Day 3 with the crane and this beautiful heavy timber frame barn is almost finished. I hope to have many pictures to post shortly.
Dan and Rick surprised the crew on the job site this morning with fresh bagels and donuts. I'm sure the boys were happy about that!
Steve and Denise are headed out to watch the final stages of this timber frame barn raising.
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.
Our Southern Vermont Welcome Center, just beyond the Massachusetts border on 91 North is an authentic, hand hewn, white pine timber frame barn.
This post & beam barn frame is 48' x 96' and was custom built in the style of old Vermont barns. By whom you ask? Well, Vermont Timber Works, of course.
My 2 horses are wonderful and their barn is shown above, and it's okay for now. My dream for them is a timber frame working horse barn. Perhaps something like this...
The Duker Big Barn is a wonderful example of how beautiful and functional a timber frame barn can be. My horse barn will not be as large, but I love this layout.
One of our most popular barn designs, we get so many calls on this one!
