Gable End Styles

 
When constructing your log home there are multiple ways to finish an exterior gable or dormer. A log trussed style gable provides an aesthetically pleasing look to a log home while a “post and purlin” style provides an economical and easy to finish log system.
Gable end with log truss style
A gable end log truss provides great curb appeal and becomes an additional interior feature. If budget constraints limit the use of full logs, a similar appearance can be achieved with our log siding. Once applied, only you will know it's simulated.
Gable end with log post and purlin style
The log post and purlin roof system is used most often on the gable ends and as intermediate bearing point throughout the upper floor. This system provides excellent structural bearing, simple finish framing and plenty of design flexibility.
Gable and Dormer System Includes:

  • Exterior Finish (1x6 T&G Pine, Hand Split Cedar Shakes or Log Siding)
  • 2x6 Exterior Stud Walls @ 16” on center
  • 3/8” Exterior Sheathing
  • 15# Felt Paper
  • Poly Vapor Barrier
  • R-20 Batt Insulation
Roof Dormer

 
A roof dormer add a distinctive style and balance to the upper rooflines of the structure. In addition to aesthetic appeal it is a cost effective way to increase upper floor space. Inexpensive and easily installed, our most popular dormer style includes log corner posts with 1x6 tongue and groove pine siding (see below). If you purchase our Optional Materials package, our dormer systems include all the building materials necessary for a complete lock-up / dry-in.
