Strengthening the openings

In most cases, the need to install an additional amplifying support is necessary at the place of crossing the window or door with the wall. This is implemented, as a rule, due to the use of a spike, which is nothing more than a bar positioned in the longitudinal wall direction. It performs the function of a kind of obstacle to the bend. When implementing such a scheme, the following tools will be involved: drill, chain saw, wood bar, as well as a measuring tool.

To achieve maximum resistance, you can see in the direction of a double spike. It is important to choose a board similar to the width log, and as for the height, it should be equal directly to the door frame. Since in the course of such works it often happens that the log turns out more. Here it is necessary to use a slightly larger spike, and a couple of millimeters.

After that, go to the cutting of the groove in the window crossbar, which should be equal to the windowsill. It is important that a groove is marked on vertical grooves, that is, a position for the bar. By marking by means of a chain saw and carry out a cut of grooves. Thus, they serve as a place of calling vertically oriented spikes.
