I love my cabin! We received this towards the end of last year and myself and a few others got it up within a day and a half! It looks great in the garden and we use it all the time, thank you to the team there too, they answered all my questions and were very helpful before ordering, during the order process and even when I had some technical questions after it was delivered, I couldn't ask for any better service.

Second review of Hanna 7.6 m2. I rated the Simply Log Cabins Business as 5 star about 8 months ago on delivery of the kit. Now built, this review is about the Summerhouse itself. Also completely 5 star. If you’re using a contractor to install it, then all you really need to know is that it is an excellent product. Good quality timber and well finished. Very sturdy design, looks great with the roof shingles. The 34mm wall planks give good insulation, but if you intend all year use, then maybe consider a different, double glazed style. Other than that – just sit back and enjoy!! The rest of this review mainly concerns those folk who are thinking of installing themselves. Hope these comments are useful, but they refer to Hanna 7.6 only. I cannot speak for other styles. The kit contains all the components needed and the instructions are very good. All the machined sections are accurately cut to very good tolerances. With suitable DIY skills & tools, most of the work can be done single-handed (if you wish), but the roof sections are heavy, cumbersome and need accurate placement. Fixing is best as a 2 or even 3 man task. As recommended, all the timbers were initially treated with 2 coats of preservative. Bit laborious, but worthwhile. The base is the first key issue as the website says. It must be dead level, well drained and tough enough to support 1.5 tonnes. I have a 10% sloping site so chose compacted, crushed 20mm stone with retaining walls of pressure treated sleepers. Check out this excellent website (USA based) for details on this and concrete / slab bases. https://www.siteprep.com/how-to-install-a-gravel-shed-foundation/ Second key issue is to fix the foundation beams into an absolutely true hexagon. I built them in 2 halves off site and a bit of school geometry helps here! Same applies to the wall plate when you come to the wall tops. Might also be useful to apply waterproofing sealant between the top of the foundation beams and the bottom row of wall planks. Above that the tongue and groove gives excellent weatherproofing for the faces of the main walls. The 6 roof triangles were a big challenge to install due to size and weight. The internal apex is quite high. As well as ladders, access might be easier with scaffolding or trestles. Finally, I can recommend the felt roof shingles, Very heavy duty and quite a task to fit, but give an attractive and durable finish (in my opinion). Again, scaffolding / trestles might be useful. I did add a layer of heavy felt underlay sealed down with bitumen adhesive. Not supplied with the kit, but a precaution against the strong wind / heavy rain which often occurs on the South West Scotland coast. On the subject of rain, the only (slight) weatherproofing weakness is at the wall corner joints. Here the wall planks slot together with simple lap joints as you might expect with the “log cabin” style. This makes building quick and easy, but the plain joint faces allow small amounts of rain to blow through the tiny gaps – unavoidable no matter how good the manufacturing. If this is a problem, beads of sealant down the corner joints work well. Maybe also look at the end grain of the wall planks and possibly the door frame. I chose paint as the external finish and internally the floorboards had 3 coats of clear matt floor varnish. Hoping that makes it easier to keep clean after BBQ’s ! Overall, no question about it – an excellent Summerhouse which I recommend without reservation. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Smart website, good delivery. Summerhouse delivered damaged, Trims dont find, Window and door hinges rubbish, marker pen writing on floor subframe on side that faces out. Communication with Simply Log cabins just ends up being endless emails with nothing resolved, they appear to be used to receiving negative feedback and reviews. If you are impressed by their website then lower your expectation of what you are actually going to receive. I wouldnt be a returning customer

Good afternoon, Thank you for taking your time to leave us this review. We are sorry to hear that the summerhouse arrived damaged, it is very uncommon for there to be any issues with these, we get these cabins direct from the factory which are based in Estonia so we can have this reported to them for you. Are you able to perhaps send us some images of the issues to info@gudrum.com and our customer service team can look into this for you. Kind Regards, Simply Log Cabins

Great value log cabin. Everything went very smoothly from ordering to delivery to building. The only thing I would change was the instructions, what you get is minimal but you just need to take your time, look at the pictures and use a bit of conmen sense. I was a little worried with the bifold doors but these went on very easily and are great. We love it and would recommend to anyone wanting a great value log cabin.

Hi Tony, Thanks for leaving your review. The cabins do get brought over from Estonia and this is where the instructions would come from so we apologise if this was a little confusing. We do have some technical people in the office who would have been able to help and talk you through this if you needed to call. But thank you for the image - this looks great! Kind Regards, Simply Log Cabins

Our cabin arrived on time and was unloaded quickly. It's very solid and substantial and looks lovely in the garden. We've painted and furnished it now and it's a great addition to our garden. There's a but though! The instructions for building it were very poor. The diagrams weren't clear, the screws, nuts etc were all mixed together and it took a good while and plenty of toil and sweat for us to work out where to start. They were very difficult to follow even for our friend who'd previously built two cabins from your company. Make the diagrams clearer and easier to follow and you would have a 5 star product. As it is I've had to give 4 stars.
