Staff proposal

The placement of the timber frame is fundamental to load bearing and aesthetics, and is a factor in costs.

Full post and beam frame, the full width, length, and height of the structure.

Partial post and beam frame. Some areas of the eave walls have no frame, for example the bedrooms or kitchen. Or an add-on structure might have a partial frame.

Panelized walls with no timber frame – for example a garage or horse barn.

A-frames. Where an A-frame truss is specified on the plans, no posts are required for the roof loads, (although any second floor area would require posts).Yankee Barn provides heavy steel plates and bolts for these A-frame connections.

Decorative beams – non-structural beams to extend the post and beam aesthetic. To be cut to length and notched on site.
