Our lean-to shelters are designed
with the contemporary adventurer in mind
and are built using the traditional
log joinery of 18th century Scandinavia.
Floor sizes range from a cozy
8x12 feet (sleeps up to six persons), to a more spacious 10x16 feet. The roof decking is 1 inch thick rough-sawn pine or hemlock.
We recommend an anodized metal roof that comes in a variety of forest tone colors for our shelters.
From copper to asphalt, other roof options are available at an additional cost.
All of our log notching is scribed and joined with
careful attention to detail.
We hand-peel each log using axes, bark-spuds and draw-knives.
Durable Northern White Cedar
logs are used to construct the
walls and rafters, with White Spruce for the purlins.
Log diameters can vary from
6 to 8 inches for the roof
framing, and 8 to 12 inches
for the walls.
