One of the main ways to produce logs for turnkey log cabins used by GreenSrub carpenters is manual felling. Manual processing of a log is preferred for several reasons - parameters that are not typical for rounded logs, timber (including glued).
Preservation of the protective layer– a layer is preserved on a manually chopped log, which protects the log from the effects of external negative factors.
Maximum log length- in length, a chopped log can reach 12 m, the length of other materials - up to 6.5-7 m (laminated timber is an exception).
Optimum log diameter– the diameter of the logs is 20-28 cm, embedded logs can reach a diameter of 30 cm.
Favorable geometry- the log retains its conical shape, which minimizes further cracking (unlike rounded logs and timber, where the butt and the top are of the same diameter).
Log processing
Making a log house to order begins with the purchase roundwood and processing logs - the bark will be removed from them. This process is called debarking, and the treated logs are debarked. To preserve the protective layer of each log, an ax or a scraper is used for debarking. Another way to remove the bark from a log is also possible - using a planer, but still using an ax and a scraper upper layer wood is less damaged.
Drying wood
One of the most important questions for those who plan to order a turnkey log house is the method of wood drying. The most preferred option is natural drying, since during it the least changes occur in the wood structure. A hand-cut log subjected to natural drying has a minimum number of cracks, the size of which is 1-2 mm, while cracks on a rounded log reach 10 mm in size.
Are there any disadvantages?
There are also disadvantages to a log house made of hand-cut logs, but they are not related to the quality of the final product. When buying a log house to order, the customer must understand that the production time for such a structure is longer than, for example, the production time for a log house from rounded logs. But at the same time, it is worth remembering that, on average, such a log house can be cut down in 1-2 weeks. The discrepancy between the diameter of the butt and the top of the log is a disadvantage not so much for the customer as for the manufacturer. Logs with a minimum discrepancy are selected for the log house, so outwardly it is practically not noticeable.

Today there are enough a large number of proposals on the market for the construction of log houses. Many firms lure customers with variety in the choice of wood for the construction of the building. Of course, each of these materials is good in its own way. The RusLesGroup company can build a structure from sanded, planed logs or a semi-lafette - this means that in the middle your house will look like an absolutely flat wall. Accordingly, it will be easier to trim it.
Production of wooden houses and baths from the company "RusLesGroup"
To create houses and baths, we independently produce all the necessary building materials. Each part of the house is tested in the workshops of our company. As a result, the client on his site receives only the parts of the house necessary for the construction. All these factors make the construction of the structure many times faster, since the process of selecting wood and delivering the finished kit to the customer is accelerated. In addition, our client will never see a large amount of debris after construction - everything unnecessary is immediately sawn off and remains at our assembly site. For the manufacture of wooden houses and baths we use logs different diameter, but only highest quality and humidity level.
Production of log cabins (log cabin in a bowl)
Since the house is initially assembled and tested at our company, the quality and reliability of the structure is increased. We care about each of our clients and about saving their finances. Therefore, we put houses on the principle of a log house in a bowl. This saves more than 15% on material costs and makes the whole box of the house more stable.
For the manufacture of structures according to this principle, it is necessary to select logs of the same thickness. The end of the log in a certain ratio with the diameter is cut off on both sides. After that, each joint of the logs is adjusted manually using a conventional planer. When everything fits perfectly according to this criterion, a radial groove is made in each log from below. This will allow you to securely fasten the logs together. After checking the entire structure, it is disassembled. Each log receives its own number and is delivered to the site to the customer.
Standard kit and additional delivery materials for the manufacture of log houses and baths
We offer standard types construction of facilities. These are log houses or other structures made of logs measuring 3 by 5 meters and 6 by 6 meters. As a rule, the company spends 4-6 days on the construction of such houses. With such an order, you receive all the necessary details of the house, materials for the construction of the foundation, other structures:
- a set of logs for assembling the floor;
- lumber for walls and partitions, as well as final stage ceiling constructions in your room;
- windows and doors;
- all building materials for roofing roof.
If you wish, the company will build:
- balcony in wooden house. Then a floor board will be added to the kit;
- a house with a height of more than 2 meters, for example, a two-story log house and above;
- wooden house with finished finishing works;
- will completely make a basement in a wooden house, a cellar or other underground premises that require other construction technologies.
The main task of "RusLesGroup" is high-quality production of log cabins
We attach great importance the quality of our facilities. Therefore, we manufacture and control all materials ourselves. Over the years of our company's work in the Russian market, there have been no complaints and claims from customers, only positive reviews about log cabins of houses and baths. And this is an important factor when choosing a manufacturer of a house or a bath.
Log cabins are most often built in suburban areas. The advantages of building this type include:
- thermal properties.
- Reliability.
- Great look.
In order to make a reliable log house with your own hands, you need to know the principle of manufacturing the structure and the nuances of caring for it.
Any structure from a log house can give a garden decor good view, which is able to attract the attention of not only guests suburban area but also the people who pass by.
You should be aware that a log house can be built from certain types of wood. It is best to choose heavy-duty woods that have a relatively low cost. You can use, for example, larch, pine or birch.
It is important to choose the right size of logs. For the construction of a log house, logs with a diameter of more than 20 cm can be suitable. Max Diameter is 26 cm. The thickness of the logs should be the same along the entire length. The tree should not have cracks, and it should not bend.
Elements that will be necessary for the construction of the log house:
- Rounded logs or profiled timber.
- Tow or jute.
- Wooden dowels.
- Building level.
- Ruberoid or other waterproofing material.
- Grinder or planer.
- Damn.
How to choose the right way to build a log house?
To make a log house yourself, you will need to have some woodworking skills.
Before assembling the log house, the first step is to make a design project, based on which you can choose the method of fixing the log house.
There are the following classifications of the log assembly:
- Based on planning. The structure can be of any shape you like. You can install an intermediate wall made of logs to make a five-wall structure.
- Based on the method of fixing the logs to each other. There are 2 most common options: fastening “in the bowl” and “in the paw”.
- Based on the method of processing the material used. The building can be assembled from rounded or ordinary logs, glued or profiled timber.

Necessary materials
In most cases, a log house is made of cylinder-shaped logs and profiled timber. Both materials have their pros and cons.
Cylinder-shaped logs are made by processing ordinary logs into an ideal cylinder shape. For this, a special machine is used, which is able to remove the top layer of the log. The end result is a log in the shape of a cylinder, which has the following advantages:
- The correct geometric shape is able to give the structure an attractive appearance, as a result of which there is no need to additionally decorate the log house.
- In most cases, after processing, cylinder-shaped logs will have the same diameter along their entire length.
- As a result of the fact that the beam will have the same diameter along the entire length, the structure will be erected strictly according to the level, there will be no gaps and distortions.
- Shrinkage of the log structure occurs over 5 years. If logs in the form of a cylinder are used, shrinkage will last about 5 months.
- The design in which such logs are used is stable and durable.
- There is no need to process the log yourself, because its processing takes place during the manufacturing process.
- At this material there is little heat loss.
Profiled timber can have a rectangular or square shape, it is also processed on a special machine. After processing, the sides of the material will have flat base, and the top and Bottom part- embossed, in the form of grooves. Profiled bars have the following advantages:
- Low cost.
- The presence of grooves, thanks to which you can make a stable structure.
- from profiled timber it will be possible in about 2 weeks.
- Water will not get into the horizontal joints of the material, so that the wood will rot less.
- In the process of processing the timber, cuts are made, due to which the timber will not “lead” in the future.
- Minimum shrinkage of the structure.
- The material does not need to be further processed.
- A beam of this type has a small weight, so that the structure can be built on any soil and foundation.

Methods for bandaging log logs
There are 2 most popular ways of dressing the materials of the log house at the corners: “in the paw” and “in the bowl”. In each case, you can get a stable structure, the only difference is the creation of special grooves.
In the “bowl” ligation method, the corners of the structure will not be exposed to gusts of wind, which is a big advantage. The disadvantage is that you need to use a fairly large amount of material. On you can clearly see the way of dressing the log house “into the bowl”.
To mark the bowl, you will need a tool called a “dash”. The bowl should be located at the bottom of the log, otherwise the moisture will accumulate quickly enough that it can lead to rotting of the material.
The beam must be laid on top of each other so that the bowl of the bar located on top can repeat the contours of the lower log. The bowl can be cut to a depth not exceeding half the diameter of the bar.
The paw-tying method requires the use of less material, but the structure is exposed to wind influences. In addition, create grooves in this case quite difficult. clearly this method material ligation can be seen.
With a planer or grinder one of the sides of the bar must be given a flat surface.
On the selected site, you need to install 2 logs opposite each other, after which you need to install 2 more logs perpendicularly on them. In the recess you need to lay the next log. To fix the structure, a vertical hole must be drilled in the “paw” of the upper and the log located below it, and then a stake should be driven in. The procedure is carried out in a checkerboard pattern.

How to make a log house yourself: manufacturing technology
Building a log house yourself is quite difficult, therefore it is recommended to seek help from specialists. If, however, a decision is made to independently build similar design, then you need to know the manufacturing technology. You will need to do the following:
- The ground is being prepared and the foundation is being built. It is necessary to choose the type of foundation based on the chosen material for the construction of the log house. It is best to use a base on a tape, because such a design is durable, and it can be erected quite simply.
- Next, you will need to wait about 1 month until the foundation settles. A layer is laid on the base waterproofing material. In this case, it is best to use roofing material. On such material, you need to install a board with a thickness of 5 cm or more, on which the first crown of the log house will lie. A layer of tow must be laid on top of it so that it is possible to ensure a good heat capacity of the structure.
- On the tow you need to lay the first crown. Logs must be of large diameter. Before laying the first crown on the logs, it is necessary to make notches along the entire length. This is necessary so that the logs are carefully in contact with the board.
- After laying the first crown, you can proceed to the construction of the rest. Tow or jute is always placed between the crowns. Through each m of the length of the logs, you will need to make a connection using spikes. If you do not make additional fastening, then the structure may turn out to be unstable.
- Upon completion of construction, it is recommended to leave the structure for 1 year so that shrinkage occurs. In the process of shrinkage, window openings and other structural elements can be deformed. In order to prevent this from happening, it is necessary to make technological gaps in advance, which, at the end of shrinkage, will be clogged with tow.
- During shrinkage, you can sheathe the floor and create rafters to secure the roof.
- After that, caulked work is carried out, which consists in tamping the tow between the crowns and other existing gaps. This work will need to be done once a year.
A rounded log is a tree trunk that has undergone special processing on professional woodworking equipment.
The rounded log is a unique and most popular material in modern construction wooden houses. Production is carried out in the factory using high-tech production.
Currently round logs are more in demand than inexpensive timber.
Log cabins from rounded logs distinguished by their aesthetics and durability. The logs that make up the log house have ideal geometric parameters, so that the gaps between them are minimal. Another advantage is high thermal insulation - 5 times higher than that of brick and concrete buildings. Construction log cabin simple, since the building material is extremely standardized, that is, all logs have the same dimensions. And the cost is cheaper than a log house from a bar. Due to the ease of construction, it takes a little time.And no other material can be compared with the magical energy of wood. Yes and more environmentally friendly material does not exist. Wood treated in a special way provides constant air microcirculation, creating a favorable atmosphere for life.
Living in log house, a person sleeps better, gets sick less often, has a great rest, and works more productively. It will never be cold and damp in a log house. Logs perfectly keep the temperature and are great for all-season living.
Thanks to the pleasant appearance both outside and inside, log cabin does not need additional finishing.
The original simplicity of the interior and use in the manufacture round log cabins the latest technology attracts even very wealthy people who, in recent times more and more often they buy log cabins from rounded logs. 
Deciding to purchase a log house from round log, you are making an excellent choice in favor of health and the best combination prices and quality.
Special technologies for the production of rounded logs allow you to create houses that will last for decades, and year after year you will enjoy the unsurpassed properties of a living tree.

All elements of your future home will be made in advance and installed in accordance with the selected project according to unique technology, guaranteeing a century-long service at home!
Why do many customers choose us among the many offers on the Russian market?
- We know how to choose the right wood for making a log house.
- As a manufacturer, we provide the lowest price on both wooden log cabins from a larch, and on fellings from a pine, houses from a bar.
- Our qualified specialists have a wealth of experience.
- We are able to perform work of any complexity.
- The company's archive contains many typical and original solutions to create houses.
- We make houses custom order(sketches).
As a rule, the production of log cabins of wooden houses involves the use of several types of timber and logs: ordinary timber; hand-cut logs; round log larch (pine) and profiled timber.
For the manufacture of a house from rounded timber, the price of which is 15-20% lower, a log is taken, hewn in the factory. By its properties, it is not inferior to the tree manual processing. Even vice versa. In America and European countries, log houses are considered the standard, because they look the most neat and elegant, without losing their naturalness. Houses made of hand-crafted logs are valued, first of all, for manual work, the spiritual dedication of the master. However, if you can immediately move into a house made of rounded logs, then a house made of hand-crafted log cabins needs time to settle down. But in any case, both types of houses can reduce the cost of thermal insulation, as well as the installation of a powerful foundation.
Log cabin from different breeds trees has different characteristics. But what is the highest quality material? This question arises before many clients. An old Russian proverb says "A spruce hut - a healthy heart", and sayings, as we know, are not written from scratch. Pine and spruce are almost the same in their physical characteristics and chemical composition. Both of these trees are successfully used in such an area as the construction of a log house from logs.
resin of all coniferous trees has healing properties, and therefore houses made of larch, spruce or pine are equally beneficial to human health. However, larch also has a rejuvenating and restorative effect on the human body. It is less susceptible to aging and decay, and is particularly durable. In the price range, the first place, of course, is occupied by larch, followed by pine and spruce (approximately the same cost, depending on the region of growth).
However, it should be remembered that the durability of a house depends not only on the material, but also on the technique and skill of the builder. The production of log cabins of wooden houses involves the manufacture of parts for building a house like a designer. Each part has bowls for assembly, which allows you to speed up the production process many times over.
