How Do You Build A Camping Cabin?
Constructing a camping cabin not only creates a quiet retreat, but also strengthens family relationships. Make this cabin a family project and make everyone a part of this lasting experience. With some careful preparation and a little patience, anyone can build a place to escape. Call local officials and ask about any building codes and required permits. Sketch the site plan for a 8×12 foot cabin. Place the building, on the property sketch, with consideration of the view. Mark the placement of the door and any windows. Visit the cabin’s location with the site plans. Use spray paint to mark any trees which need to be cleared along with the cabin’s outline. The cabin foundation requires a level surface. If the site is uneven, decide whether to level the area with excavating, stamped gravel and/or a poured concrete foundation. Place one prefabricated, concrete deck block at each corner of the cabin’s foundation. Center another block at the halfway mark between any two corners. Follow suit
