Timber Frames


Timber frames are some of the most interesting and distinct structures in the world. If you have been thinking of creating a post and beam frame of your own, you already know that the number of options available are endless.



When considering companies to work with on your new timber frame, there are many important factors to keep in mind. Depending on the level of detail you require, there are different ways to cut a timber frame. Vermont Timber Works still cuts every piece of our work by hand. Our post and beam components are hand crafted in our shop in North Springfield, VT.



We also offer more than 20 years of experience in designing, engineering, and erecting timber frames all over the country. By maintaining a strictly customized approach to timber framing, we can offer a level of detail and personalized care to your frame that will not find anywhere else. Post and beam structures are our passion, and we think it shows in our work. Please visit our website and view some of our projects.

Heavy Timber Construction-

The phones at Vermont Timber Works have been ringing off the hook with requests for bids for Heavy Timber Construction.
Post and Beam style Timber Framing and Heavy Timber Trusses are being incorporated into projects from all around the United States (and beyond).

Travis is working on a Heavy Timber Church in Manasquan, NJ.

(This is NOT the church Travis is working on. It's one we've already done- but I needed the picture for effect).

Sandy is working on the Oakwood Shores Pavilion in Surfside, TX,
(Here's a rendering done by our structural engineer, Peter Zelonis)- This would be a great job Sandy. Good Luck!
I am working presently on a Hybrid Style Post and Beam Home in Quebec, Canada. In case you aren't familiar with hybrid construction, we will marry two different types of building- Heavy Timber Construction and Conventional building methods to create one beautiful home.

Of course we have many other opportunities in the "hopper", but this will give you an idea of the broad spectrum of projects we bid on a daily basis.
