This is such a great idea! It is sort of two of the shed type cabins that are put together onsite. That way, instead of only 12 or so feet wide, they are a full 24 feet wide, which is so much more practical to work with!<\/p>\n

When made with two 40-foot long segments, you have a 960 square foot shell that you can arrange inside any way you want.

The two sections are made inside a warehouse, so they are not exposed to the elements as they are built.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here is one side under construction. The use standard materials, 16 on center 2x4s and 3\/4″ tongue and groove plywood subfloor.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Each section is 12-feet wide and up to 40 feet long.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This one is 40 feet long on each side. You can choose other lengths.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Each side is completed in the warehouse, then joined on location.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here is the other side, being built in a warehouse.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The buildings are constructed with 2×4 16″ on center walls, ceiling trusses and floor joists with 3\/4″ T&G plywood subfloor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Once the two sides are completed, they are clad in half-log siding, so they look like log cabins.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Using two sections creates a practical 960 square foot shell that can be finished inside any way you want.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is the other side. The two sides can be transported to your location, then assembled onsite. You can add options and I think I would opt for another door.<\/p>\n
