Q: How do you handle the logs?

A: With TLC. Total Log Care.

It starts at the kiln. Once dried, they are covered by a thick tarp to our manufacturing facility. Here they are unloaded and stored under cover in our large storage buildings, designed specifically to ensure the materials stay dry. Our logs are graded to Log Wall 53, a rating above the industry's standard.

After being cut to exact specifications inside our mill, the logs are drystacked and taken down being reverse stacked onto protective pallets. Once packed, the logs are wrapped with lumber wrap for further protection from the elements. All of the materials are then stored under cover in our shipping yard. Every Beaver Mountain home receives a designated storage bay so that all components are kept together.

When the materials are all loaded on the truck to be shipped, everything is tarped again (rain or shine) and ready for the journey to your construction site. The homeowner is then responsible for keeping the logs and other home components away from the elements on the site.

We find that the extra TLC we put into every log ensures that your home will be a lasting legacy for generations to come.
