The Utopia gazebo is great and does just what we wanted it to do, providing us with a sheltered seating area whilst not blocking our views. We have now used it lots. Building it was fine and the instructions were clear and detailed. The only bit we did struggle a bit with was trying to get high enough to get the felt slates on, but our determination was worth while and the final result great. Everyone who has seen it has loved it and wanted to know where we had it from.

Overall opinion of the log cabin was satisfactory. Problems encountered were as follows: 1. Manual is not user-friendly for amateur DIYers. 2. Diagrams need more detail. 3. Additional wood had to be cut by the purchaser. Wood should be pre-cut. 4. Not enough nails for roof and floor. 5.Bolts not strong enough for doors and door parts are very flimsy. The log cabin took 5 days to complete by 2 amateurs and looks great.

A fantastic addition to our garden. I had a quote from a garden landscaper of £3,350 to put a pond, rockery & shrubs in a spare plot we had but decided on a cabin. Superb quality timber & fittings. I constructed it myself over 5 weeks. I treated every piece of timber with a clear preserver before constructing. The build was straightforward, it's the 'finishing' that takes the time ie glazing, skirting, decorating etc etc. If you've got a cordless drill & screwdriver & a basic grasp of DIY I'd recommend building yourself. The colour scheme is all Wilkinson's garden range branded, main building Buttermilk, doors & facias Slate Grey & the floor med-oak satin woodstain. Blinds from Ikea!

Our Vantage 250 summerhouse is pure delight, beautiful to see, very comfortable to use and well made from quality materials.

I was very impressed with the utopia300 gazebo will say it takes a bit longer than other customer statements it took 2 days to erect and felt the roof but was worth it as the weather was good. I would have preferred to have 4x4 uprights as I believe this would make it totally solid but I am very happy with the final product I would suggest that you buy the better felting as it does make the gazebo that bit better looking all the lighting we have added but nice to sit into the early hours on these nice evenings
