I have nbo more context. It from minutes of a general meeting of co-owners of a residence in mountains in Switzerland. All I can find is something related to wood, but I don't think it can be that here as it is concerning repairs. I'm wondering whether "cylinders" would work.

Perhaps the repairs could also include decorative wooden parts close to the garage entrance. Have a look elsewhere in the doc to see if there are any clues.

log edging / palisade

I think that log edging to borders is more likely than log cabins.

I gave "palisade" as an alternative, because it could be something higher used as a (possibly boundary) fence.

logs

Je pense qu'il doit s'agir d'une maison en rondins, qui prend aussi le nom de "fuste" en français.
C'est ce qu'on appelle "a log cabin" en anglais

veneer bolts/billets

I found "veneer bolt", "peeler block", and veneer block" in the IATE.

In the case where it might be wood : "round billet of wood" also from the IATE.
