Common Questions About Creative Log Structures

Want To Learn More?

Below are some of the questions we get asked most often about our business. For more information, please contact us about your specific project!

Do You Ship Nationally?

We offer material handling and shipping for projects as needed. We also work with several local contractors when it comes to getting your custom log structure to your property and installed properly.

Green treated wood is often rated for ground contact and undergoes a process that actually turns the wood green. While this process works well for construction lumber, it does not give the best appearance when it comes to log structures. Borate treatment is very effective while preserving the original color and detail of the source material.

We are more of a manufacturer and distributor of log and lumber products. That being said, we do have capable and highly vetted companies that we partner with when it comes to the installation side of things.
