It's #TimberTuesday!

Today we're going to talk about choosing the right spot on your property to build your log cabin.

Choosing the perfect spot to build your log cabin is a critical decision that sets the tone for your entire project. Start by considering the natural features of the land, such as the terrain, views, and sun exposure. A south-facing site often provides ample sunlight, which can help with natural heating and energy efficiency.

Think about accessibility as well—whether the location is easy to reach year-round and close to necessary amenities or utilities. Also, account for environmental factors like drainage, soil stability, and wind direction to ensure your cabin's durability and comfort.

Lastly, respect the surrounding environment by blending your cabin harmoniously with nature, preserving the beauty of the landscape while creating your dream retreat. With careful planning, you’ll find the ideal spot that complements your lifestyle and enhances the joy of cabin living!

It's #TimberTuesday!

Today we're going to look at choosing the right logs for each log cabin project.

Building a Cascade Handcrafted log cabin is an exciting project! Choosing the right logs is crucial for the durability, insulation, and aesthetics of your cabin. Here's a detailed guide to help you pick the perfect logs.

1. Wood Species

Western Red Cedar: Renowned for its resistance to decay and insects, it's a top choice for log cabins.

Douglas Fir: Known for its strength and distinctive grain, it's another excellent option.

2. Log Size and Shape

Diameter: Logs should typically be between 10 to 12 inches in diameter for structural integrity and insulation.

Shape: Round logs give a rustic appearance, while milled square or rectangular timbers provide a more uniform look.

3. Moisture Content

Logs should ideally be seasoned or dried to reduce moisture content below 20%. This helps prevent shrinkage, warping, and cracking.

4. Grain and Knots

Choose logs with straight, tight grain for strength.

Avoid logs with large knots or defects, as they can weaken the structure and make the building process more challenging.

5. Pre-cut or Raw Logs

Pre-cut logs: These come with precision cuts and notches, making assembly easier and faster.

Raw logs: They allow for more customization but require more work and expertise to shape.

6. Sustainability

Ensure that the logs come from sustainably managed forests to maintain environmental balance.

7. Local Availability

Cascade Handcrafted Log Homes sources logs locally as Western Red Cedar and Douglas fir grows in BC, Western Washington and Oregon. Western Red Cedar is more stable and has a natural oil content that helps to preserve it. Douglas fir is the strongest so we like to use it for hard working structural elements such as floor and roof beams, although a larger diameter log in cedar will do the job.
