Today, there is a community of folks passionate about what you could call cabin culture, as typified by the wildly popular Tumblr site Cabin Porn and the photo book of the same name. The coffee table book and the website feature seemingly endless images of log cabins of all shapes, sizes, styles and locations.
Researching Cabin Pictures
The popularity of these cabin image collections seems to speak to a desire many of us have to get away from it all, in a serene setting surrounded by the stillness of nature. The styles and construction of the cabins themselves range widely, from rustic, to artsy, to modern and everything in between. And the cabins are located in areas across the globe, including ocean coasts, ancient forests, and rolling, hilly valleys.
The New York Times* reports that the Tumblr page and the book was created by entrepreneur Zach Klein, who, among other accomplishments, is the co-founder of Vimeo. You can see his collection of images on Tumblr and see photos of his own cabin renovation project in New York state.
Making Your Cabin Dreams a Reality
Now that you’ve looked at the photos, researched the locations, and thought about what your dream getaway would be like, start making that dream a reality with TruLog™ steel log siding! Though websites and photo books can paint an idealized portrait of log home living, the fact of the matter is that these types of cabins require routine maintenance: to stain and re-seal the wood, and to replace any damaged logs. With TruLog™ steel log siding, enjoy the following benefits:
- Build your getaway where you want – TruLog™ can be shipped to construction sites throughout the country, and is easily installed on a variety of structures
- Spend more of your time enjoying your getaway – instead of renovating an old log cabin or spending your time maintaining it over the years, you can optimize your time with your family, friends and the great outdoors by choosing maintenance-free TruLog™ siding
- Live the streamlined, simplified and back-to-nature lifestyle you want – TruLog™ siding provides all the benefits of an energy-efficient, 100% recyclable, durable, and carefree siding material
