Walls are secured with included timber lock screws and through bolt construction.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cabin Kits
Do you have floor plans I can select from?
We have a few floor plans you can select from, these are designed to give you the most bang for your buck. But you are not limited to these, we can build you a kit from your plans or help you design one.
What types of wood do you offer?
We have pine and Douglas Fir available. We use air dried or kiln dried square logs.
What type of packages do you offer?
We make things easy; we start with a wall only package and then add more features from there. We offer flooring, roof systems, T&G products, ship lap, interior wall options, any additional beams or lumber you might need to build your project.
There are just as many types of packages as there are sellers. Every builder uses different terms for there package types, be sure to ask what’s included.
What advantages do you offer?
Price is one of our best advantages. We also offer an easy reassembly process, the use of big oversized timbers, we manufacture all of the wood products we use, and we have friendly staff ready to help you.
Where are you located and where can you ship to?
We are based in Parma Idaho. The kits are made here at our facility and can be shipped anywhere your project is located. Distance from our facility is not a problem.
What comes with your kits?
We do our best to describe everything that you get in each of our many kits. Generally, we include the lumber, hardware, and specialty products such as seal tape to assemble your kit.
What do you have for roof systems?
Here you have a couple main options, standard roof trusses and timber roof system. Many of our customers choose to use standard roof trusses to make building quicker and permits easier. If you want a timber roof system, we will have it designed by a licensed engineer. If you choose standard trusses we can provide you with timbers to add as exposed beams for the appearance.
Do I need a builder?
Our packages are designed to be simple to put together. Many of our customers are the “do it yourself” type and like the chance to be hands on. We can help guide you in your building experience or help you find a qualified builder if you’re not ready to tackle a home build on your own.
How do you run electrical and plumbing?
In log homes plumbing and electrical must be well thought out. Most will get run in the interior walls, roof, and floor. The rest can be hidden with trim, run through holes drilled as the package is assembled, or run “industrial” style.
Will my logs settle?
We use air dried or kiln dried logs to reduce settling. However, wood will experience some shrinking and expanding with the seasons. Our kits are built with room above doors and windows to alleviate pinching.
How long will it take to build my kit?
We are a small company, so our schedule can get filled up fast. We do everything we can to get your kit out to you in a time frame that works for you. Its best to plan ahead and give us as much time as you can. Generally, a few months is best, but if you need it faster, we can look at your needs and let you know if we can accommodate.
How long will it take to assemble my kit?
This will greatly depend on the size and complexity of your kit, your skill level, how many people you have to help, and environmental factors. We have had customers that have built their kit in a long weekend to some have taken the whole summer to assemble it on their weekends.
How does the financial transaction work?
We use a 10/30/30/30 payment plan for our cabin kits. 10% is due up front to get your project on our schedule and get the construction documents together. The next installment is due when we are ready to put your kit into production. When the project is half completed, we will send you progress reports and the next 30% payment is due. The final payment is due once the kit is finished and ready for delivery or pick up.
One note is if we are designing you a custom plan and having an engineered roof system designed the fist payment might be adjusted to cover this increased expense.
What forms of payments do you except?
Payments can be made in the form of cashiers check, wire transfer, or cash. Credit card can be used with a small processing fee. Personal checks can be used but the project will be delayed until the check clears.
How warm are log homes?
There is some misleading information out there. Logs provide approximately 1.5 r value per inch of wall. While this might not seem too impressive, the log wall offers thermal mass. Thermal mass absorbs heat and radiates it back. So, log homes tend to stay very warm in the winter and are easy to cool in the summer.
Do you offer Timber framed or exposed beam structures?
Yes. We are happy to build you a Post and Beam style timber frame, or work with you on an exposed beam concept in your structure.
What type of quality can we expect?
We are a budget minded company, but we achieve this by; limiting the options we have, working with simple construction designs, milling all our wood products, and keeping our overhead at a minimum.
We offer top quality hardware and specialty supplies. We start with high quality logs and cut them for the best results. Our experience sawyers mill them into top quality timbers for your project. When you put all this together you get a beautiful, well built, comfortable, long lasting cabin at a very reasonable cost.
