Taking a look at log cabin kits reveals a nicely affordable and easy-to-assemble kit lodge or home that is at once attractive and rustic looking. For those who have always wanted some kind of log cabin but haven’t had a great deal of money to get one, one of these kits can be a very elegant solution to that particular problem.
Almost all such cabin kits are easy to assemble and are very functional. In fact, many of these cabins can serve a wide variety of uses in addition to being a three or even four season home or lodge. Almost all of them are available in standard sizes — which is the reason why they can be packaged into kits — and just about every one can be added to.
What this means is that just about any standard-size cabin kit can be built up into an even larger size kit and in a wide variety of shapes. This includes classic ‘L’ or ‘H’ shapes as well as others, by the way. Many of these cabins are even four-season capable, meaning that they can be used all year round with the right accessories, though the walls are non-insulated.
A really attractive feature of one of these home building cabin cabins is that there’s no drilling or sawing needed, as most of these kits come with panels already almost fully assembled. All that’s needed is to erect the walls and the roof from the nearly-ready-to-go kit that shows up at the doorstep. Almost all can also be assembled fairly quickly, too.
Normally, these kits come with panels that are different on the outside and inside. For example, interior sides will usually be made of or covered over by knotty pine with exterior sides made up of a solid wooden panel that has been cut so that it looks like a series a round logs. It can be quite attractive when done that way, for a fact.
Small cabin sizes can also be put together with only a ladder, a screw gun, a level, a hammer and a chalk line. Usually, 2 to 3 people will be needed in order to assemble the cabin and it can generally be erected and ready to go in about a day. This is for a 12′ x 12′ cabin, with larger cabins or cabins that are shaped differently taking a bit longer.
When it comes to pricing a log cabin kit, know that a 12′ x 12′ version with just the basics will run about USD4200. A 12′ x 32′ kit with just the basics usually comes in at under 00. Add in a couple thousand dollars for some amenities and the fact is that a very large cabin can still be had for well under USD10,000, making one of these kits a real bargain, in truth.
