       Log 
      Manufacture After 
      manufacture has taken place, our complete order is then shipped from the 
      mill direct to the site in the UK in 13 metre trailers.  It is 
      essential that all ground works etc. are completed by this stage, and the 
      site cleared up to help keep the logs clean.  A rough terrain fork 
      lift is then required to off-load the logs, they are then laid around the 
      site ready for construction.  | ||

       Foundations A simple concrete raft is all that is 
      necessary to support all the log walls, as the load is spread evenly 
      throughout the structure.  | |

       Roof The roof can be finished in a variety 
      of different ways, but generally speaking a heavy roof is desirable for 
      the correct settlement of the structure.  A turf roof, laid on a 
      special turf sheet is the most satisfactory method - concrete roof tiles 
      and other coverings can also be used. Treatment 
      of Logs After erection, the logs require to 
      be cleaned then treated externally with a good quality preservative with 
      desired colour.  Internal surfaces of the log building should be 
      treated with a clear flame retardant.  We are stockists for Albi 
      Flame Retardant and this can either have a matt, satin or gloss finish - 
      normally a satin finish is preferred.  We can supply these treatments 
      for your own application.  | ||
