Copper Post Caps
Copper post caps protect log home posts from rot by shielding wood from moisture and UV damage. Available in round, square, and rectangular styles, they enhance curb appeal while ensuring structural longevity. Ideal for homeowners and contractors seeking durable, custom-fitted solutions.
Settling Jacks
Adjustable settling jacks stabilize sinking log posts, preventing structural damage. Designed for heavy loads, these corrosion-resistant jacks enable precise leveling. Commonly used in deck and log home restoration projects to maintain alignment and integrity over time.
Railing Wraps
Railing wraps encase exposed log rail ends to prevent splitting and decay. These hand-hammered copper sleeves blend seamlessly with post caps, offering both protection and a polished finish. Suitable for outdoor decks and timber structures in high-moisture environments.
Door Kickplates
Copper kickplates reinforce door bases against wear and weathering. Their decorative design adds a rustic aesthetic while preventing rot at vulnerable entry points. Easy to install, they complement other copper accents for cohesive log home exteriors.
Custom Copper Solutions
Custom copper products accommodate irregular post shapes and unique architectural needs. Using client-provided measurements, we craft bespoke caps, wraps, and accents. This service ensures precise fits for non-standard log structures while maintaining material durability and visual harmony.
