Rope construction is another term for block construction and refers to a wall construction consisting of rod-shaped cross-sections that are layered horizontally on top of each other and braced over the corner joints. The wall construction can be single-layer, two-layer with integrated thermal insulation or three-layer.
It is possible to plan different wall thicknesses, but it should be noted that not all block beam cross-sections are suitable for this.
The strength of modern knitted or log house construction lies in prefabrication. Today, automated production processes are increasingly being used. The work is carried out on industrial CNC milling machines.
This leads to new possibilities of joining and to enormous cost savings.
The log walls are made by layers of horizontally laid block or shroth wood (more or less processed tree trunks). They rest either on a stone base or on individual supports to avoid direct contact with the ground. The shape of the cross-section varies depending on the type of post-processing.

When two block walls collide, they are usually formed with a so-called "forehead" that protrudes about 250mm over the corner. The elements are laid crosswise on top of each other, notching them out at the top and bottom.
The forehead fulfils several tasks at once:
