They are made of kiln dried spruce and pine. The logs have a deep tongue & groove, so no seal is required. Kits for larger cabins include threaded steel rods or logs screws to keep the logs tight.<\/p>\n

The cabin is 437 square feet. It is a smaller cabin that can be built by nearly anyone, as long as you have some construction knowledge. The kit is pre-trimmed. There is virtually no cutting and no heavy equipment is required for assembly.<\/p>\n

The first two rows of logs are attached to the wood floor using provided anchors, screws and brackets.

Interlocking corners make the construction robust and easy to assemble.

If you review the plans in advance and lay out the materials, construction should be straightforward. Just be sure to square and level as you go.<\/p>\n

Windows and doors do not get attached to the logs. They float in the rough openings to allow for wall shrinkage.
They are held in place by the inner and outer trims sandwiching the logs. After one year they can be fastened permanently.
