We Recommend a Barndominium
This new prefab housing trend is taking off and has quickly become our top recommendation for Canadians.
Log homes are built by stacking and interlocking logs or timber beams. They provide a unique rustic look and are often popular in rural locations for homes, cabins, bunkies and cottages.
There are two main types of wood homes we'll include here:
- Log homes - These are homes with entire logs stacked to form the walls of the house.
- Timber homes - These are beams which have been cut to a uniform size at a saw mill.
Creating a home from logs is the original method and has been used for thousands of years. Construction can be difficult however since the logs weight hundreds of pounds and require a lot of carving given that each one is unique.
Timber beam homes is a more popular approach these days as it provides a more refined look and is easier to assemble. This is a popular choice for those who want to build the home themselves. The entire building stacks together like Lincoln Logs!
