Feature Log Wall

The project

This guide documents how we designed and built a natural log wall fence using existing Leylandii trunks and locally sourced hardwood logs, creating a low-impact boundary that provides structure, privacy, acoustic benefit and habitat for wildlife.

What the guide teaches

• Assessing site suitability and ground conditions
• Defining wall size, depth, and height
• Calculating timber volume before sourcing materials
• Sourcing and selecting suitable logs
• Setting out and supporting the wall correctly
• Installing posts without damaging root systems
• Stacking techniques for strength and appearance
• Optional structural restraint for taller walls
