Please see our 'consent information' button below for more information. Construction Points: A good foundation is the key to guaranteeing the longevity and quality of your cabin. Only a completely level, rectangular foundation and bearers will ensure problem-free installation of the cabin. The floor must be a minimum of 50mm off the ground, preferably more. The underside of the floorboards and the joists should be painted thoroughly and care taken to ensure enough airflow under the house. We recommend using Malthoid DPC between joists and the ground. If unsure consult with, or have the foundation prepared by a specialist.

Cool project. Really well designed. Would recommend.
+ Great project for two + Easy to assemble - Instructions are not clear - Foundation size is inaccurate
Excellent Cabin
As an Engineer I'm very impressed by how precise and accurately machined this Log Cabin was and went together
Iris Log Cabin
We were very pleased with the construction from start to finish. It took two men just over 1/2 a day to construct it to roof on, doors and window in, hardware on window and doors.
Great Cabin with warm Sauna feeling
I love the wood. The look. The Sauna feeling. We're using the cabin as our "fourth" room, home office, guest lounge, and outside chill area. Size is great.
Cute with a few issues.
This cabin was reasonably easy to construct but there are minor hiccups. The front window does not close properly. Neither does the door. My builder friend has had to reinvent the door mechanism to get the lock to open. It is going to be an Art studio so the cost went up considerably. Still you get what you pay for
Studio Iris
Fabulous studio. Our studio was erected by a builder and professionally painted and decorated by my husband. Is solidly built and weather proof...stands up to the high winds of this region.
Not enough Instructions
The cabin was delivered on site and wrapped water tite. After unwrapping and laying out timber a few boards were split and damaged. Major issues with lack of Instructions, half the steps were very unclear and windows and door fittings are not even mentioned. There is no mention of fitting internal trims either. The finished product is nice however the lack of instructions took what could have been a great weekend project into a troublesome project.
Log Cabin Iris
This would be one of the easiest kitsets to put together I have ever done. Very well and accurately made. The instructions are rather lacking would be my only real criticism.
Good size but not quality
We at first we happy with communication before hand and delivery of sleep out. We started by doing the foundation which you should expect to add minimum extra $500 on top of cost. We got the instructions out, which are pretty much impossible to read with absolutely NO step by step instructions, more of a invatory list of what it comes with, with a flat lay imagie of the overal layout of the cabin. There where no instructions where all the skrews and nails are to go and there is a lot. Our was not a snug fit around the door even though our foundation and base was to exact measurements and completely level. The cabin looks nice but as for instructions and fit not the best, our door had a gap at the top Will be find if you can work with a picture and fill in the lines yourself.

The cabin is lovely, warm and spacious.
Great little cabin
Firstly, very pleased with the final result. Yes I would recommend it. I spoke to the Trade Tested people and they said do not underestimate how long its takes to complete. From the foundation, the build, the roof, the deck all takes time. The actual walls go up quick. Trade Tested highly recommended oil staining all the 250+ bits! Before the build. We used Cabots Natural Oil and it was the Natural colour. This took quite some time but worth it in the end as it is not treated! We also got familiar with all the bits as the instructions are not that great! Once completed we did a second coat of oil stain on the exterior and it looks amazing. One issue was the size. I checked if 3.6 x 2.7 was the actual size and made the base this size. This was wrong as the actual size was 3.6 x 2.75. Annoying but easy fix. We put corrugated iron roof on and this was cheaper and more robust. However the roof end barge boards were not long enough for a roof that was raised. Lucky there were some extra planks in the kit so I made some more. We put Expol under the floor as we were laying the floor boards. A nail gun made the floor and ceiling boards much easier to do. Some people mention the door leaks. There is a flashing strip supplied but not long enough. I made another and sealed it with no more gaps. The actual door can leak at the top to so a little angled flashing over the top of the door would fix this. This is not supplied so I made one. Any other holes or gaps can be filled with exterior no more gaps easily. The other thing I would do is close in the base joist ends before erecting the cabin so it looks finished and tidy and Expol not exposed. These are not supplied in the kit. Overall it was a pleasure to build and looks great but it will take you some time to get it all right but its worth it. Happy cabin building.
Iris Log cabin is terrific
Trade Tested and Iris Log Cabins take a bow. The shed arrived well packaged and installation was without hitch. It looks and feels absolutely perfect. I used and recommend the protective oil also supplied by Trade Tested. Just would have liked more information on the requirements for the foundation. But all worked out well. I have a wonderful addition to my garden.
Fantastic - easy - cabin
Got this as a home-office/sleep out. It was relatively easy to install, even for newbies like us. Getting everything square, understanding the instructions (not in "real" English) and getting the roof on where the main challenges. We have since got it powered and had a proper roof installed. Otherwise, really happy with the result!
Top quality product for price point
I have to say, without much building experience, this cabin was very easy to assemble. It took x2 solid days, excluding a seperate day of setting piles and foundation work. The materials are great quality, communication with Tradetested was great also. It arrived with weather-proof flatpack which was great also, as it bought us time to set a free weekend to assemble it. The French doors and window provide plenty of light, with the ability to cut out a space for another window at a later stage. Plenty of extra materials, nails and screws were also provided. We have recommended this to many friends and work colleagues, and have received loafs of positive comments, particularly around the value for money. Thank you to the Auckland staff at Tradetested, great service.
Easy to assemble, quality product
It has taken me less than a day to assemble the structure of the cabin and then a mother morning to add the roof. I have done all of this by myself, without any assistance, and it is very doable. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. The product itself is well manufactured and of good quality. Very happy with the purchase!

Alsoom cabin, I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to live in
Nice little cabin
Easy to assemble. Also come with spare parts. The customer service is really good.
Barbara
I'm sad to say that as cute as this cabin is, it's been a problem from the beginning. Some timber was damaged when it was delivered. Our cabin came with the doors already put together which seemed like a bonus, however with all this rain we have had there has been leaks in so many places on the doors, so I am not a happy person. Very disappointed.
Shed
Easy to assemble and great hobby room
Iris Cabin
I found the review comments very useful pre-purchase. So hopefully you find this commentary helpful. The build process was really easy and quick. I spent time getting the foundations right using piles, bearers and stainless fixings. I also fixed polythene to the ground for moisture protection. It was useful having the plans prior to delivery so the foundation could be laid. On arrival I extracted the joists from the pack and painted them to assist the pretreated timber. They were then fixed to the bearers. It wasn’t clear in the instructions how to fix the joists. So as well as 90mm screws, I also used Stainless straps (not included) to secure bearers and joists to the walls. I also purchased some wood treatment for the underside of the floor boards and some Expol under floor insulation. The building of the wall’s was quick. The roof did take time, and because I secured the roof panels with two nails, I did run out.. The instructions weren’t clear. Next step was the roof felt. There were a lot of nails used and I did have to climb onto the roof to secure it. Once built we painted the outside of the timber straight away. A few weeks later we have had trouble aligning the doors so they lock properly, and have added an additional lock. To reduce cost I installed some solar lights for the cabin. OverallI I am still very happy with my purchase and have resolved issues.

Millimeter perfect kitset. A joy to assemble. Perfect for purpose.
Cool project. Really well designed. Would recommend.
+ Great project for two + Easy to assemble - Instructions are not clear - Foundation size is inaccurate
This is the 5th trade tested canin i have bought and had built . The Iris is a great space to work with. This is the second Iris i have bought as i am so impressed with the first one
More than happy with the service offered by Trade Tested and their products of which i have bought a few.
Good shed
Turned out great, no issues with cut lengths or timber defects. Better to build your own base/foundation.

A lovely, traditional garden shed
This was easy to put together and the instructions were clear. The kitset included a large roll of roofing felt, so I put three layers on the roof for extra water-proofing. It is robustly constructed, unlike many cheap sheds, and it looks cute as a button with a fresh coat of paint. I particularly liked that the wood was untreated - no toxic materials to handle - and there is a lovely raw timber smell to the shed when you step inside (took me back to my childhood).
Great log cabin
We've installed it at our retreat centre for confession and small group breakout room. It's been well received and well used.
fantastic cabin
this cabin really suited our needs and looks great in the back yard, we get so many positive comments from our friends. it's was easy to build just need a bit of building knowledge and you're away. would highly recommend
Big job to build but worth it
Intense build as only pictures to guide you. We did a couple of mistakes which meant undoing and redoing but we are still on speaking terms! Hardest part was attaching the swing brackets onto the beam, perhaps the timber had swelled due to rain but it was a very hard job. Took us 3 days to build it but thoroughly worth the end result. In summer will add sand underneath and a cover for a sandpit. We are planning to cut the ribbon for a grand opening this weekend.
Anna house
TI was pleased with the house but the wooden windows open in and have about 5mm gaps on sides, also the glass rubber was not tight enough to stop rain. so between all of that they leaked water in quite bad.
