We live and work in Siberia, where there is growing cedar and larch. Therefore, we have the opportunity to choose the best logs. This is especially noticeable during building.

• houses in wild style;
• with different lengths of ends;
• at construction of houses on the Post & Beam technology;
• where beams and posts with "species", pronounced butt end are required.
• We can also prepare logs of non-standard length up to 12 meters.

Build cabin from large diameter logs from 50 cm.

Over 7 years of fruitful work, we have formed wooden housing construction team. Architects and designers, scrapers and baits - every employee in the company Bear Log is a responsible and experienced worker, as well as a highly qualified specialist for which chopped cedar houses work everyday.

We got a lot of experience building more 70 buildings in various styles using various technologies.

We own all lognotching technologies.

With 2013, we actively apply the techniques and standards recommended by the International Association of Wooden Housing (ILBA).

From this time on 2015, we were subcontracted by Canadian company Pioneer Log Homes of BC, the world leader in wooden housing construction, which built a log house of Canadian cedar in Moscow with an area of ​​more than 5 000 m2 During 3, the year of collaboration with Pioneer Log Home, we thoroughly and in practice studied the technology of building houses for hand-cutting of a large area.

We provide a full cycle of construction of log houses from a log - from design to turnkey delivery!

The area of ​​the logging site for the Bear Log Company is more than 5-hectares. The site is equipped with:

• Two tower cranes with a reach of 45 m and 35 meters.
• Two crane beams 18 meters wide and 42 length each meter.
• Indoor workshop with an area of ​​more than 1 500 m2 for cutting log cabins using Post and Bim technology

The size of the area allows you to build up to 10 buildings at the same time. Not every manufacturer has such well equipped Work Yard in Siberia.

Handcrafting of logs in the Russian notch has been the most common type of log notching in Russia since olden times. All logs and notches are round.

Disadvantages of building log cabins in the Russian notch.

While the processes of drying logs is going, the logs are becoming smaller in size and in the log's corner joints crevices are formed, which as the larger in size as the thicker the diameter of the log. For example, if you use logs with a diameter of 30cm in the logs, then gaps around 7mm can be formed, and if the log is at 40cm, the slots can be up to 10mm.

Advantages of building log cabins in the Russian notch.

This type of felling is not occasionally has taken roots in cold Russia. Usually the width of the groove in the log (thermal lock) is about half the diameter of the log.

Upper dressers are made to improve shrinkage processes when a log is over-felled.

The advantages of felling technology in the saddle notch

The processes of shrinkage of a wooden house for tenants are more inconspicuous.

Disadvantages in the suddle notch

In the formation of cracks, due to which in the Canadian notch the drying process more favorably passes, the width of the thermal groove between the logs decreases. When crafting logs in a Canadian notch of logs forty cm, the width of the tip will be about fifteen cm.

A wooden house or bath cut into a diamond saddle notch is considered to be aerobatics. A chic appearance is achieved not only by the upper notches in the overcut, but also by the lower ones. Due to the repeated intersection of the faces (spikes) in the over-cut, this type of logging got its name - diamond.

Advantages of technology of building log houses in a diamond notch.

The same as the saddle notch - favorable processes for logging in the period of shrinkage of logs.

Disadvantages of building log cabin in a diamond notch

Slight width of the heat tip. It can be even narrower than the house builded in a saddle notch because the log has cracks from above and below the log. We recommend building houses in a diamond notch made of logs with a diameter of at least forty cm.

Everything is very simple and understandable! First floor of log home handcrafted in notch, second floor using Post and beam!

Advantages of building log home in a Hybrid style

Hybrid log homes has good constructive if you have a complex, but not a two-slopes roof. Then it is not possible to use handcrafted pediments. The rafters system rigidly fastened by the crate, counter crate, roofing cover will not allow the gables located perpendicular to each other during the shrinkage to change the angle of the roof slope by using a traditional razor using traditional sliding supports for rafters. On the pediments between the logs, slots equal to the value of the log's service are necessarily formed.

Disadvantages of building a log house in a hybrid style

No

The technology of Post and Beam logging, when the frame - the base of the house consists of beams and pillars made of logs, allows you to use a variety of materials to fill the walls - horizontal logs without overburden, stone, glass. As a rule, framed walls are made with cladding with various types of cladding boards - log siding, shingles, imitation of timber or unedged board. Also on the frame wall, you can easily lay tile or stick wallpaper. Timber frame houses allow using completely different finishing and building materials in the design.

Advantages of building Post and Beam

Frame-timber construction is very stable and practically does not shrink.

Disadvantages of building by Post & Beam technology

The disadvantage of a frame-and-frame construction can be filling the walls with a chopped log. The height of the pillars and beams in Post & Beam houses remains unchanged over time, while the chopped walls are subject to shrinkage.
