Installation Instructions

INSTALLING LOG SIDING CORNERS

V-Notch Corner Logs are typically installed before the siding, while full tail corner systems are installed

at the same time.

V-NOTCH CORNER LOGS

To fasten a V-notch corner simply toenail a galvanized screw every two feet on both sides of the log to

the wall. A 6-inch log screw is most commonly used, but situations vary where a longer log screw may

be needed. Your log siding is then butted up to the V-Notched Corner log (which is attached first) to

finish the corner. Some contractors will put a reverse bevel cut on the siding, so the siding more closely

matches the contour on the round log but the seam will get caulked.

The arrows show the location of the log screws for attachment, approximately every 2 feet.

Full Tail Corner Pieces. (Not available for 2 x 6 siding profile) There are two types of full tail corners;

butt and pass, and saddle notch corners, both mimic full log construction. When choosing this corner

style, your home needs to have a two-foot minimal overhang to protect and cover your corners.

Fastening Full Tail Corners. No matter which style you choose, fastening full tails corners is the same.

Butt and Pass and Saddle Notch corners have right and left corner pieces, based on the full log portion

that sticks out pass the corner. As you face a corner, the piece that sticks out to your right is a right corner

piece, and vice versa for the left. Attach the siding portion of the corner piece into the studs. (see

installation sheet for information) We recommend toenailing a galvanized screw or two on the backside

of the corner piece into the wall. These screws help hold the corner section in place tightly against the

wall. (See drawing below)
