Welcome to the Cabin Creek
Timber Frame GalleryTimber frame and
post and beam are often equated, but there is a
difference in the two methods of construction.
Post and beam implies the use of metal plates
and bolts, whereas timber frame uses only fitted
wooden pins (trunnels) to lock mortise and tenon
joints.
At Cabin Creek Timber Frames,
we build structures with fitted wooden joints
and wooden pins.

Depending
upon the desires of our client, we sometimes
combine timber frame components with stick-built
portions of the building to result in a "hybrid"
timber frame home or structure.
|
|
Trusses
can be built to fit existing walls, or to fit
into hybrid systems, i.e. part timber frame and
part stick built.
