They form an alternating pattern where each log end presses against the side of the log on the other wall. Each wall has alternating long and short logs to allow the logs to mesh together. This makes for a strong connection between the two walls. The logs don\u2019t extend past the corner.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Overlapping Corners<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">The overlapping corner is where the logs are stacked on each other. They have notches cut into them to allow them to fit over the log on the other side. They fit together like puzzle pieces. The notches hold the walls together. The logs on each side extend past the corner. This is a look many people associate with older log buildings.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Interlocking Corners<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">The interlocking corner is where dovetail shaped notches and protrusions are cut into the logs. The logs in the one wall fit into the notches in the other. These corners are like dovetail joints in wooden furniture. It is a very popular corner type and provides a strong connection. The logs extend past the corner but with less overhang than the overlapping corner joint.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.logcabinsforless.com\/what-is-the-story-on-the-log-home-corners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">What Is The Story On The Log Home Corners?<\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8802\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8802\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.projectsmallhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/log_cabins_4_less-logs-e.jpg?resize=500%2C474&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8802\" alt=\"Choose your Log Profile and Corner System\" width=\"500\" height=\"474\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8802\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Choose your Log Profile and Corner System<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It all depends on the look you want.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8801\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8801\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.projectsmallhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/log_cabins_4_less-logs-f.jpg?resize=500%2C375&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8801\" alt=\"Choose your Log Profile and Corner System\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8801\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Choose your Log Profile and Corner System<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.logcabinsforless.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Log Cabins for Less &gt;<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/ebay.us\/YcilBF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Log Cabins for Less on eBay &gt;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Log Cabins for Less out of Greeneville, Tennessee sells log cabin kits.
