Robert double carport
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.
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.
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.
