Our panels within our log home kits are easily assembled with high-grade screws, to make walls in four-foot increments to your desired length. Any type of floor system may be used with the panels. The roof is also in panels for ease of construction. The panels give the appearance of a charming and elegant open beam cathedral ceiling using select knotty pine decking. There are a variety of basic engineered models from which you can choose – a quick and practical small seasonal cabin, a larger cabin partially insulated to increase your seasonal indoor floor space, and, finally, a fully insulated cottage for your year round residential use. These basic models are available in single unit width of 12’, 16’, 20’ and a variety of lengths. Single units can be joined together for an unlimited variety of floor plan layouts. Two roof pitch options are available (6/12 and 12/12), along with other optional items such as loft kits, covered porches, interior knotty pine partition walls, and porches designed for screening.

Our quality log cabin kits and cottage kits are delivered ready to assemble. The panelized engineered cabins and cottages are economical, well made, and easy to assemble; not to mention beautiful. Small cabins kits are available and can be constructed in one day. The unique, well made, and easy to assemble log cabins are perfect for campgrounds, kid’s camps, farms and ranches.

Double-Up Wooden Lofts



Loft and Roof Room Builders
Double Up is a company that gives home owners the opportunity to expand above an existing structure in a more affordable, clean and cost effective way. By adding a roofroom, attic room, loftroom, or timberframe extention.

Double Up uses eco friendly, sustainable materials, and first world building methods to build loft rooms. Construction causes no damage to the environment and is of little inconvenience to the homeowner as there is no need to seek alternative accommodation whilst construction is underway. On average the Double Up timber frame building method is 50% more time and energy efficient than conventional brick and mortar, and far cleaner, as there is no need for big heavy machinery or vehicles. There is also no need to reinforce supporting walls or underpin foundations.

Another benefit of the Double Up building method is the speed at which a structure is erected. An average 80sqm loft room takes 6 weeks to complete. There is no need for the homeowner to move out as building of the roofroom, attic room, loftroom, or timberframe extention continues. The Double Up system is the fastest way to grow your home

Wooden Lofts - Dream above the rest


We are a small family owned Bay Area company specializing in custom built Loft Bed & Outdoor Furniture Kits.

Our Lofts are built with your safety in mind, so we build them to be incredibly sturdy. Our lofts are built using only the best materials available.

Each of our Kits comes complete with all the materials needed to assemble, requiring you to provide only the tools and some muscle to assemble them. Feel free to explore our site, and discover what we can do for you.

Please contact us with any questions.

Why Buy A Loft Bed?

Loft Beds open up small bedrooms, allowing you to make use of the space under the bed which is normally wasted.

Our Twin loft beds open up an additional 26 square feet of space, our Full Loft gives you an additional 33 square feet, and our Queen Lofts open up an additional 38 square feet of living space!

If 2 college students were to utilize two twin lofts in their small dorm room, the extra space created by the loft beds would be the equivalent of adding a 7' x 7' room to their dorm!!

To help you gain the maximum space possible, we customize each loft at no additional charge to fit your mattress thickness and headroom requirements.

Wooden Lofts - Gauteng


1. WHY GO LOFT?
“Quite simply, the LOFT seems to be the perfect living space for modern life. It is (often) based in the city centre, uses recycled space (so we can be stylish and green) and, most important of all, offers what little other residential property can: serious amounts of unadulterated space and light.”


2. IT OFFERS A SOLUTION
We have a surplus of commercial property and a desperate need for residential. Not only in city centres, but also prime areas such as Rosebank, Parktown and Rivonia (Jhb).
The Let's LOFT campaign is all about utilising what we have and creating investment potential.
LOFTS are ideal for dual-purpose living - a space that is equally suitable for work and relaxation.
A lifestyle investment.

3. WE LOVE THE IMAGE :
While it’s bohemian origins (French artists who converted disused factories in Paris in the 1800’s) gave it street cred, it’s portrayal in films such as Wall Street with Charlie Sheen in 1987 and Ghost with Demi Moore in 1990, gave it glamour.
