Pre-cut Logs

What’s Included?
Kiln-dried Logs
Every
Southland log home is placed in a high
temperature Dry Kiln, which removes the water
and moisture from the logs. This greatly reduces
the opportunity for shrinking or settling. Thicker Walls Southland’s round logs are 8-inches thick, which provides 33% more wood than most log homes. This not only looks better, but also saves money in meeting energy code requirements
Pre-cut Log Beam System
We provide
a real log beam system 24” on center between the
first and second floors. It is factory notched
into the sidewalls so there are no unattractive
hangers to cover.
Wherever
you have heated space we use full logs to
maintain the energy efficiency of your log wall
system. We use log siding only in the attic or
by special request. Full Log Gables

seal the joints on your home. nd we use a
special “Southland Tan” color to match the logs.

to cover the girder sill plates and the roof
dormers. This maintains the log look without
having to make special foundation or roof
adjustments. All Southland doors come pre-hung, with low-E Argon filled glass panes with grids and are factory bored for your own locksets. We provide national name brands that are warranted for 10 years.
Windows
Southland’s wood windows come standard with 1” x
6” pine exterior trim, removable grills, and
screens factory installed. They are low-E argon
filled glass panes that provide excellent
insulation. The insulated glass sash has a
lifetime warranty. Upgrades to clad windows are
available by request.
Because we
kiln dry our logs, there is no hauling of water
to your job site. The lower weight requires
fewer trucks, and freight costs can sometimes be
cut in half. Just like a conventional home, a Southland log home can be designed for a variety of foundation types, such as crawlspace, slab, basement or pilings. Our log cabin kits are complete and include: 8" solid wide logs, complete first floor construction including pine flooring, all logs are numbered and pre-cut to fit, exterior windows & doors, interior stud walls, decking and railings for porches, complete roof structure including 30 year shingles, engineered stamped plans ready for building permit (a $4,000 value) and more.
