Log Home Material Packages

Fireside Log Homes is a manufacturer and builder of high quality log homes. We understand that customers’ needs vary greatly from one person to another. You may be physically building your own home or you may want to sit back, relax, and let someone else do all the work for you (turn-key). We might be shipping you a package several hundred miles away to another state. In this instance, it may make more sense for you to purchase certain items locally to save you some money.

To accommodate the many different scenarios that come with building a log home, Fireside offers three different materials packages. Any one of these packages can be easily modified to fit your needs.

Log & Beam Package:
This package contains just what it implies: logs for all log walls, beams and rafters for the loft and/or roof system. It also includes gasket material, Permachink stack-N-seal caulk, and 3/8” lag bolts.

Standard Package:
Our standard package comes with everything needed to complete a basic “dry-in.”

Enhanced Package:
Our most complete package includes everything that you need for a complete dry-in. In addition to the standard packages components, this package also includes the following: upgrade to full log gables, heavy timber porch roof package, deck package, upgrade to an engineered floor truss, upgraded windows & exterior doors, interior doors, interior T&G wall paneling, and interior trim.
