Lovely..! Really love the massive, rustic cedar posts! You could lay in a matching red or brown brick border around the oustide of the pad to match the roof overhang and add more square footage. Some of the brick border could even be raised up a few courses for seating, banquet with cushions, planters. Nice dark soapstone cap stones would be nice to top off low brick seating portion of border... Hanging the usual sheer panels, and string lighting, would be amazing also! Maybe also massive, rustic chandelier hanging from center.. Such an amazing space, so it's perfect canvas for WHATEVER gets added next..!
Barn Panel, If this is the same stuff we call it T111 here. Is this the same? Regardless, great idea to use it as roofing to expose the underside, I have never seen this before. Great idea!
My brother built a log house years ago, two story with exposed beams on ceiling of the bottom floor. He done the same thing with the T111. Grooves down so the ceiling looked like boards.
@@berealrelentless6237 Gotcha! they are set 3 feet deep on top of 12'' of gravel then 12'' more gravel was added and packed dirt to top off the last 2 feet. The holes were 3 feet across and 4 feet deep to start.
I’m building the same thing out of the same material, how did you support the logs? Did you just dig holes? How deep? Are you worried about wind/storms? I’m almost ready to build and I haven’t figured that out yet. Thanks brother
@@reneekrueger962 Looks great! I was wondering about treating as well and having done for fencing... I tend to like keeping out of the ground even with in ground treatment with cement around that (debatable if better outside of running PVC up out the ground around a bit with a slope around the top). I figured I'll at least pin foot if not footing with a pillar coming out of the ground just to help preserve the wood for longer. Doesn't help with the prices of stuff going up... though for the cement can always do crushed lime and sand with portland to save a little if not just 60/40. I do wonder if can get away with engineering rebar as the pins more cost effectively for pin footing DIY versus using the pipe like the Diamond or other pier systems use.
@@HandyGuy2016 Are you sure? You think that material for a 14x18 would be $3k?? He already has concrete and posts... I've looked at building a pavilion and I think it would cost maybe half of that. Nice work, btw.
@@HandyGuy2016 Hopefully my numbers are right. I went to lowes.com and calculated it. I tink I was around $1,700 with 6x6 posts and roofing.. Mine will be 20x12. Some of the nice looking black hardware gets really pricey.
Is great idea here in South Carolina won't pass inspection you have to have trusses made by a company Whit stamp on it you can't make you own trusses carports or wherever you want to call them you need to get a permit for any building you sit on you property even storages you buy all ready made to they have to have concrete footing I am building a carport with cidar logs and I have to go whit flat roof to avoid paying $130 each trusses you can build and don't said nothing to them but if you need to do any other work electrical or plumbing or any land plot title or wherever the county is involve they make you pay a fine and fix you prior building otherwise you don't get shit done
Nice Job! The look of the dark stain is great & no worries on going to dark it will fade to a lighter color over time same with the tree beams.
Great job! A picnic table would be a nice touch.

It was fun to build and the family really enjoys it.
Love your idea about using the 4” sheathing because u look up and see something pretty
Great build! All around inspirational and well detailed.
Very impressive, love it
Great look & Job.
Great job, looks great!
Thank you
Awesome job!
Thanks, it was a fun winter project for a military friend of mine.
Awesome,unique, and cost affective. My kinda a build!
Thank you
Thank you for your video what an awesome project! Do you have anything similar to this that can be later converted into a cabin home?
Sorry I don't, but that would be a great idea.
Looks good
I like the roof sheating 👍🏼 . Will it hold up the weight of the shingles pretty good?
It's been a year, and it's holding up great!
did you stagger it on a small job like that?

Barn Panel, If this is the same stuff we call it T111 here. Is this the same? Regardless, great idea to use it as roofing to expose the underside, I have never seen this before. Great idea!
Yes, same stuff
My brother built a log house years ago, two story with exposed beams on ceiling of the bottom floor. He done the same thing with the T111. Grooves down so the ceiling looked like boards.
You used 2 2x10x12ft for the sides and the 2x10x16 and 2x10x10 for the top one but what board length did you use for the front and back?
16' cut down to 14'
Great video,I'm planning on the same pavilion,,so when you place the logs in the ground,any waterproofing,? thanks
Yes, we used a tar coating and a gravel bed at the bottom to allow water drainage.
I love the log beams, curious how they were mounted, secured, what have you? working on a similar idea,
Lag Screws
@@HandyGuy2016 Im sorry, I was reffering to the Log Posts, I assume you have them secured in ground somehow, even though they are sturdy AF. ha

Beautiful work you are very skilled. Did you design this yourself and approx. how much was the materials cost? Thank you
Yes, I designed it but it is very basic. Current material costs, no labor, $3,500.
where did you buy that kind of playwood i cant find it
Home Depot
Awesome job ! How tall are the logs?
They are 12'
I would like to hear some of your ideas on a similar build I am going to attempt using utility poles.
Utility poles would be perfect.
I’m building the same thing out of the same material, how did you support the logs? Did you just dig holes? How deep? Are you worried about wind/storms? I’m almost ready to build and I haven’t figured that out yet. Thanks brother
The logs are 3 feet in the ground, sitting on gravel, and gravel about a foot up then dirt the last 2 feet.
HandyGuy 2016 WOW that was a quick response THANK YOU SIR! No concrete... I like it!
Smart use of t111 siding much cheaper than osb
Very cool, what did you prep the cedar post to put in the ground with to keep from rotting?
Tar coating and gravel bed to allow water to drain away.
@@HandyGuy2016 I've seen that done with the gravel. Did you cement it or just bary It in the ground after putting the tar on!
@@georgewilliams6328 buried in gravel about 12" then packed dirt 2'
Looks great.

How did you anchor those logs to the ground?
The are set 3 feet deep in gravel and packed clay/dirt.
What length nails did you use? I'm planning on doing pretty much the same thing and don't want my nails to show through the T111 from underneath.
1" I believe.
If doing a metal roof, would you have nailed on 2x before hand?
At least 1x4's
Great video 👍👍
How did you notch the tops of the logs so the cuts all line up all the way down?
I used a string level all the way around the tops.
@@HandyGuy2016 thanks so much! This is a great project. Beautiful!
What do you reckon cost would be for a 14 × 18. would cost if we already have the tree post & concrete poured?
Around $3000 plus labor would be a rough estimate.
@@HandyGuy2016 tks

Good project, but my opinion is that there was way too much chat and not enough "doing" shots!

That sucks, I'm thankful it's not that way here.
