Log cabin wall "log".. needed.

Recommended Posts

Hi- has anyone who might have built a 28mm log cabin, got a bit of wall log left over?

  • 1x small 40cm long wall log rotted, needs replacing (28mm).

I wonder if anyone might have a bit left over, or know if it  possible to replace it?

Thanks, zoot

Let me get this right ... you're asking us to supply you with a piece of wood 400mm by 28mm?

Can I suggest that your request needs phrasing with more care, or that you look in your builder's van for a spare bit of timber.

 

I am aware that English may well be an additional language for you. But asking on BuildHub if we could somehow source a spare bit timber could easily be misunderstood.

These will have a specific profile - usually to the manufacturer. Quickest way would be to template one and use a plane and router to create something that’s a near match and the “hide”it where it won’t show up as much.

That's an idea.. just thought if an industry std profile (IE Dunster House, Tuin) which looks possibly the case.. then maybe spares or an odd bit of someone's build. It'd be tricky to make but a good idea as last resort I'd not thought of.. & I do have the tools.

 

thx

Can’t the place you are buying it from supply one, or suggest where you might get one from? 

 

Loglap is what Google came up with but not sure about dimensions.

Hi newhome- no its a used shed, one wall log had a bash > rotted . Luckily its small bit only 40cm long (if a full log, Id not have asked).

 

Loglap?? hey that's helpful Id never heard of the word.. will do research see if I can buy. I've done ebay etc/ no can do. maybe loglap tho..

 

cheers zoot.

I think loglap is a bit different newhome (& glueing two together..? makes 42mm). Any 28mm section if I could find, I'm sure I could fashion to fit: this would be far the simplest solution: I know the usual 'excess' end bit of the joint is 100mm, & seems to be same between Co's.

 

thx zoot

That looks like regular 28mm T&G. Google can find it. For example..

but check the other dimensions.

 

 

 

Hi Temp- fantastic! I didn't know these cabin "logs" was simply 't&g timber'.. I thought it was specialist joining stuff. Emailed them.

 

thanks alot- zoot
