In contrast to logging roads, logging trails are made using existing materials, rather than being created using external materials such as gravel. == Characteristics == For ease of transport when using machinery like forwarders on sloped terrain, the logging trail often follows the gradient of the terrain to a logging road or street for further transport of the wood. Width of the trail is typically 3 m to 4 m with a distance of 20 m to 60 m among each other. In terrain steeper than 30% logging trails are usually constructed parallel to the contour of the terrain. A logging trail may eventually convert into a hiking trail. == History == Logging trails became necessary with the advent of machine driven logging. Before that period loggers used horse power instead with lesser need for structured logging trails. == See also == == References == - [[Professional Practice/Public & Cultural]] - [[History and Theory/Temple Architecture/Stone Temples of India/satellites]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 06 - Structural Design/Section 3A - Timber]] - [[Design/Architectural Design/Space Planning]] - [[Building Construction/Specifications and Detailing]] - [[Environmental Design/Building Climatology]] - [[Professional Practice/Construction Management/Site Management]] - [[Interior Architecture/Renovation and Conservation]] - [[Building Services/Fire Protection Systems]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 10 - Landscape and Signs]]
