Post and Beam & Timber Frame Raising, Very Exciting!

Let's RAISE your Timber Frame!



Now this is the most exciting part, the raising of your post and beam frame (my opinion of course)! The crew at Vermont Timber Works takes as much pride and care in their raisings as they do in fabrication and assembly. The handcrafted quality shows. Take a look at some of my personal favorite timber frame raisings...Our Brigham Hill Barn.




The Charney Residence Post and Beam Home was my first raising. It was so fun to watch and I learned so much about our traditional joinery. Coordination between the crane and the Vermont Timber Works team needs to be right on!
Here is our Kenny Stable Horse Barn, which can be found on Martha's Vinyard. These lucky horses are surrounded by beautiful douglas fir timbers, planed & chamfered for a smooth and classic look.




If you like something a bit more rustic, take a look at our Sand's Barn. This post and beam party barn features rough sawn and weathered hemlock timbers. AND traditional joinery, of course!
This last photo is a great one. Mikey hammering in those joinery pegs. Great job Vermont Timber Works.
