Country Road Log Homes of Tennessee
OUR PATENTED TECHNOLOGY
It's what's inside that really counts!
Please note the size of our logs when compared to the most popular log used today. Our logs are 8"x12" compared to the 6'x8" log offered by others. The pictures below are scale drawing comparisons. Our post and beam interior construction which consists of 8"x12" drop beams and 8"x12" support posts. The ceiling joists which double as floor joists for the second floor are 4"x12"... massive indeed when compared to other log home packages. You will never experience any swag or twist in our construction. A special cut log is mitered in the factory to receive every ceiling joist. DANCING FERN LOG HOMES features a "four way inter-lock corner." It is a part of the patented inter-locking corner. The logs which make up the wall cannot move in either direction. Not only does this eliminate any shifting, it makes the log kit easier to build and insures a plumb wall.

HOMES OF TENNESSEE features a "four way inter-lock corner." It is a part of the patented inter-locking corner. The logs which make up the wall cannot move in either direction. Not only does this eliminate any shifting, it makes the log kit easier to build and insures a plumb wall. But the most radical and greatest feature of the Country Road log wall is the continuous "through rod wall construction." At the factory, each log is pre-bored - (sixteen inches on center). When the logs are stacked according to the blueprint, the holes are inline. Our logs are not spiked, lag screwed, or nailed together. The logs are simply stacked to the complete height of the wall-then a 5/8" threaded rod is inserted from top to bottom-sixteen inches on center along the complete length of the wall. When the rods are tightened, obviously the compression realized is tremendous. However, here is the main benefit. Because of the unique design and innovation, the wall can be tightened again a year from now, or 10 years from now, after all shrinking and settling is over. This eliminates the major problem with log homes today-the gapping between the logs allowing air and water infiltration. You never have this problem with a properly constructed COUNTRY ROAD LOG HOME.

Buildability The COUNTRY ROAD LOG HOMES OF TENNESSEE is the simplest log home package to erect in the industry today. If you can stretch a string, read a level, insert a threaded rod and attach a nut and washer, YOU CAN BUILD A COUNTRY ROAD LOG HOMES OF TENNESSEE. Every log is pre-cut, pre-bored, pre-numbered at the factory. There are no spikes to drive or struggling to keep the wall plumb and straight. It is almost impossible to erect our log wall erroneously. Let us prove that to you! It is a perfect project for the "do it yourself person" and by so doing, a tremendous amount of money can be saved in building your dream home. Wood Species We use only the best wood species for our log walls--Eastern White Pine. It's a superior insulator and features a straight grain to minimize twisting. In comparison, such woods as Southern Yellow Pine, Oak or Walnut offer much lower insulating capabilities and will shrink and/or twist to a greater degree than Eastern White Pine. The following innovations are just a few good reasons to choose a COUNTRY ROAD LOG HOME. We're setting the standard for today's log homes. Below are just some of the advantages of purchasing a Country Road Log Home for your Dancing Fern Mountain Home.
