Douglas Fir Timber Trusses

Vermont Timber Works is proud to share with you our latest timber frame commercial project. MANY heavy timber trusses create the new Camp Hayden Dining Hall for the Fresh Air Fund.

Impressive! Peeled poles, traditional joinery and steel joinery and LOTS of design coordination. Team members include...Vermont Timber Works (of course), The Geddis Partnership, Cuoco Engineering and Storm King Contracting.

Thank you Fresh Air Fund and The Sharpe Reservation, we are very happy with this latest timber frame creation.

(This design IS structural, but if it wasn't...you wouldn't be able to tell)!
