7. Install LogHog™ Fasteners : With the base logs sealed and in proper
location, install LogHog™ fasteners in the base course and countersink heads
(screw down until tops of fastener heads are slightly below log surface) using
socket provided. Typical placement specifies 2 fasteners at each butt joint
and corner (Figures 4-5 & 4-7). This means that logs 24” or less in length
should have at least four fasteners. Additional LogHog™ fasteners are
positioned every 36" on center and staggered, or altered from inside to
outside of log (Figure 4-5). For logs over 24” but less than 72” in length, 2
fasteners staggered in the center third of the log are recommended (minimum
of six fasteners). (Detail L-5, Pg. 4-33)
Figure 4-5 Setting LogHog Fasteners in Base Course
When fastening the logs, alternate sides of the log when installing the
fasteners. Fastening completely down one side first will tighten that side but
may create a gap on the other side that does not pull completely together.
This results in a log that is not seated flat. Left uncorrected, successive
courses of log will tend to roll, and it will be difficult to bring the wall back
plumb. When detected early, shims or washers may be used to lift one side of
a single course to correct roll, but this is not recommended as a common
practice.
8. Install Dowel Pins : After all LogHog™ fasteners have been installed and
tightened, drill 1” holes approximately 6" deep (stack height of one log) at
each butt joint (Figure 4-4) using a 1” wood drill bit (NOT SUPPLIED).
Clean away sawdust, fill 1/4 to 1/3 with caulk, and hand press dowel pins
into each hole so that the top of the dowel is slightly lower than the top of the
logs (Detail L-6, Pg. 4-34).
IMPORTANT!
Base log LogHog™
fasteners should
penetrate into triple
2x10 perimeter sill.
In the unlikely event
that a log should
need to be removed,
(maybe the wrong
log was fastened in
by accident), the
LogHog™ fasteners
can be removed by
reversing your drill
and removing them.
