Our Original traditional classic notch timber system: Developed by a Danish cabinet-maker over 50 years ago, our Classic Timber Building System uses solid sawn Western Red Cedar Timbers joined in an interlocking fashion referred to as the "Classic Notch", to join the timbers into a solid wall system with a rustic appeal. The Classic Timber Building System is our original system that launched Pan Abode Cedar Homes as a recognized leader in fine machined Cedar Homes. Thousands of Classic Timber buildings stand on the planet as a testament to the lasting durability of this traditional horizontal stack application. Undoubtedly you have stayed in a Classic Timber home and have experienced the natural clean atmosphere exuded by the Classic Timber walls.

The exterior and load bearing walls are solid, air-dried timbers in either 4x6 size for single wall applications, or 3x6 for Energy Wall and Tropic applications. Interior non load bearing walls are conventionally constructed.

The incomparably inviting smell of Western Red Cedar wall timbers, coupled with Classic's ageless beauty, remarkable insulating qualities, natural resistance to decay and insects, and exceptional durability create an authentic Cedar Home that is truly delightful.
