Foundation for Certified Cabins

Certified homes are required to go on block or concrete foundations. Full basements are also acceptable. Center of double wide cabins require pillars approximate every 8' or steel beam.

Sill Plate Requirements

Log cabins going on foundation require pressure treated sill plates. Anchor bolts must be counter sunk and be cut flush with top of sill place.

Installation crew will fasten cabin to sill plate before installing bottom row of log siding. The two halves of the double cabins are lagged together.

Delivery of Cabin

Log cabins are delivered on large truck and trailer. These trucks require good access roads.

Crane Required to Install Cabins

Cranes are required to install cabins on block foundation. Our double wide cabins include $1,500 for crane cost. If you wish to provide the crane, we can deduct $1,500. Our single wide cabins do not include crane cost in base price. If crane is needed for single wide cabins, the crane cost will be added to price.

Space Required for Crane

A crane normally requires an area 40' x 40' next to the foundation. This area needs to be completely clear overhead, including power lines and tree branches, and must be decently level grade. It is a good idea to have the crane operator or anther experienced person check out the area before delivery.

Electric Package Certified Cabins

Certified homes require electric do be installed and tested during manufacturing of cabins. Receptacles, lights, fans are all installed and tested before shipment. An electrician is required to hook service up to panel box. Panel box, lights, and receptacles can all be modified to fit your needs and the layout of your lot.
