Snow, Wind, Sleet and Timber Frames in Vermont.

Timber frames are hand crafted in our North Springfield, VT shop and shipped all over the country, regardless of the season. Our Vermont Timber Works Crew raises many of these timber frames. As I type, warm at my desk, Tommy and the guys are in Rockingham, VT organizing and assembling a timber frame house. The weather today is not bad, but I bet the wind has a bite to it!

We assemble the bents and sections on the ground, then raise them into place with a crane and fork truck. It's very cool to watch. This project actually has 2 timber frame structures, the first being the timber frame barn AND we have a video on youtube...take a look!

The BOYS are back from another Timber Frame Raising.

Another timber frame barn by Vermont Timber Works and another happy client. This rough sawn hemlock timber frame will be a working barn. Above shows the finished frame including nailers. Traditional Joinery with pegs extended, a small amount of steel was needed on this timber frame project.

Here are some progress shots, taken by Travis...Enjoy!

Our timber frame bents are assembled on the ground and raised with a lull and/or a crane. We used both on this job.
Above Doug, Dan and Rick are all up on the frame. Much coordination goes into a successful timber frame raising.

MJ and Kellin are helping from below and Rick and Dan work from above.

Vermont Timber Works does not raise all of our timber frames, but the majority of our full timber frame projects, we do.
Hand crafted, custom designed and engineered to suit the needs of each client. That's VTW, don't settle for anything less!
