Historic Facts,
Frontier Logs

Yes. Our siding is made from Douglas Fir — authentic wood, crafted to preserve the natural character and durability of traditional log construction. It works on interiors and exteriors to create a historic feeling throughout the home.

Pioneer Log Siding is handcrafted, square-log siding that gives your home the authentic look of a traditional log cabin — without the cost or maintenance of full log construction.

Great question. You get the same authentic square-log cabin appearance — without the constant upkeep and cracking issues. Any cracks that do appear only add to the realism. And unlike round log siding, Pioneer recreates the true square-log look. Most folks can’t tell the difference.

It’s not just siding — it’s a transformation. We specialize in turning ordinary homes into something timeless, warm, and visually striking. Every board is hand-hewn, age-stained, and unique. No factory-milled beveled edges, no two boards alike.

Absolutely. Almost any home — stucco, vinyl, metal, foam SIPs, even existing round logs — can be transformed into a beautiful square-log-style cabin using Pioneer Log Siding. Any professional builder or capable homeowner can do it. The typical approach uses 2″×4″ vertical strips over the existing surface.

Absolutely not. Pioneer siding is just another layer of protection and strength. Our siding has been installed over many existing homes and converted them into log cabins. We’re not builders — we’re suppliers — but the process is well-trodden by contractors who’ve done it for years.

Of course. With basic construction experience, installation is very doable in a few days instead of weeks or months. Many homeowners and contractors install it successfully in a short time. Check our five-step install guide for the full walkthrough.

Yes. Older homes are excellent candidates for complete transformation with Pioneer Log Siding — interior and exterior — and the upgrade increases home value. One customer, a doctor named Rob Thomas, built his home including Pioneer Log Siding for $380,000 and was later offered $1,000,000 lock, stock, and barrel. (It didn’t hurt that it sat close to his favorite golf course.)

Just about anywhere. We’ve seen Pioneer go on:

• New construction
• Remodels
• Suburban homes
• Mountain homes
• Vacation properties
• Commercial projects
• Mobile homes
• Tiny houses
• Barns, garages, and sheds

Decades with no upkeep. Unlike traditional log homes, Pioneer Log Siding is designed to last for decades with little to no maintenance. Over time, it naturally weathers into a richer, more historic log cabin appearance. If you ever want it new again, you can restain it — but most owners love the aged pioneer look and let it ride.

Months early. We recommend ordering 3 to 4 months in advance unless our production chart is light. Order early to lock in your slot, especially during busy seasons — winter through spring and into early summer. Every piece is custom-crafted, and the chart fills quickly.

Certainly. Send us your elevation plans, photos, and measurements, and we’ll help you determine the amount needed for your project. The home page also has a self-serve estimator — add your items and see the total at the bottom. Building an estimate doesn’t place an order until you’re ready.
