Create your own log cabin

A. Adapting an existing model

You have seen a log cabin in our brochure but you want to adapt it.

Take the following steps:

1. Download the construction drawing from our website.
2. Mark your changes on the drawing or use the drawing as a template.

• If you wish, your Lugarde dealer can advise you on the changes you want to make.
• The roof construction has been calculated as standard for shingles and roof tile sheets. If actual roof tiles are to be used, the roof will have to be reinforced. Note: this is not possible on every size of log cabin. Check with your Lugarde dealer.
• The details given on these pages concerning the custom range are all merely guidelines. Lugarde may deviate from these specifications for technical and/or structural reasons. Wherever possible, we will discuss the situation with your dealer and you.

Lugarde adheres to guidelines based on strength calculations and particular standards.

B. Create your own log cabin

You have not found your perfect log cabin, so the solution is to design it yourself.

Follow the steps below:

1. Decide the dimensions you want for your log cabin (front x depth). E.g. 500 x 550 cm, see sample drawing. Dimensions are measured from outer side of wall to outer side of wall, excl. the eaves and excl. the "ears" of the chalet milling.
2. Determine what type roof you want. You have a choice between:
   • Pent roof
   • Flat roof
   • Pitched roof
   • A-symmetric roof

   If you want an A-symmetric or pitched roof, then please indicate a dotted ridge line in your sketch. Also indicate how the ridge should run (for an a-symmetric roof this is not central.

3. Decide whether you want internal walls and, if so, where (wall heights go up to the roof as standard).
4. If you want an mezzanine, indicate this with a cross on your drawing (see sample drawing). In this case, internal walls support the underside of the mezzanine floor.
5. Decide the position of the windows and doors and indicate which type by using the codes which are located at the back of the brochure.
6. Other possible options are:
   • Floor
   • Floor insulation
   • Roof insulation
   • Steps leading to the mezzanine
   • Impregnation with a choice of 4 colours, using plunge method.

If you wish, your Lugarde dealer can advise you on the design of your log cabin.
