The Entrance Montana Is Known For

A full log archway is the most iconic ranch entrance there is: two massive uprights, a log beam overhead, and your ranch name hanging where everyone driving by can read it. It’s rustic, permanent, and unmistakably western.

We handcraft log archways from local timber for ranches, cabins, and luxury properties across Southwest Montana — near Bozeman, Livingston, Paradise Valley, Big Sky, and beyond.

Real Logs, Real Engineering

A log archway is a structure, and we build it like one:

  • Sound, full-dimension logs selected for the span and the look
  • Footings below frost depth, so the arch stands plumb through every freeze-thaw cycle
  • Clearances designed for your equipment — hay trucks, trailers, RVs, plows
  • Water-shedding details that protect the wood where weather attacks it
  • Rustic or finished — leave the character natural or stain for depth

Complete the Entrance

Log arches pair naturally with:

From a Sketch to Standing Timber

Tell us the look you’re after — classic working ranch, hunting camp, luxury rustic — and we’ll design the arch, mill and prepare the timber, pour the footings, and stand it up. One crew, start to finish, with free design consultations and estimates.

Log Archways — Questions We Hear a Lot

Where do the logs come from?

Local Montana wood whenever possible — we run our own sawmilling operation and source logs regionally. There's something right about a Montana entrance built from Montana timber.

How long does a log archway last?

Generations, when built correctly: sound logs, proper footings below frost depth, and details that shed water instead of trapping it. These are structures, and we engineer them like structures.

Can a log archway hold a gate or a sign?

Yes to both. Log arches make superb mounting structures for CNC-cut ranch signs and can be designed to carry automatic gate systems — we build the whole entrance as one integrated project.
