Why Professionals Choose Hollow Log

Built for zoo curators, aquarium designers, and institutional procurement teams who need precision, speed, and accountability on every order.

Instant, Accurate Pricing

Every configuration — diameter, length, log type, bark finish — generates a real-time price. No back-and-forth, no surprises on the invoice.

Visual Scale Planning

The log sizer renders your chosen diameter and length alongside a 6 ft person reference — helping you visualize proportions and fit within your habitat or space before committing to an order.

Reduced Lead Times

Pre-configured orders enter production faster. Fewer clarification rounds means your habitat ships weeks sooner than a custom quote cycle.

Minimum Order Clarity

Freight minimums are calculated automatically per size. Your procurement team always knows the floor quantity before submitting a PO.

Full Log Type Control

Full Round, ¾ Round, Half Round — with optional bark-free industrial coatings. Every variable is configurable without a phone call.

Sizing

How Big Is Too Big?

Our biggest challenge when it comes to answering "how big of a log can you hollow" is simply — where to find them. We are constantly looking for large source logs to meet the demand of our customers.

Typical Maximum

48"

Diameter

Generally, logs in the Northeastern US don't get much bigger than 48" in diameter — that's simply the reality of the regional timber supply.

Max Length

6'

Per Section — Stack Any Length

Need longer? We build in 6-foot sections that stack together. The Chicago Botanical Garden log was 10 feet long — two sections, one tree, seamless.

Ask Us Anyway

48"+

Sometimes Available

We sometimes find logs larger than 48" in diameter — so don't hesitate to ask. If we have it or can source it, we'll let you know.

Custom Order Spotlight

The Chicago Botanic Garden Log

10 feet long. Built in two 6-foot sections from the same tree trunk so the grain matches seamlessly end to end. Delivered and installed on-site by the CBG grounds crew. We can build any length by adding sections together.
