Designing with Heavy Timber

This design was originally sent to us in steel. We were asked to take a look in heavy timber. With an over 66ft top chord in glulam and the rest in natural douglas fir timber, here is our heavy timber design.

Personally, I love it. This timber frame project will be interesting and challenging! I'll keep you posted as design decisions are made...

It's a timber-frame version of the classic Shaker circular barn, isn't it? I'd recognize that structure anywhere! :-)

This is so cool! I am in great awe the materials made are of good quality. Good job!
