Log Cabin Siding

This could be a great thread that could benefit from photos????? I'd love to see examples of this siding in photos.

Great topic.

Here are before and after shots of my chalet/cabin. The project included adding a screen porch with an office above it, a new roof, and the log siding.

Thanks everyone. It is a 3-season screen porch with an office above it.

If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay per foot on the log siding? I need to build a shed ASAP and since it is not a lot of material needed to do a 10'x12' shed it is not worth me bringing it down from Canada.

I originally had plans and a quote done for a log shed to match my house, but the manufacturer does not have any other loads coming to NH any time soon and it is not cost effective to have it hauled from Canada alone.

In November 2007 I paid .71 per foot plus a $75 milling set up charge.

I recommend cutting out the middle man and buy directly from the mill.

Cut, milled and delivered locally. At the current fuel prices, this should make a difference.

There is a vinyl log siding (vinyllogsiding.com). The look of logs without the maintenance. Just another option. I know some may feel it is an oxymoron.

Land Ark Oils are fantastic for preserving wood siding like this as well.
