Core offering

PAN ABODE Homes manufactures pre-cut, pre-numbered cedar home and cabin building kits (dried-in structural shells) under four proprietary systems: Post & Beam, Phoenix Timber, D-Log Phoenix Timber, and Classic Timber. Each package includes the floor system, exterior walls, windows, doors, interior partitions, roof system, hardware, trim, and permit-ready plans; a free custom design consultation is bundled with every package. Kits are sold direct or through authorized dealers worldwide.

Product overview

PAN ABODE Homes is a cedar home and cabin kit manufacturer founded in 1952, offering four distinct building systems: Post & Beam (modern Douglas Fir glulam structural matrix with cedar siding), Phoenix Timber (kiln-dried laminated rectangular Western Red Cedar wall timbers joined by Phoenix Column connectors), D-Log Phoenix Timber (D-shaped laminated cedar log profile for log-home aesthetics), and Classic Timber (original interlocking air-dried cedar notch system from the 1940s). Products are sold as pre-cut, part-numbered 'Dried-in Shell' building kits — structural packages including floor system, exterior walls, windows, doors, roof, trim, and permit-ready plans — with a free Custom Design consultation bundled with every package. Building systems are available as Home Kits (IECC-compliant, full-year use) or Cabin Kits (including non-compliant Seasonal Cabin Kits for temporary/off-grid use), plus ADU/DDU packages. The company ships worldwide and provides technical support throughout the build process.

Products and services

• Post & Beam Building System Pre-cut Post & Beam structural matrix using overhead Douglas Fir glulam beams on posts and stud framing, clad in Western Red Cedar exterior siding with exposed Douglas Fir beam ceilings; allows expansive open spaces and walls of glass. Described as the most economical and versatile of PAN ABODE's four systems.
• Phoenix Timber Building System Contemporary solid-timber system using kiln-dried, rectangular laminated Western Red Cedar wall timbers (5-lam or 3-lam) joined by patented Phoenix Column connectors with laminated hand-finished Douglas Fir columns and beams. Engineered for stability against differential settlement, earthquakes, and hurricane-strength winds.
• D-Log Phoenix Timber Building System Phoenix Timber variation featuring kiln-dried, D-shaped laminated Western Red Cedar wall timbers (5-lam with 4-1x cedar and 1-2x pine laminations) for log-home exterior aesthetics with flat interior walls; eliminates the chinking, leaking, and settling issues of conventional log construction.
• Classic Timber Building System Original interlocking timber system developed in the 1940s by a Danish cabinet-maker; uses solid, air-dried Western Red Cedar wall timbers with the Classic Notch interlocking joint, available in 4x6 single wall or 3x6 for Energy Wall and Tropic applications. Marked by rustic elegance.
• Home Kits (Year-Round Residential) Pre-cut structural building shell material kits engineered for permitting and compliant with IECC Energy Codes for year-round residential use. Includes floor system, exterior walls with siding, windows, doors, interior walls, roof system, hardware, trim, and permit-ready construction plans.

• Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) / Detached Dwelling Unit (DDU) Building Packages Building packages compliant with Washington State House Bill 1337, allowing up to two ADUs per single-family lot within Urban Growth Areas with a 1,000 sq ft minimum size requirement.

• Commercial Structures Custom commercial building design and structural shell packages using PAN ABODE's building systems, including Post & Beam for expansive open commercial spaces such as lodges, field centers, and hospitality buildings.
• Building Products (Maintenance Supplies) Wide variety of building products including cedar maintenance supplies, stains, sealers, and miscellaneous construction materials, sold to Pan Abode customers and the general public for home maintenance.
• Custom Home Guide (Literature Package) $15 paid literature package including an Idea Book with 70+ standard home plans, US pricing, and material specifications, plus a 56-page Photo Album. Sold plus shipping.
