Competitive Advantages of
Lincoln Log International Homes

Your Dream Home Comes True

What Differentiates “Lincoln Log Homes” from other
Log Home and Cabin Kit Manufacturers?

No. 1 - THE LOG HOME PACKAGE. Lincoln Logs goes above and beyond that of other log home and cabin kit manufacturers by providing a cost effective log home package. We sell only what the customer cannot purchase directly from local building suppliers...exterior log walls and optional, interior log walls. Many of our log home and cabin competitors sell a variety of materials along with the log cabin home kit; trusses . . . decking . . . roofing . . . insulation . . . interior walls . . . windows . . . doors . . . flooring, and other items. The buyer thinks that such an offering is beneficial to him. It definitely is not. We provide the product which provides the buyer the most economical benefit.

In most cases, additional materials being shipped require extra trucks . . .at extra cost to the buyer. Other log cabin home manufacturers providing these home kit options often ship a lower grade material. Should the buyer wish to return any part of the purchase, it becomes impractical because of the distance from the factory from which it was purchased. Finally, be assured that no log cabin kit manufacturer will sell any item without a mark up to cover his profit, handling and purchasing costs. The bottom line is that you can purchase material locally from Lowes, Home Depot, or a similar source for less money while selecting the quality which suits your needs.

Then, there is the necessity of storing the materials that would arrive at the same time the log cabin home kit arrives. Unless the cabin materials are stored correctly in a building that offers protection from the elements, trusses warp; doors warp; windows break and warp; decking warps, and material often is stolen from the job site. Most buyers do not have a dry storage place, so it is only sensible to purchase “finish up” materials as they are needed . . . locally.

You will save money by purchasing locally... not be required to store materials... and have reduced shipping costs.

A Distinct Lincoln Log Home Advantage

No. 2 - THE LOG HOME KIT OPTION. Only with Lincoln Logs does the buyer have the following two options:

To purchase in log home kit form; pre-cut logs which are assembled at the building site.
To purchase pre-assembled log walls; where the logs are assembled at our factory.
In log home kit form, the individual logs are pre-cut to size, and pre-numbered. A stack sheet is furnished for each wall. Blueprints are drawn for each house and accompany the log home kit. In addition, an instructional video tape is available to every Lincoln Log purchaser upon request.

Two people can easily construct a Lincoln Log wall. They don’t need any building experience. The process is simple. We show our customers how to build the walls. The customer’s involvement is called “sweat equity” resulting in a much lower construction cost.

The pre-assembled wall option: Should the buyer choose the pre-assembled option, at an additional cost, each wall comes to the building site already assembled. At time of delivery, the walls are set by crane onto the foundation. The rafters and/or trusses and sheathing can be set at the same time. When the crane pulls away, the house is “in-the-dry.” The buyer proceeds with the finishing of the log home at his desired pace. All remaining work is conventional carpentry. The benefit is increased speed of erection and convenience.

NO. 3 – OTHER EXCLUSIVE FEATURES. Lincoln Logs offers so much more than other log home and cabin kit manufacturers. . .other exclusive features include:

bulletExclusive “Weather-Lok Corners”. The logs are machined to close tolerance. The whole log interlocking corners offer stability unsurpassed in the log home and cabin industry.
 
bulletExclusive “Weather-Lok Grooves”. Top and bottom of each log is v-grooved to accommodate a one inch diameter polyethylene backer rod. The groove ensures the proper horizontal placement of this insulation in the center of the log, sealing out the weather and sealing in the heat. Some other log cabin home manufacturers have a similar but smaller groove . . however, the groove extends to the end of each log, even at the corners. This forms a trough for water to run into the corners. NOT SO WITH LINCOLN. WE STOP THE GROOVE AT THE INSIDE OF THE CORNER. This technology is far better in eliminating water seepage. Furthermore, the “weather-lok” corners are more aesthetically pleasing.

As you can see, nobody pays more attention to detail than Lincoln Log Homes. Over thirty years of experience, complemented by a talented and committed staff, assures you of the finest quality yellow pine log home on the market today . . .at the lowest possible cost when compared to other log cabins or homes of similar quality.

Buy Quality . . . Five years from now you will be glad that you did!
