House Logs for Log Homes
North Idaho Post & Pole manufactures house logs for log homes, cabins, and custom timber projects. Our logs are commonly used for log home repairs, replacement logs, entry features, and rustic architectural applications for both residential and commercial projects.
Builders, contractors, and property owners rely on us for log home replacement logs that match existing structures, helping restore the strength and character of log homes and cabins.
Located in North Idaho, we supply customers throughout the Inland Northwest and ship logs nationwide, providing high-quality timber materials for projects across the United States.
Please note that while we produce individual logs and custom timber pieces, we do not manufacture complete log home packages.

We produce house logs in a wide range of diameters and lengths to support both large and small projects.
Typical sizes include:
- Diameters: 8” to 18”
- Lengths: 6’ to 32’ (depending on diameter)
If your project requires custom lengths or special sizing, our team can discuss available options based on current timber inventory.
