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.

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.
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
My new workshop
It took two of us nearly a week to put the shed up which didn't include laying a concrete base beforehand. So this is not a quick project but it is a will worthwhile one. The final workshop is strong, warm and yo probably could not buy the materials and construct one yourself for the price. A couple of issues which we had to overcome were : the instructions are poor and you really have to take your time to work out how things fit together, the screws provided are low quality and we ended up replacing them with more solid screws and finally I wish I had gone for the roof material upgrade as the roofing felt supplied is poor quality and rips easily.
Has not lasted
We had a qualified builder put our cabin together and from the start we had problems. Two pieces of the wood were warped to begin with so they got replaced, which took 2 weeks. Our window latches and handles were rusted when we went to open them so they also needed replacing. We also had to get our door handle replaced as it kept falling off and could not be locked from the inside. The replacement door handle worked for a month before it also started falling off and now the lock is stuck and cannot be unlocked or locked. The wood on the joints has also started warping even though they have been painted with weatherproof paint and are now trying to lift. A lot of our wood also has big cracks in it which we had to fill in. There is also now a gap where the wood is trying to lift near the windows.
Solid cabin when built
I think this represents very good value for money and can be improved and strengthened easily and cheaply. All the parts fitted, there was minimum warping of the timber. We screwed each level into the level below at the corners. We also fitted the supplies Storm braces especially on the wall with the double French doors and two windows which was quite floppy without them. We screwed the roof timber down too. We built a concrete pad and used special fixing to mount the joists onto that pad. We also capped off the joists with a piece of timber and siliconed it so that water could not get under the floor. The window stays are very flimsy and I recommend replacing at some stage. Also the French door with door handle can swing back and could break a windows so a door latch hook is a good idea. Roofing felt is quite brittle and we will replace with a metal roof at some stage. Finally there IS a set of printed instructions but they are right in the middle of all the pieces so you must unlock everything to get to them. Or use the online ones. Altogether a good value product which does need staining for protection.
Lovely cabin
We put this on spot foundations 500cm to match the level of our existing home and be well clear of floods ,painted with recommended oil twice. Put zincaloom roof on after the supplied bitumen paper with purlins to give a gap. Found window strips had screws which hit the glass,unfortunately,I broke one. Impressed the windows are double glazed though! We are using the cabin as a utility room/ laundry, with roomfor 2 big freezers and linen storage. All in all an excellent cabin for the price. Trade tested have been marvelous to deal with. Very pleased with end result.
Great design and worth money look luxury highly recommended
Great products Can’t say enough how much I love this cabin
Easy assembly
With foundations already in place the cabin itself took 3 of us a full weekend to assemble and we are stoked with the final result. We’re building a deck out the front and putting a tin roof on top so there still some work to be done. We’ll most likely be buying a second one of these in the near future.
Stoked with finished product
Our cabin is perfect as a kids lounge room/guest space. Great product, easy to put together and good quality.
I love my office cabin so much
This is my purpose-built, off-grid office. It's such a beautiful space. Hardware is a bit flimsy but the wood itself is top notch and what a great result for the price. We added a solar power system and water tank as well as a deck to soak in the views. Very happy with the overall result.
Loving our cabin now that it's together
We found the cabin quite easy to put together once we got going, though the instructions we're quite vague in some areas. Note there is no roofing included in the price so we had to buy shingles as well. The cabin is stained using CD50 Hickory with two coats. We're absolutely loving the size of the cabin and the acoustics is going to be amazing as we're using the room as our music room.
Extra space
Great idea for that extra room that every household needs. I’ve added a bath and it’s become a guest room or ? Great DIY project or call your local contractor, it can be completed in as little as a week.
The office retreat
Product was super easy to put together, two of us managed to get the cabin constructed in a single day! Surprisingly warm with the double-glazed windows, we did add a heatpump and underfloor insulation which was a nice addition in the winter months. Roofing sheets and window joinery (the lock arms only) was the only part that let the cabin down, we ended up replacing with tin corrugate and new hardware. Makes for a nice office retreat!
Iris man shed
The shed is a great size, builder was impressed with how well it all went together. A great finished product, seems good quality. Our German Shepherd seemed to think it was going to be an awesome new kennel at one stage! Looking forward to fitting it out!
Read Instructions and then GO!!!
A great way to add to your home without having to apply for consent. Make sure you unpack the kit, read the instructions and lay out what you will need first (on a fine day) and then go for it. We had the foundation ready when the pack arrived and so it was straight forward to put it up in around 4 days, with tea and lunch breaks. A good product for a good price. Thank you Trade Tested.
Love my Iris
Easy to build and a great finished bach. We built it on trailer as the section it will live on is being developed. Just rapt at the size, the ease, the look. All at a great price
cottage
We have just had our cottage built and it is fantastic, the building is amazing and the person who erected the cottages was professional and very helpful to deal with, in my view this company's products are good quality and outstanding value
great cabin
Ordering of the cabin was easy. Assembly was easy but would have been a lot easier if more explicit instructions were provided with the product. Materials are good quality. No missing parts. Excellent value for money. Supplier should offer options on roofing with either sheet asphalt or asphalt shingles. (not supply both)
Amazing little house
I recently returned to NZ after living and working in Australia for 16 years. I was able to purchase this cabin to put on my daughter's lifestyle block. My son-in-law and grandson were able to erect it in 2 days. Just waiting for spouting to be attached and I have my own private little space
Awesome house and fantastic communications throughout
Great team. Have this sorted from purchase, support, delivery and even follow up. Impressed with quality at all stages. Well done.

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

Good shed
Turned out great, no issues with cut lengths or timber defects. Better to build your own base/foundation.
Excellent Cabin
As an Engineer I'm very impressed by how precise and accurately machined this Log Cabin was and went together
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.

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.
