We all know about the posts and the beams but what keeps the timber frame up? Above is a typical section view to give you an idea of the many components. Connecting beams together in ways that are strong and beautiful is KEY. Timbers need to be sized appropriately and joints need to stay tight over time. Vermont Timber Works offers traditional joinery, mortise and tenon with hard wood pegs. The joint itself carries most of the load and the peg keeps the joint in place. Steel joinery is also available.
