​
​​Log siding is a great way to get an authentic Log Home look without the Log Home price. Reason being: full logs are more expensive to buy and more costly to install. Log siding on the other hand is very easy to install, produces less wasted materials, and provides the same insulating quality or better depending on what type of insulation is used with the conventionally built wall—thus saving you money in the long run as well.

The tongue-n-groove and end-match design gives you an authentic log look with less maintenance than other log siding manufacturers. Our round log siding require no face nailing, no caulking in between joints, no waste, and no cracking or splitting. Our log sidings are available in Pine or Cedar and in a smooth or hand peeled authentic look.
