Post and Beam Info for Architects
Post and beam construction in mind? Is your architect familiar with this type of framing? If not, or even if so, send them to our Timber Framing for Architects page! Here you will see examples of our shop drawings, typical post and beam connections, heavy timber specs, engineering info and much more.
All Good Things…
Doug has returned and
our temporary number two man
has stepped down from his post.
Interviewing Kramer this morning,
he stated, “It was fun while
it lasted. Being king of the mountain, however,
is not what it’s cracked up to be. I’m
relieved that Doug will take the barking from here.”
Spring Timber in Vermont (I meant Spring Time)
Thinking about timber framing projects and spring time and more snow is in the forecast…typical Vermont weather, not really a surprise! Let’s take a look at a few pretty snowy post and beam project pictures:
One more…
Ok, enough, Come on spring time!!
Post and Beam Pool House
This post and beam pool house features our king post truss design with purlins.
The stone work and the fireplace is beautiful, I hope we can get some finished pictures.
Douglas fir timbers with a satin polyurethane, very pretty. And, these timbers will deepen in color over time, more red with a hint of orange.
Snowy Challenge
Winter may challenge but
snow never hampers
As brutal as weather turns,
our timber frames go up,
no matter what your timber
specifications may be.
My hands would freeze!
Our team is dedicated and
ready for any snowy challenge.
Mammoth Cave
Packing to work “on site” takes great forethought and
teamwork…tools…check…ladders…check…maps…check…candy…check.
Because when we get there, Vermont Timber Works makes the project rock.
Setting every ceiling beam into it’s precisely fabricated joint.
Tightening every timber frame bolt.
To build a timber frame structure that vacationers will love to see
when they visit Mammoth Cave in Kentucky.
Pergola, Post and Beam Style
Vermont Timber Works provided this beautiful handcrafted post and beam pergola for the Kituwah Language Academy. General contractor installed, project went smoothly (love that)!
Post and Beam for Sunny 95
Working with R. W. Setterlin & the Timber Framer’s Guild, Sunny 95 gets a new post and beam pavilion! Vermont Timber Works hand crafted the new post and beam, thank you Alicia for letting us grab some pics. Beautiful Job!
Fantastic job!
Bearing Weight
How do you get bearing weight calculations just right?
How do you know what stress each joint will take?
And…what is the correct tension?
Can you prevent shear forces from splitting a structure in two?
The answers:
Math (using exceptional computer programs),
Experience (from 23 years in the business)
Yes…if you have an engineer like ours
