Place the double storm braces (
No.94
) on either side of the log cabin, (Internally and externally) ensuring to
locate them centrally over where the middle log boards sit flush, as shown in the illustration.
*Ensure the storm braces are secured at the highest point possible on each side.
The storm braces will need to be altered during the buildings life as the moisture content within the log boards
changes. The boards will expand during periods of high moisture (Winter) and shrink during periods of low
moisture (Summer.)
**Storm braces will help your building expand and contract properly.
***It is important that each bolt is tightened using a washer so as not to damage the log boards.
Secure the double storm braces into position from the inside of the cabin using 4x90mm bolts per 2 storm
braces (2 at the top, 2 at the bottom), making sure the washer & nut are tightened from the outside of the log
cabin. Ensure the bolts go through both the internal and external double storm brace.
