Great Room and a Great Weekend

How about taking the long weekend and start planning your great room addition? I think that is a GREAT idea.

I have a timber truss project planned for my personal great room addition. Doug has given me a sketch and I can't wait to get started. Since my home is conventional framed, I feel the great room can't be a full timber frame. Transitioning needs to well thought out, as I may need to add timber accents to the existing areas.

If you are planning a great room addition or a timber frame addition of any kind, give a call. We would love to hear from you. 802.886.1917

Now this is a GREAT ROOM!

Double chorded scissor trusses and a steel super structure make this timber truss design work. Douglas Fir timber was chosen for its strength and beauty.


Vermont Timber Works is able to design, engineer and hand craft timber trusses for all size great rooms. The conference center shown above has a 60ft span!
For more info please give a call, 802-886-1917 or email us.

Great Room Timber Frame Additions

Thinking about adding a GREAT ROOM to your home? How about a timber frame great room from Vermont Timber Works?

The traditional hammer beam bents shown above are buttressed (if you know what that means, then you know why it's important)!


King post timber trusses with a central stone fireplace makes quite a statement. Interested? Many designs and ideas are available, please give a call to discuss. 802-886-1917.
