Log Siding Corner Styles

Saddle Notch

• If you ever played with Lincoln Logs, you're familiar with saddle notch corners. These are the corners where the full round logs overlap. The logs nest together thanks to half-circle notches cut in the top of each log. This notch is known as a saddle notch. Saddle notch corners give your home the look of a traditional log home.

Butt N Pass

• Instead of being notched together as in the saddle notch, the logs in a butt n pass corner rest on top of each other. The logs in this case aren't round but flat on the top and bottom. This is sometimes referred to as a D shape. This is a more contemporary look for your home's corners.

Vertical

• Instead of overlapping logs that jut out, a vertical corner finish features a full or partial log that runs vertically from the foundation to the roof line at each corner. This log finish covers the raw ends of the siding and provides a very neat, squared-off look to each corner.

False Corners

• While the corners of a conventional log home are composed of actual logs that overlap, the corners for log siding are actually false pieces that are attached once the siding is installed. The corner pieces stack on top of each other. They cover the raw ends of the siding and give the impression of overlapping logs for that log home look you want.
