Using Corner Styles To Give Your Log Home A Unique Look

Bear in mind that different builders may have different names for corner styles.  So, you need to take both the name of the corner style you like, but also a picture or sketch of it to your builder to eliminate any confusion.

Here are some of the more common types of corner styles:

Butt and Pass Corner Style

Corner post

Dovetail

Saddle Notch Corner Style

Swedish Cope Saddle Notch

Vertical Corner Board

As you can see, the type of corner style can have a dramatic effect on the look of your log home. Log homes can have that neat and tidy look with a corner post or corner board.

Or they can look more like the traditional log homes of the past with, perhaps, a butt and pass style.

Corner Style Tip... Consult with your builder to make sure they will construct your log home with the corner style that you want. It's much better to find out up front if the builder doesn't build your favorite corner style. That way you can either change your corner style of hire another builder.

There is no right or wrong.  It's simply a matter of your tastes and desires.  Also, you should consult with your builder to make sure they will construct your log home with the corner style that you want.
