What is Timber Framing?
Timber framing, the art of building with heavy timbers, is a testament to the beauty and strength of natural materials. The massive posts and beams, typically 6x6 inches or larger, are joined together using traditional mortise and tenon joinery secured with wooden pegs. This creates a structural skeleton that is not only incredibly strong but also exudes a unique aesthetic appeal.
This ancient building method has endured for good reason: timber frame structures built centuries ago still stand today, a testament to the durability and craftsmanship at the heart of this approach.
The Timber Frame Advantage
Traditional Craft Meets Modern Precision
At Timber Frame HQ, we honor traditional timber framing while leveraging CNC technology for precision and efficiency. Every timber is carefully cut, pre-labeled, and delivered ready to raise. You get the timeless beauty of centuries-old joinery, combined with the accuracy and support that make your project manageable—whether you're a seasoned builder or tackling your first frame.
Since 2010, we've helped thousands of homeowners, builders, and architects create lasting timber frame structures. From backyard pavilions and workshops to custom dream homes, we're here to guide you through every step—with plans, kits, expert advice, and the kind of responsive support you'd expect from people who genuinely care about your success.
