Abstract
Simulated log corner units for constructing log cabin type structures from preformed log siding, which units are arranged on a foundation at the corners thereof and each include a vertically disposed beam to which a series of relatively short alternately arranged log end pieces are offsettedly attached so as to alternately project forwardly and laterally therefrom at right angles to each other at each corner and simulate the ends of the siding logs so as to be compatible with the log type siding applied to the exterior walls of the structure and the latter will have the appearance of a conventionally erected log cabin.

In a simulated log corner assembly unit for constructing log cabin type structures from preformed log siding on foundations with wall framing erected thereon, one of said units being arranged at each corner of the foundation and each comprising a vertically disposed beam, a series of relatively short simulated log end pieces attached to said beam generally at right angles thereto and relative to each other, some of said pieces projecting forwardly from said beam and some of said pieces projecting laterally therefrom, said log siding being arranged in adjacent horizontal courses and extending between said corner assembly units to form the walls thereof, the ends of said siding courses abutting and attached to said beams so that said end pieces will project forwardly and laterally therefrom in relationship to said siding courses and whereby said end pieces will simulate the intersecting corner ends of said siding courses and simulate the finished look of a structure constructed from regular logs.
