The E-Z Hogan Sales Team
Inspired by the simplicity and utility of the traditional Navajo hogan, we make and provide products to make it easier for you to build your own 8-sided building. Our current focus is on building and selling to you, our customers, hogan bracket kits that enable a crew to put up an 8-sided building frame in a day.
Using our patented brackets and standard lumber, you can build a strong, versatile, and cost effective building frame very quickly. The roof ring has a hole through the middle of it for a chimney or can be left open for a ceremonial fire on the ground. You can see pictures of the building frames during and after assembly on the pictures page. We have listed a few of the ways to use an E-Z hogan on our uses page, we'd like to hear how you use yours.
Building Sizes
Due to the Bracket design, you can build different sized buildings using the same brackets. We have built frames from 8' to 30' in diameter using them. Here are various building dimensions:

The roof rafters need to be sized based on the local snow load requirements. It is the responsibility of the buyer to make sure the roof load rating meets local load requirements. Roof brackets for 2x6, 2x8, 2x10, and 2x12 rafters are available. We will discuss what size you need based on the location of your building site.
Custom roof ring
We built a roof ring with an extra-large center hole for one customer, to be used for ceremonial fires. Let us know what you want and we'll price it for you.
Our products, and this Web site are works in progress. We strive to adopt better ideas whenever feasible. We welcome your input. We built our first hogan prototype in November 2002 and have been striving to better our products ever since.
