so it is down to you to decide how you want to treat the timber.... and get it done before the cabin gets wet! Although TS will not recommend proprietary wood treatment, I will, as follows- a) 2 coats of Ronseal Total Wood Preservative (clear) This will protect against rot, woodworm, discolouration, etc. and does not inhibit subsequent treatment (paint, oil, etc.). However, it is not waterproof and does not give a nice satin or gloss finish. So, you need to follow this with- b) 2 coats of Sikkens Cetol Filter 7 Plus. This is a coloured finish so you need to decide what 'stain' you want the cabin finished in. This treatment IS waterproof and leaves the wood with a satin (or semi gloss) finish. This finish is good for washing the cabin (particularly useful for removing birds sh) Be aware, unless you cut corners, this is going to cost you around £240 in materials alone 2. When the cabin arrives it is your responsibility to remove it from the pallet, count and inspect every piece!!!! If you fail to do this then the installing team may not be able to install the cabin. I was fortunate in that I had to move the cabin from my drive to the rear of the house and, in doing so, found a few floor and roof panels were damaged. Now if you find yourself in the same situation I recommend you- a) Carefully remove the protective cover from the pallet (you are going to need this later to re-cover the material before installation) b) Photograph the damaged items, list them and immediately get in touch with TS. They will promptly send out replacement parts c) Re-palletise the cabin in the order you removed it from the pallet originally d) Re-cover it to protect it from weather until it is installed 3. If your base is not perfectly flat (and I mean 'perfectly flat' to millimetre accuracy) you will find that the door frames and window frames will distort and may well cause the doors and windows to jam. Providing you are competent with a wood chisel and sander this is no big deal...... but be aware! 4. Installation does not include fitting the guttering. Again, no big deal but just be aware I hope this information is of help. If I had known some of these points it would have made the process a lot less stressful... even though the end result is well worth it

Happy with quality of shed - but had to chisel off some wood at the top of one of the walls in order for the roof to fit properly & the door handle didn't arrive with the shed - a little difficult to get in and out - it has been posted. The overall quality of the build of the shed is fantastic just these 2 points which is why the 4 not 5 stars.

The shed construction is good, with quality timber, fixings and fittings. The build was easy with panels fitting together well. The final product is strong and is exactly what we need to store our bikes securely and out of the weather.

Bought this shed 2 years ago for the height as i was always bending down just to enter through the doors in previous shed, Excellent value for money and really spacious, The barn shape is more pleasing on the eye compared to the standard shed. It was also really easy to build. 5 stars is not enough for this product.

Couldn't be happier with our shed. Kept up to date with the delivery details and was delivered within the time slot given. The delivery man was so helpful in bringing the shed panels through to the back garden, of his own choice, and with a friendly attitude, which is refreshing. Unfortunately the shed is not yet erected, through to bad health, however, it looks to be very solid and the fact that the door is already fitted, with a lock, is a bonus.
