trusses
Parallel Chord Trusses
Mid-Atlantic Timberframes

With a nearly 90 foot clear span in the middle opening, continuous bottom chords aren't that easy to ship, so they were split in half width-wise and length-wise (at mid span) with a few novel connections.  We threw a few boslter beams into the project too, just because.

Round barn framing
Greenfield Round Barn
Trillium Dell

Iconic round barns are harder and harder to find on the Midwestern landscape.  This one was taken down, restored, and put back up on a county fairground.

How We Work

Leading authorities on pegged mortise and tenon connections and mechanically laminated beams, our team has been responsible for some of the timber frame community’s most impressive projects, while also advancing the science and capabilities of heavy timbers.
