The presence of log house in agro-tourism is one of type of attraction to the tourists to come for agro-tourism. The tourists come for tourism and they stay in log house. The main advantage of a log house is a healthy living environment. The log house is made up with the locally available wood or light weight wood. The demand for wooden products is continuously increasing day by day. Wood is exposed to both periodic water absorption and desorption process. Understanding water absorption and desorption in wood are of practical importance since they also affect the mechanical properties of the product. In residential building and in industrial application some of the components are often wood (Ostman, 1985). For the purpose of the study, Agro-tourism for farmers is considered as a range of activities, services and amenities provided by farmers and rural people to attract tourist to their area in order to generate extra income for their businesses. Agro-tourism for tourists is considered as anything that connects tourists with the heritage, natural resource or culinary experiences unique to the agricultural industry or a specific region of the country's rural areas. The designed log house was safe from different loads point of view.Keywords

Wood is one of the earth’s most valuable resources and it conforms to the most varied requirement. There are over 1600 different species of woods which are used for various purposes. Wood shows a remarkably wide range of variation in their properties, timber and the type of end use (Rajput and Shukla, 1996). Wood is a multiuse biological raw material with a high economic importance for a number of industrial sectors such as construction, furniture and the packing industry. It is much more variable than that of materials such as concrete or metal (Michael, 2016). Global production of wood is estimated at 3469 million m3 in 2011, of which 1891 million m3 is fuel wood and 1578 million m3 is industrial round wood. Wood is a natural, renewable and valuable construction material. Since being thought of as naturally resistant to wood degrading organisms. Wood has been used as a shelter and has many outdoor applications thought out human history. However, the durability of wood varies depending on its tree species, chemical composition and the environmental condition. Wood biodegradation occurs in different ways such as fungal, bacterial and insect attack. Fungal decay is the most widespread type of wood degradation. The demand for wooden products is continuously increasing day by day. Wood is exposed to both periodic water absorption and desorption process. Understanding water absorption and desorption in wood are of practical importance since they also affect the mechanical properties of the product. In residential building and in industrial application some of the components are often wood (Ostman, 1985). To develop buildings and its components different engineering properties are important. In the present study, the bending stress of ain was found as 5.67 × 107 kN/m2 and compression stress was found as 1.3×107 kN/m2.Keywords
