What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Living Outside Ltd has built a strong local reputation around Wimborne Minster for its log cabins, BBQ huts and garden buildings, with customers repeatedly praising the professionalism and friendliness of the team. Ian is named often, described as knowledgeable and helpful during consultations and surveys, and Charlie also features in accounts of projects coming together.

The recurring theme across reviews is the quality of the finished result: solid construction, sturdy and well-finished cabins and huts that customers describe as impressive once complete. Reliability and punctuality come up frequently, with several reviewers noting that teams arrived when arranged and that builds were completed in a matter of days, sometimes within hours. Communication is another point that comes up often, with clients saying they were kept informed throughout, from the initial query through to construction dates.

Tidiness and care on site are mentioned, with work areas left clean and tidy. The range of work includes deck building, garden building supply and shed construction alongside the cabins. A customer who ordered a BBQ hut noted the helpful advice during the survey and a smooth installation, with the finished building matching expectations. Others highlight that dealings felt straightforward and well organised from start to finish.

We were recently looking for a BBQ lodge.Researching on the internet, we went to Wimborne to the show site / premises of Outdoor Living. We met Ian - one of the partners and he showed us around the show Lodge. Ian answered our questions - very professionally and friendly. We were very impressed with the quality of the Lodges. The Lodge suited us down to the ground and we decided to order one. Ian kept us fully up to date with progress and within a couple of weeks Steve arrived at our house to build the base. I was very impressed with the quality of his work - the base was solid and the wood of top quality. Next day, the Lodge arrived. So many individual pieces of wood - luckily Steve and his colleague Toby were soon fixing the parts together. They worked methodically and it soon became obvious that they both took pride in their work and their attention to detail was impressive.The Lodge had been painted in the factory - we were even supplied with two small tins of paint in case any touching up was needed ( it wasn’t ! ). Once the Lodge had been finished, Steve did a handover and even explained how to adjust the door in case it was necessary in the future. We are over the moon with our new Lodge. We obviously made the right decision to order from Outside Living. We have no connection with the Company - only as very satisfied customers.

Visited Living Outside Wimborne, to view a BBQ Hut. Spoke to Ian who then offered to come to our home to do a survey of our garden that week. After a consultation decided to go ahead and order one. The hut arrived within the time frame Ian said, we then arranged for a construction date. The guys turned up promptly, we’re incredibly informative, friendly clean and tidy. It took three days to build, is totally amazing and we love it. Can’t rate this company highly enough. Many thanks to all concerned.

Having visited all of the local suppliers of such buildings this company gave me the greatest confidence in their ability to deliver the best quality and service. They helped me choose the best cabin for me with their knowledgeable and professional advice. Even offering custom solutions to better suit my requirements. The delivery and installation was handled very efficiently. The cabin has been in situ now for almost 2 years and I could not be happier with it. The after sales service is excellent and I have total confidence in the warranty offered. I could not recommend this company or its products high enough
