Take a Look at the Different Styles for a Log Shed

June 4th, 2010
Tom Razor asked:


A log shed is a great idea, as it can go very well with a log home. They can also work well with homes made of other materials. In fact, this can be an amazing way to show off the beauty of your yard. No one likes to live in a home that is cluttered so give yourself the room you need.

When it comes to finding a log shed, you will be happy to learn that there are quite a few different styles. You may have a preference of one over the other so it is good to know what your options are before you commit to one of them.

The D style appears to be square in shape. However, it is referred to as the D style due to the way in which the logs are flat on three sides. Since the logs are all the same size, the are very easy to put into place. You can also find milled log sheds that have a rounded shape to them. These logs don’t have any tapering on the ends of them.

You may want a round look to your log shed as that is quite common. The ends of all of the logs have been tapered. This type of shed can be more difficult to put together on your own though so keep that in mind.

You may be saying that a log shed definitely sounds great, but what about the expense involved with it? You will be very happy to find there is a way to cut the costs down. It doesn’t involve going with a cheap quality one that won’t last very long. It also doesn’t involve cutting down the size.

Instead, it involves investing a shed kit. This offers you want you need to put the log shed into place anywhere that you would like to. If you can follow simple instructions and use some common household tools then you will have no problem at all getting this accomplished. The end result will be just as nice as if you had a log shed delivered to your home completed intact.

Modular Log Homes Bring Out Simplified Building Process

May 27th, 2010
nutechbuildingsystems asked:


If your idea of log cabins is weekend getaways in some hilltop or forest areas, then you are strongly mistaken. Today more than 80% of homeowners in and around metropolitan regions have modular log homes. These prefab homes are made of packaged, smooth and uniform milled logs. As the milled logs have been smoothened by processing at the saw mills, they are a good choice for easy-to-assemble log cabins. These modular cabin homes have the charming look and feel of rustic log cabin without the traditional annoying factors of main trance and log cabins. After all, not many of us like the idea of traditional log cabins with chinks in the dried mud between the logs to let the cold air.

Modular log homes are made of processed woods. Mainly woods of pine, fir, cedar, and spruce are used for building these types of homes. White pine or western red cedar is considered as some of the premier wood species to build log cabins. Woods are one of most natural and environment friendly resources to build homes. Harvesting these woods would cause less damage to the environment. Moreover, it’s easy to work with woods than with brick, stone or concrete.

There are several advantages of modular log homes. They don’t let humidity to accumulate. The log has the ability to absorb the outside heat and thus act as a good insulator. They also keep the insects away. These log homes don’t decay easily and last for a long time.

Many of you might argue that modular log homes are no match to traditional site-built homes. But you can design the home with your specifications, and can even choose the floor plans according to your choice. You can go with the manufacturer’s plan or can even customize the home design as per your wish.

Although Modular log homes and panelized homes are two different things, they are related in some ways. These factory-built homes use modern methodology and time-tasted building methods to deliver energy efficient and aesthetically beautiful modular homes just like the new-age log cabins.

Panelized homes also offer a great cost saving option. With the modules being built in the closed controlled environment of the factory, there will be minimal material waste.  There will also be reduced onsite labor as the building materials are produced in factories and just need to bring to the actual site for assembling. Due to shorter construction time, you are also saved from paying heavy interests.

Many panelized homes are eco-friendly just like modular log homes. They are made from recyclable materials which are bio-degradable. The prefab homes can even withstand natural disasters like hurricanes or tornadoes. They are affordable, take less time to build and have a range of designs to choose from. These days some manufacturers also bring panelized kit for buyers who want to build their prefab home themselves.
