What is meant by the term “settling”, and how will this affect my build?

Settling describes the loss of log wall height over time. Normally 90% of this settling will occur in the first two years, and will be completely finished by the end of year five after completion of the build.

We allow for this using a technique called over-scribing, which will ensure the log walls remain weather tight and allow for shrinkage and the compression of the building.
