With fully exposed timber framing and traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery, a timber framed porch, pavilion, or barn can bring rustic charm and elegance to any property.
Post and beam construction is a form of traditional joinery used centuries ago in constructing timber buildings and structures – it was the go to for barns throughout the East and Northeast, and you’ll find timber framing in most barns built before 1900, many of which are standing centuries later!
Timber framing involves assembling a series of vertical posts and horizontal beams, which are connected together by mortise and tenon joints, or dowel or peg joints, rather than modern screws or bolts.
This method of construction creates a strong and durable structure, with the posts and beams forming a framework that supports the other building components. It is also relatively simple to construct, and can be easily adapted to suit a variety of different building designs, looks, and sizing.
Post and beam construction is versatile and makes for a great aesthetic in home or barn construction or in additions to homes and other buildings.
Its strength and durability make it an excellent choice for a variety of building projects, and its beauty will wow your guests for decades to come.
