What Are Modular Log Cabin Homes ?
Modular log cabin homes are log homes that are manufactured in a remote facility and then delivered to their intended site of use.
Typically, dwellings are built to local code, so dwellings built in a given manufacturing facility may have different construction standards depending on the final destination of the modules. For example these modular log cabins are built for final assembly on the Southeast coast may have additional bracing built-in to meet local hurricane codes. These log homes usually lack the shallow sloping roof lines typical of mobile cabins as the roof can be transported separately, from the other components.
The log home exterior finish is usually decided upon only after the size, number of rooms and traffic patterns have been established.
Building a log home can be the most rewarding thing you will ever create (unless you have children), but it can also be the most difficult. So, you’d better have a pretty good idea of what you’re doing before hand or else it could be a total disaster.
White pine siding is often used because it’s easy to work with and offers excellent insulation properties and is cost efficient.
Western red cedar is considered by most to be the premier wood species to use because it lasts longer when properly maintained, has excellent insulating properties, and is naturally decay and insect resistant. It is, however, more costly initially. These modular log cabins have the charming look of a rustic log cabin without the traditional hassles of
Building.
