Log Cabin Cross Section of Package Components


Package Components
All log home packages are not created equal, varying considerably from log home manufacturer to log home manufacturer. The Country Log Cabins standard package starts as a complete package; however, the customer has the option of deleting any of the materials from the package for a credit. Customers also have the option of substituting alternate materials that are available.
