ASSEMBLY
All cabins and cottages come in
panels, which eliminates pieces and
the high cost of labor. Assembly
is a simple and unique process.
Each four foot panel is fastened
to another panel with high-grade
screws which have a special coating to prevent rust and corrosion.
Each wall panel is numbered to
correspond with a diagram in
the instructions. Windows and doors
can be placed in most panels giving
you design flexibility. Special
panels are available to accommodate
sliding glass doors or French doors.
The roof is also in panels for ease of
construction, and are all the same to
prevent confusion during assembly.
The roof panels give the charm
and elegant appearance of the open
beam ceiling with select knotty pine
decking. Cabins & Cottages are
structurally engineered to meet
building code requirements for
your location.
Due to ease of assembly and functional structure, our cabins and
cottages can serve a multitude of
uses. Our kits come in standard shell
sizes. You can add to a standard shell
size to make an L, T, +, H or U shape
