LOG HOUSE - DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION

Below is a brief look at this process:

Before laying the first crown of the log house, it is necessary to waterproof the foundation. To do this, lay several layers of waterproofing material and a lining board on top of the foundation.

Then the first crown is laid. As mentioned above, the first crown should have a larger diameter, as a rule, oak or larch is used for this purpose. Connecting the crowns at the corners is carried out in standard ways – it can be a “half-tree bowl”, “paw”, “curdle”, etc.

Jute insulation is laid on top of the first crown. Then the second row is laid in the same way. The crowns are interconnected by means of pins (pins). The latter are inserted into the through holes of the upper ridge and deepened to the middle of the lower ridge.

The pins should be placed at a distance of one and a half meters in a checkerboard pattern. It should be noted that the last two crowns are not connected by pegs, which allows the log house to sit evenly.

In the last crown, which will serve as a mauerlat, you need to make cuts for the rafter system. The roof of a log house in a wild log cabin can have any design – gable, four-pitched, etc.

This is, in fact, the entire basic instruction for building a wild log cabin.

Among the disadvantages of log houses is the fact that the construction of a wild log house requires high professionalism and qualifications of specialists. The durability, thermal insulation and aesthetic properties of the structure depend on how well they select and process the logs, make and install the log house.

KOLEO’s builders have the necessary knowledge and skills to make a debarked log and build a house in a “wild” log cabin. The craftsmen harvest the wood and process the lumber themselves. This allows them to carefully select logs and monitor the quality of the products as much as possible. In addition, a house from the manufacturer will be cheaper, because we work without intermediaries.

The first and most important difference between a house built in a wild log cabin, for example, and buildings made of glued, profiled timber and cylindrical logs, is that the construction of a wild log cabin is performed entirely by hand using carpentry tools, portable power tools and a chainsaw.

Logs are laid on all walls and partitions in a wild log house with the side with the smaller diameter facing the side with the larger diameter, since the logs in a wild log house are different. For some people, this wall pattern in the interior and exterior is especially valuable, while others want to have straight lines and order houses made of cylindrical logs, profiled and glued beams.

Since the construction of a wild log house involves much more manual work than the construction of a cylindrical log, glued and profiled beam, the estimated cost of labor differs significantly from the above construction technologies. However, the cost of timber compared to the cost of cylindrical logs, glued and profiled beams offsets the advantage in labor costs. Thus, the price of a wild log house is slightly higher than that of a cylindrical log house, but lower than that of glued and profiled timber.

It takes a little longer to build a wild log house wall because the logs are not machined at the production site, unlike cylindrical logs, profiled and glued beams.

It takes from 1 to 1.5 years for the wood to dry to a certain percentage of moisture to fully shrink the walls of a cylindrical log house and a wild log house. That is why the technological processes in construction and finishing differ from houses made of profiled and glued timber.

The utilities of a private log house play a key role in the comfortable life of future residents. Without ventilation, electricians, heating, sewers and water supply it is impossible to live. Each of these systems has its own nuances. If there are no centralized networks near the estate, you can design and build an autonomous infrastructure of technical systems.

The real thickness of the wall of a wild log house is the width of the “moon” groove.
