The Katonah Memorial Bathhouse TRUSSES are in!

Another beautifully done commercial timber frame project to share with all of you. The Katonah Memorial Bathhouse Timber Trusses are in and the finish work looks to be just about complete. Location is Bedford, NY.

Vermont Timber Works, coordinating with George Rosamond of Lothrop Associates Architects and Peter Camilli & Sons brought this building back to life. The beautiful douglas fir timbers and turned columns carry an FSC Certification (because forests matter).

Douglas Fir Great Room Trusses

Here we have another beautiful douglas fir timber truss for the Guiliano Residence. Traditional joinery, hardwood pegs cut flush and take a look at those finials. It took more than Kellin and Jason to stand this truss up!

Douglas fir in free of heart spec, planed & chamfered timbers, just gorgeous. Heavy timber construction and timber trusses are not often referred to as furniture...but what the craftsmen at Vermont Timber Works create is awfully close.

This will be a wonderful addition to the Guiliano great room.

Vermont Timber Works custom designs and ships trusses like this one across the country. Many times fully assembled which is a wonderful option.

from an idea, to a sketch, to reality...the great room truss.

At Vermont Timber Works we are able to take your ideas and turn them into reality. What you may receive from us initially is a sketch. You tell us if you like it, and then we continue on from there.
The modified hammer beam truss makes many timber great room dreams come true!
This modified hammer beam design works well for timber great rooms, pool houses, conference rooms, etc. Many are douglas fir trusses with or with out timber posts.

Decorative Timber Trusses...

The decorative timber truss, shown here with a gentle arch. The homeowner wanted to add three of these to her great room, so that is just what she did. Not holding the roof up, but I'm sure they look like they do. In beautiful douglas fir timbers and shipped fully assembled by our crew. GC on this job used LIFTS to get the trusses in...we have to find out how that went, and get some finished photos. Check back soon!
