Making some extra space shouldn’t have to be super complicated and you shouldn't have to be a skilled carpenter to accomplish your goal of building a small structure. Sawmill Structures supplies you with everything you will need to assemble a beautiful and functional structure that is finished inside and out when you are done putting it together. Best of all is we take all of the guess work, measuring, framing and cutting out of the equation! Yes thats right, there is no complicated framing involved thats because all of our kits utilize a very simple locking log construction. You literally just stack up all of the pre milled interlocking pieces to form the walls and gable ends! Everything fits together perfectly right out of the kit with minimal fasteners required. No cutting or measuring required. The whole structure comes perfectly flat packed in a uniformed pallet so we can ship it to you anywhere. You get a detailed step by step manual plus every major part is ID numbered so you know exactly where everything goes during the assembly process.

You get everything you need in the kit - Windows with screens, Doors, Pine Floors, Pine Ceilings, Walls, Gable end and roof beams, all already cut to size.

Typically most models can be assembled in a day or two with a couple of people. Larger structures may take a little longer. there is a build time estimate on the product page for each model.

We realize not everyone has the time for a DIY project so we also offer you the choice to purchase an assembly package in most areas and we will come and assembly everything for you on your foundation base. Plus we supply and install an Ondura (www.ondura.com) roof when you choose an assembly package. Another option is you can also source a local independent contractor to assemble the kit for you. You even have a rough idea of how much to pay your contractor based on our proven assembly prices. You will need to have the level base complete before we arrive.

Shingles are possible options however sheet style roofing is much easier to install on these structures.

Electrical can be easily achieved inside and outside the structure using conduit or baseboard boxes. There are no interior wall cavities to fish wires through.

The solid wood InterStack Log™ wall system we use to create the main structure of our kits ranges in thickness from 44mm to 90mm thick (depending on the model) The R value of softwood is rated at roughly 1.41 per inch or 1.41 per 2.54 cm However the real hero with solid wooden log structures is the walls thermal mass properties.

When the interior space of your structure is heated the walls act as thermal mass ( think of a large natural thermal battery) Your heat source warms the air and in turn the wood walls absorb and retain a certain amount of that heat and is able to release it back into the structure over time. This is something typical forms of insulation can not do and is unique to solid wood or stone structures. Given the thermal mass properties mentioned we do not feel it is imperative for you to insulate the walls of your structure.

If desired you may elect to insulate the roof of your structure from the outside. This can easily be done by strapping the outside roof with additional lumber and laying in rigid foam insulation panels before you install your chosen roof coverings. This method will help eliminate heat escape in colder climates and reduce the heat intake in warmer climates. This outside insulating method will also allow you to maintain your beautiful interior pine ceiling.

You may choose to also insulate the floor by installing rigid insulation panels into the floor cavity before you apply the floor boards. A quality and appropriate matched heating or cooling source will keep you comfortable in most climates all year long.

Most clients are very happy enjoying their structures with no insulation at all however its your choice to decide what suites your needs

It is important to protect the EXTERIOR of your new structure. We highly recommend Cutek Extreme which is a super penetrating oil product. It is very easy to apply with a brush and takes about 90 minutes to complete the exterior. Cutek offers super protection from the elements while providing a beautiful luster to our wood. One Gallon of Cutek Extreme typically is enough for two coats on most structures. Tints are available if desired but we love the natural tone.

IMPORTANT: The interior of your structure does not require any wood protection other than adding a polyurethane to the floor and or ladder to avoid scuffing

The cost will depend on size and complexity of the structure.
