What is a Log Cabin Shell?

And Why Is It Cheaper Than Site-Built log cabins for sale in North Carolina?

A log cabin shell is literally the exterior log walls or “shell” of a cabin. Log cabin shells do not have anything inside them, aside from logs and walls that serve as weight bearing walls and the slots for different facets of your home. This can be ordered through our contractors.

If you wish to build a custom shell we will will be asking for the specific details related to the land where you are planning to erect your cabin and the style of the cabin that you want.

We will be constructing the log cabin shell on our site or ours depending on what you are looking to get done. If you choose your own land the materials will be shipped to your land to re-constructed. Or for the most amount of savings you can buy a pre-built home or shell on one of our amazing and affordable mountain land lots. Aside from the walls itself, a typical log cabin shell includes log floor joists, log roof beam system, windows and door openings cut in, log stairs, posts and levelers, wall slots, electrical boxes roughed in, and of course, assistance with re-constructing the shell.

To say the least, it is an almost-ready cabin which requires construction of the interior and exterior that doesn’t need logs. And is far more affordable than a fully built home. It also allows you to customize everything thing just the way you like it. Some of the things that are included in a log cabin shell can be the foundation or sub-floor, roof, plumbing, electrical, lumber, paneling, doors and windows, flooring, insulation, decks, partition walls, basement, cabinets, finishing carpentry, excavation, sewer, water, and freight services.

Basically, you will not receive anything from a log cabin shell except for the logs that will be used in your cabin and the standing structure. People may find this as inconvenience because they need to look for other experts who will be constructing the other parts of the cabins for sale, but you need to know that log cabin shell contractors are log smiths.
