The Post and The Beam...more than just posts & beams!
Lets talk about post & beam construction. When I joined Vermont Timber Works I knew very little about post & beam construction. Posts are the vertical timbers, beams are the horizontal timbers and of course the braces. AND all of these things seemed to be in the way when designing a custom kitchen into a post and beam home. Well, since then, I've learned about the other timber members that are needed. From the exposed timber trusses to the plates, connectors, rafters and/or purlins, depending on the design. Ridge beams, hammer beams, hammer posts, ties, girts, struts...and more.
If you would like to learn more, please take a moment to review our web site and give us a call with questions. Vermont Timber Works, Inc.

Post and Beam RAISING in Sagaponack, Let's raise your timber frame SERIES.
Doug is on the road contracted as site supervisor for the raising of the Davis Residence Post and Beam. Phase one consists of the structural center section, which is also the focal point of the design. This post and beam constructed frame features reclaimed hand hewn white oak from James & Company. The timbers are reclaimed from various barns and buildings all over the country and delivered to Alabama for hand selection.
I'll be adding more to this post, please check back!
