About
Editorial policy
The sourcing, review and correction rules behind Log Store Guide.
Our useful unit is a decision, not a word count. Each page should leave you able to measure, choose, place, build or repair something.
Source order
For rules and official limits, we start with legislation, GOV.UK, the Planning Portal or a local authority. For timber protection, dimensions and product details, we use the maker or the relevant trade body. Secondary sources can help us find a question, but do not become evidence merely because several sites repeat the same sentence.
Sources appear at the end of pages that rely on changeable facts. Each list includes the date on which we checked it.
Comparisons
Comparison pages state their criteria before discussing options. Unless a page explicitly says otherwise, comparisons are based on published specifications and construction details. They are not product tests. We do not publish star ratings, invented owner experiences or a false overall winner.
Updating
The date near the byline is the last material review date. We revisit planning and fuel-sale rules when official guidance changes, and remove claims we can no longer support. Small typographic changes do not reset the review date.
Commercial separation
An affiliate relationship does not change the inclusion criteria or conclusion. A page carrying a paid link displays an Ad label and the link uses the appropriate sponsored attribute. Current prices are left to the retailer.
