Log Cabin Base Alternatives

With the current situation we’re all facing, a lot of companies have halted production. Especially in landscaping and laying concrete bases. Understandable of course, but times like these are the best times for some DIY projects to keep you busy. Such as building a Log Cabin, which will definitely keep you busy for a few days at least.

In our Base Requirements for Log Cabins blog post, we cover some of the options for building a level base- Including the traditional timber frame base, concrete bases as well as our Timber frame base pads. But some customers can get creative with their base frames, take a look at this video.

Sent to us by our independent/recommended installer John Heard, this Ben Clockhouse Log Cabin is a Traditional Log Cabin that has been installed on a raised base using rolled steel joists to make this mad but durable Log Cabin base.

This is to show you that you can get creative with your bases. So long it’s level and safe enough to hold up your Log Cabin as well as the people inside. Creativity is your limit.
