The Allagash cabin kit model from Barnyard is the perfect embodiment of traditional post and beam log cabin construction. The spacious and sturdy retreat offers all the charm of a real log cabin combined with the latest comforts. With a total of 1,012 square feet over one and a half levels, this cabin kit gives a lot of space to live comfortably throughout the year. So it is a great option for those who want a classic building that harmonizes with the outdoors.
The Allagash cabin kit uses authentic mortise and tenon joinery, which are then secured with hardwood oak pegs. This results in a strong and beautiful frame with no visible fasteners. The heavy Eastern White Pine timbers are smoothly planed. The arched braces and the substantial beams add architectural interest as well as provide the structure with the necessary strength.
The cabin has a roof pitch of 10 12 and extended overhangs that protect the logs from the elements, thus ensuring that the cabin can last a long time even in harsher climates.
An attractive feature that differentiates the Allagash cabin prefab from other is the large 8 foot covered front veranda, offering the ideal spot for unwinding and taking in the views around. The porch roof is harmoniously connected to the main building, forming a nice entry and a covered outside space which basically increases the cabin’s living area. Big windows and high quality doors allow sunlight to enter the inside, further improving the cabin’s cheerful and fresh atmosphere.
The cabin kit features a spacious second floor loft that can be used as additional sleeping or storage space. Moreover, the loft has high ceilings and windows, which keep the area bright and airy. The main level offers tall first floor ceilings, creating a roomy and inviting space. The kit includes detailed plans, such as sealed shop drawings and a foundation layout, thus the owners or contractors can easily carry out the construction.
The insulation of the Allagash cabin kit is one of its strongest points. It is made of code compliant SIP panels that offer very good energy saving for the walls and roof. This means that the cabin will always be cozy inside, no matter if it is situated in a cold snowy region up north or in a warmer southern location. Lakeside, mountain, or forest environments, the kit’s sturdy construction as well as well thought out details make it fit for different places.
One of the main features of the Allagash cabin kit is its versatility. The classic look of the cabin can be easily changed for different purposes: a hunting retreat with direct access to the trails; a lakeside spot for fishing, boating, and relaxing; and a mountain hut for taking in breathtaking views. Its generous size, plus the use of sturdy materials, enables it to be suited for living there all year, short stays, or even as a guest house on big pieces of land. Owner customization is a big part of the cabin since one can change colors, materials, and include or exclude certain features by working with the builder.
Here is the floor plan of the first floor that includes living room, kitchen, dinning room and bathroom.
And the second floor includes a spacious loft bedroom, that has enough space and filled with classic cabin’s charm.
The post and beam Allagash cabin kit is made of first rate materials and traditional techniques, thus the kit offers great value for the money at the price of $107,175. The assembly of the timber frame will be a piece of cake as the sender of the kit has included the plans, oak pegs, and fasteners, together with the remaining items and components ensuring a long lasting legacy cabin.
