Settling Items
    Compression Springs 
    Plumbing Expansion Joints
    Settling Jack
    Post Leveler- (zinc phosphate clad)
    ThruLoc Nuts (self-tightening nuts)

Many of the hardware items listed here are used  to compensate or adjust for the settling that occurs in nearly all log structures.

Links are provided to other related products such as fasteners and cosmetic accessories such as post caps.

As these are some of the more exasperating parts of log building to many people, we'll think you'll find lots of useful items here.

Settling - Walls, Posts, Plumbing, All Thread Fasteners

1/2"   $12.95
5/8"   $19.95
 3/4"   $25.95 

Thruloc nuts may or may not have a shiny stainless finish as shown in the picture at right...the internal mechanism is the same.

1/2"   $2.60
5/8"   $2.95
3/4"   $4.25

This is used on the "other" end of the allthread. The nut is welded to the washer and the washer has 4 holes drilled in it to attach to the log. This is what secures the other end of the allthread so the Thruloc self-tightening nut can travel down the allthread as the building settles.

Settling Jacks are used accommodate settling in log walls. Also called Post Jacks, they can also be used to stabilize the top of a frame wall to compensate for the settling difference between a non-settling frame wall and the log wall.
Made of two 1/4" x 5" square plates with  3/8" pre-drilled holes in two diagonal corners,

all-thread,  (all thread is welded to lower plate), nut, washer. 
One plate is welded to bottom of all thread, second  plate sits on washer and nut at attaches to post or beam. 
Custom sizes available. Done by certified welder. Non-engineered.

Plumbing Slip Fittings / Expansion Joints
Log homes settle and a challenging area to allow for the settling is plumbing. 
The lubricated O ring joint ensures ease of movement while maintaining an effective seal. Available in ABS pipe, which will not rust, pit or degrade when exposed to moisture and common household chemicals and is extremely resilient and durable. 
Used for drains and vents. 
Units will allow for up to 3� of settling. If you anticipate more settling in your walls than 3�, you should consider using 2 in-line. 
Dual female ends. 

1-1/2"   $22.85 
   2"      $45.35
   3"      $49.65

1-1/2" & 2" are 7" long overall in the compressed length. 
These have calibrations up to 3" on the sliding shaft.

3" is 8-1/2" compressed length.
These have calibrations up to 2" on the sliding shaft.

Compression Springs are used for 3/4" - 7/8" through bolts (all thread-continuous threaded rod). 
Due to recent upgrading of seismic ratings in many parts of the United States, Compression Springs have become more popular as the need for continuous connection from foundation to roof is required. This is often accomplished with All-thread
Compression Springs are installed either/or at the top or bottom of the all-thread, (continuous rod), that is running from foundation to top of wall. To keep the pressure on the logs during the settling process the nut/washer combo at one end needs to be tightened periodically. This can be accomplished by the tension created with the compression spring. 
Handcrafted, "Green Log" builders may experience sufficient settling to need two compression springs "stacked" for sufficient settling compensation. Or, more likely, will need to adjust/tighten the nut/washer on the all thread once or twice during the settling process.
Through Bolting CAN Be An Excellent Fastening System! 
Previously:, To Be Completely Effective, You Had To Tighten 
The Through Bolts Several Times Each Year!
Now: You may have to only re-tighten 2 or 3 times total.

Smaller compression springs are used for 3/8" and 1/2" diameter lag screws that are still popular with some builders.
Due to recent upgrading of seismic ratings in many parts of the United States, Compression Springs have become more popular as the need for continuous connection from foundation to roof is required. This is often accomplished with All-thread
Compression Springs are installed at the top of the lag screw and tightened along with the lag until under full compression.
