Cascade Handcrafted is known for building stunning log and timber frame homes—but their gazebos and pavilions are just as impressive. These outdoor structures are more than just shade and shelter. They’re an extension of your home, designed to bring indoor comfort to outdoor living.
British Columbia is home to some of the most beautiful forests in the world. These forests are not just scenic—they are also a key part of Canada’s efforts to fight climate change. One way people are helping the planet is by building log homes. You might be surprised to learn that log homes can actually leave a smaller carbon footprint than many modern houses.
Every log has a story. You can see it in the lines, knots, and curves that run across its surface. At Cascade Handcrafted, we call these natural features timber tattoos. They are the marks left behind by time, weather, and growth—and they make each log one-of-a-kind.
Some logs have deep grooves where branches once grew. Others show scars from wind, snow, or even lightning. These marks are not flaws. They are signs of strength. They show how the tree stood tall through seasons of change.
