Butt-n-Pass D-Style Corners Are Long-Time Favorites
Butt-n-Pass D-Style Corners
The Butt-n-Pass log corner design is a favorite technique for beginners because it does not require extensive construction skills or woodworking experience. It’s the most logical choice for someone without previous cabin building experience and it requires minimal experience. The logs are typically flat on one side and D-style (rounded) on the other side.
This method uses tightly-pinned corners to join the logs together without any notching. Each log is stacked on top of each other at right angles and then pinned or screwed together for a solid fit and joint. The advantages of this corner system include:
- The construction is less expensive compared to notching and scribing techniques. The speed of construction further reduces the building cost.
- Homeowners with essential skills and tools can install their own corners and log siding and this reduces barriers to cabin building.
- The corners can be installed without the assistance or support of additional equipment or a crane.
Double-D Siding Corners Look Amazing
Double-D Siding Corners
Butt & Pass Double-D Siding corners are essentially the same as D-Style except that both sides of the logs are rounded. Both styles are durable and sturdy enough to last a lifetime. Double-D corner logs come in 6” and 8” sizes and look realistically superior. Pine and Cedar are generally used for corner systems, while other wood varieties can be used at a greater cost.
Double-D corners have the same advantages of D-style butt-n-pass including less expense, speed of construction compared to notching, ease of installation, and less maintenance.
This style looks a little fancier or authentic with both sides of the logs rounded over instead of one flat side. It’s your choice of styles to meet your preferences and budget. Our team of experts will assist you with ordering the right sizes and amount of materials for your log cabin project
