Post and Beam Homes: Log or Timber Frame?
Log post and beam homes are very similar in structure to timber post and beam homes. Your selection of log versus timber however is often dictated by personal style. Choose handcrafted log for a rustic appearance and timber frame for a more refined look and feel.
Handcrafted Log Post and BeamWith log post and beam construction, you can enjoy the inviting warmth of a log home without full log walls. Incorporating rustic, handcrafted log posts and beams throughout the main living areas can give your home an authentic mountain style appearance.
The design example to the left uses a combination of log posts, rafters, purlins and ridge beams. View the Cedar Falls post and beam plan.
