Post and Beam Horse Barn

Post and beam construction makes for a wonderful horse barn. This design features a shed roof for tractor or horse trailer. (Great idea Carole)!

Designed with horses in mind and engineered for hay storage by Monahon Architects & Vermont Timber Works, Inc.

Time to fill up this hayloft! The snow is melting as the sun warms. Mud season is going quickly this year.

Traditional joinery, native hemlock timbers, carefully hand crafted for 2 very lucky horses.

posts and beams and post and beam and posts .....you get the picture!

Posts and beams throughout, this is what many dream homes are made of. Post and beam construction combined with traditional joinery and custom designs, available at Vermont Timber Works, Inc.

Native hemlock timbers where chosen for the rustic barn frame. Pretty fireplace!

One of my favorite post and beam homes...

Vermont Timber Works Chase House. This 24 x 40 hemlock post and beam home has a very straight forward design.
Can you see the 4 bents? 3 bays?
How about now?

This is a wonderful starter home design with plenty of timber frame addition possibilities as your family grows.

One thought is a post and beam garage with living space above. Connecting through a timber frame breeze way which includes a new post and beam entry and porch area. I think that is a great idea!

Post & Beam Raising in Long Island

The Vermont Timber Works crew is in Jamesport, Long Island this week, raising a post and beam timber frame for John Mazur III. Here is a quick progress shot, we are raising this timber frame with a lull instead of a crane.
Thanks for the photo John!

Post & Beam Construction @ its Finest!

The custom designed post and beam home, it doesn't get much better than this in our eyes. Timber in rough sawn native hemlock with an extra sanding process. (removing the sweater catchers) Love that chandelier!

Custom designing give you so many options, and so many choices. You are not locked into a pre-designed or pre-engineered frame at Vermont Timber Works. Whether it be a very rustic look in hand hewn pine, or a more finished look in planed & chamfered douglas fir, or something in the middle. If a quality, custom designed, hand crafted timber frame, Vermont Timber Works is the company for you. Call us 802-886-1917.

The Chase House, Post & Beam Construction

The Chase House, Post & Beam Construction by Vermont Timber Works, Inc.
The Chase House is one of our most popular post and beam homes. Sue and I receive many calls regarding budgetary pricing for it. Although we custom design and engineer each timber frame, many times we start with a project like the this one and customize it to suit the individual needs of the client. Here is the 24 X 40 floor plan, feel free to use it for ideas.

Charming & rustic with rough sawn hemlock timber and traditional joinery. The kitchen cabinetry looks to be custom also, beautiful.

Classic and clean the painted walls ready set off the timber frame, I just love it.

This photo gets your attention, the finished exterior. Just gorgeous and a wonderful example of post & beam construction.

Post and Beam Kitchen Area, very nice!

This home has a full post and beam frame in native hemlock timbers. Rustic look continues right into the kitchen and I really like the peninsula. It separates the dining room just enough. Even in a combination of conventional and heavy timber construction we can include those ceiling beams.

Each timber frame project is custom designed to suit and we are happy to offer that. No cookie cutter or kit homes from Vermont Timber Works. Not that there is anything wrong with that...it's just not our way.

Is a Horse Barn in your future?

Horse Barns are one of the many structures that post and beam construction is wonderful for.

Timbers in rough sawn hemlock make for a rustic look and using native timber is sometimes a cost savings. This frame shown is not a horse barn, it's a party barn and located in Dublin, NH.

Now this is an equipment barn and I think the layout would make a great horse barn. Stalls on either side, hay loft in the center, throw the hay right down into the stalls....!

At Vermont Timber Works we are chosen for many types of timber frames, including lots of BARNS!

This post and beam horse barn can be found on Martha's Vineyard. With rough sawn hemlock timbers and traditional joinery, mortise and tenon with hardwood pegs. These are some lucky horses!
The loft area needed to be strong enough for hay storage, and it is. (We run engineering on all of our frames). Thank you Peter Zelonis, P.E. @ Vermont Timber Works.
