How to Use Logs as Framing

A pergola, gazebo or other framed structures are built from wood beams. If you do not have wood beams available, you can construct a frame from logs. This requires securing the logs in the ground and attaching them together to form the frame. To do this, you will need materials and equipment for the project that are found at a local home-improvement store.

Instructions

Measure a 10-foot square with tape measure. Mark the corners of the square with stakes. Drive the stakes into the ground with the hammer.

Dig a 2-foot hole at the location of each stake with an auger or post hole digger. The holes need to be at least 8 inches in diameter. Add 6 - 8 inches of crushed gravel to the bottom of each hole.

Measure four inches from one end of a 10-foot log and make a mark using the pencil. Drill a 3/8-inch hole through the log with the power drill. Repeat this step with three additional 10-foot logs.

Measure the diameter of an 8-foot log on both ends and mark the center on both ends. Repeat this step to measure and mark three additional 8-foot logs. Drill a 3/8-inch hole on each mark to a depth of 5-inches.

Place a 10-foot log in each hole you dug in Step 2. Back fill the hole with dirt to secure each log in place.

Position an 8-foot log in-between two 10-foot logs. Drive a 10-inch piece of rebar into the logs with the sledge hammer. Repeat this step to secure the remaining cross ties to complete the frame.
