the greatest rooms need custom designed timber trusses...

Well, at least that what we recommend @ Vermont Timber Works, Inc. even Kramer agrees :)

Vermont Timber Works custom designs, engineers and hand crafts heavy timber roof trusses. We work on all kinds of projects from residential great rooms to churches to hotels, horse barns, commercial buildings and more! While all our timber trusses look decorative, most are actually structural and carry heavy roof loads.
We use traditional mortise and tenon joinery held with hardwood pegs and decorative steel plate connections with heavy bolts. Steel joinery is available (Teddy Bears are EXTRA).

King Post Truss Design / Welcome CADWork to Vermont Timber Works.

This 3d king post truss rendering is courtesy of Doug and our new CAD software. CADwork. Check is in the mail, we own it!

Doug is working on Westbrook Middle School preliminary shop drawings, and Pete is detailing our Neely Residence.

So far, Pete seems to having a little more fun than Doug with our new program. Soon all of our timber projects will be drawn and detailed in CADWork.

Vermont Timber Works, hand crafted timber trusses, custom designed & engineered for Commercial, Residential & Religious Buildings.

start with a sketch/ Great Room Timber Trusses

Your great room design may start with a idea, like adding timber trusses. Something like this?

This timber truss design is shown below in a structural nature, see the steel tie rod? Purely decorative with out the steel (i.e. NOT holding the roof up). Hand hewn eastern white pine, with curved beams and corbels at the wall.
