We have a Tuin interlocking log cabin built in Summer 2023. About three months in, horizontal gaps started appearing between log courses, and many logs have since twisted/distorted.
During heavy rain, water enters these open joints and sits, which has lead to early rot despite annual coats of a high-grade wood preserver.
To stop the ingress before winter, would a flexible sealant route work, or will it simply trap moisture and restrict seasonal expansion/contraction?
Photos attached show the wall profile and joint close-ups. Any advice on the best remedial approach would be appreciated. (I've reached out to Tuin customer care, but haven't been able to resolve it with them directly).
