How are the logs joined together in a Lincoln Logs International home?
We utilize a closed cell backer rod that fits into a pre-cut v-groove between the logs. On the butt end joints, two strips of foam log seal gasket material and two 1″ diameter hardwood dowel pins are incorporated to ensure a complete seal against air, light, and water. 9 inch lag bolts are used at 16 inch intervals to bolt the logs together forming, in essence, a solid 8 inch thick wood wall a very tight and very strong structure.
