Heavy Timber Framing in Stowe, Vermont.

Gorgeous heavy timber construction, currently under way at Spruce Peak in Stowe, VT. Take a look!
These double chorded douglas fir trusses span 80 feet and the octagonal design is quite something. See the ring truss? Lots of steel joinery in this one! The Engelberth Crew contracted Vermont Timber Works to coordinate the design of this project as well as the fabrication and assembly of these fine trusses. Engelberth is setting the trusses and doing a great job. NICE progress shots guys, thank you!

Below is a shot of the Spruce Peak Team on one of their visits to Vermont Timber Works.

Heavy Timber & Arched Beams @ Grove City College

The combination of douglas fir timbers with glulam arches make this commercial timber frame project something special. Grove City College contracted us, Vermont Timber Works to coordinate design & engineering, fabricate and erect their new student center timber frame.

Look at those curves, this octagon timber design is quite stunning. Can you tell the arched beams are glulams? No you cant...

Nice view of the campus, wow. Great job Vermont Timber Works!

Timber Frames, Post & Beam Homes and BARNS / Questions & Answers

At Vermont Timber Works we receive many requests for information regarding our timber frames. How much do they cost? (more than conventional) How long does it take? (3-4 months) Will Vermont Timber Works raise the frame? (of course) Can my general contractor handle the raising? (maybe) Why is your hand crafted better than a machined timbers? (if you want custom, you want hand crafted) So many questions! Well, we don't mind the questions and are happy to provide answers. This way you can decide for yourself if our high quality, hand crafted timber frame is right for you.
