Read below to learn even more details about this model, plus you can download useful manuals, spec sheets and foundation base plans.
Foundation
Setting up a foundation base is the first step in starting your project. It is important your structure rests on a level, well-built foundation. Choose a location that has good drainage and allows for adequate clearance around the perimeter.
Your structure can sit on uneven ground as long as you take the necessary steps to level the foundation via footings and posts. There are many types of foundations you may elect to use. You may choose to build our structures on an existing levelled bases or a new level platform such as a deck, patio, driveway, concrete slab or pressure treated timbers on grade.
Our suggestion is for you to construct a very simple wooden pressure treated deck frame supported by footings that best suit your building sites grade and soil conditions.
You may choose to explore various foundation footings types such as professionally installed screw piles, or these impressive DIY screw piles available at www.fastfootings.com or poured concrete sono tubes or suitable on-grade concrete block footings or pads.
We have provided you with a complete detailed building plan to create the wooden deck base foundation for this model. See the “How to assemble resources” section for the foundation base plan download.
Insulation
We are often asked if our structures are insulated. Many of our clients are very happy using our structures with no insulation at all. A decent heat source inside the structure usually is capable to heat up the small space adequately even in colder climates.
The solid wood InterStack Log™ wall system we use to create the main structure of our kits ranges in thickness from 38mm 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
