Great Room Timber Trusses

Great room timber trusses...

for the Kay Project in New York State. Decorative in nature and built with douglas fir timbers. Traditional joinery in a modified king post style.

Beautiful! Thinking about a great room timber frame addition? Big or small, call Vermont Timber Works (or click) ! 802-886-1917

Timber Frame Homes / The GREAT Room.

This timber frame home features a classic saltbox design with native hemlock timbers and traditional joinery.

The great room tends to be the focal point in the timber frame design. This one is very pretty.

Love the contrast between the light walls and the weathered timbers. Great job Vermont Timber!

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).

The King Post Truss in Douglas Fir Timber

Vermont Teddy Bear

A beautiful example of our King Post Truss in Douglas Fir Timbers. Seen above with Steel Joinery.

The king post truss is chosen often for great rooms, living rooms, family rooms...you get the idea. Below is another GREAT example.

Our king post truss in douglas fir, this time with traditional joinery. Nice chandelier! Hubbardton Forge is my bet.
