Read about the PAN ABODE ADVANTAGE

Whether you are looking to build a couple hundred square foot remote Hunting Cabin, a weekend Cabin of a couple thousand square feet, or a lavish second home vacation retreat, PAN ABODE Cedar Homes has the easy to build Building Systems and the Design expertise to fulfill your discerning needs. For years PAN ABODE has supplied Cabins and High end Homes to our customers all over the planet. We use west coast wood products that are superior in strength, and are proven to stand the test of time.

Building Systems:

We offer many unique Building Systems/styles to accommodate the setting of your cabin project. All embrace the rich warmth of Western Red Cedar and the natural strength of Douglas-fir.

Choose from stacked Western Red Cedar Timber Building Systems (Phoenix, D-Log and Classic) utilizing time tested "ease of construction" techniques for quick structure erection. These systems come precut and part numbered so virtually anyone can assemble these systems without much construction know how. Our Timber systems come in either flat faced profiles, or exterior rounded profiles.

We also offer a Post and Beam Building System for more flexibility and dynamic appeal.

Material Specifications for Cabins:

Standard specifications for all our Building Systems are based on IRC energy code compliant requirements. We also offer "Non Energy Compliant" specifications for those projects not bound by energy requirements. PAN ABODE can custom tailor your project materials to your needs. Visit Materials specifications for a complete description.

Design; Custom or not?

We also offer Custom Design to our customers, choose to modify one of our Standard Plans, or supply a sketch of your own to take advantage of PAN ABODE's ability to custom design the right cabin for you.

You will notice our collection of plans vary from complexity and area. We assume any of our plans can be perceived as a cabin depending on the customer point of reference. Plans of area 1200 square feet and less are "Cabins" to the norm. Our "Eagles Nest" plan series are our cabin plans.
