Hello. I'm looking for design ideas, for a pier and beam foundation for my prefab cabin to sit on. See pic of cabin floor structure in front. Will be getting floor plans for it next week and will post more then.
This cabin will be going into the north woods of Wisconsin. I'm leaning towards a pier and beam design, so plumbing, etc., is more accessible, etc.
How many piers and what size/diameter would be best to have on this project for the above size cabin? Spacing of piers? Perpendicular to those factory beams on bottom or parallel next to them would be best?
and what type of lumber, spacing, etc., would have to be used, thickness, etc? on top of these piers?
Thanks so much! Any ideas are appreciated. Nurse here with basic carpentry skills here.
