How to make your exterior look like a log cabin
Did you know that you can redo the exterior of your home or cottage in log siding or Adze/Appalachian siding? This will let you keep the existing structure and simply change the appearance of the outside to that of a log cabin. This has the added benefit of allowing you to keep the interior the same or do some remodeling. We offer a few different options for log siding in Pine and Cedar. In Pine, we offer 2x6 and 2x8 siding and in Cedar, we offer 2x6, 2x8, and 3x8 siding. The smaller profile 2x6 will look the least like full logs and the 3x8 will look the most like real full logs.
Our Adze/Appalachian siding is made from 1x12 pine that we add a hewn texture to. This creates a beautiful option for those who want a rustic wood exterior look but not the appearance of round logs. Check out this before and after transformation with our adze siding!
We have multiple corner options to choose from that can go with either of the siding choices. Our most popular corner options are solid vertical corners and butt and pass corners. For the Adze siding, the dovetail but and pass corners look incredible!
Depending on the look you're going for, our Ghostwood is a great interior and exterior product! By far our most popular colors are bannack brown and silver city in a 1x8 shiplap.
