What's Included

We take immense pride in our team of exceptionally skilled timber frame designers. Each member is not only equipped with the finest tools but also possesses a profound understanding of how different materials intricately come together to realize your vision. This deep expertise in both design and material synergy is crucial in crafting the ideal timber frame structure tailored just for you.
Our commitment to excellence extends to our engineering team, specialists in timber frame structures, many of whom hold doctorates in their field. Sharing your passion for timber framing, our engineers work closely with you, ensuring that every aspect of the frame's design is customized to suit your specific location. This collaborative process guarantees that you receive all necessary documentation for permits, including detailed engineered reaction diagrams, ensuring your construction proceeds smoothly and stays on schedule.
The culmination of this meticulous process is a comprehensive set of construction drawings. These detailed plans not only provide a clear guide for your kit's assembly but also include a complete list of timbers and fasteners, serving as an invaluable reference throughout the installation of your frame. Our goal is to ensure that every step, from initial design to final construction, is seamless, transparent, and perfectly aligned with your project's needs.
After we've collaboratively chosen the ideal wood type for your project, we proceed to source the highest quality timber through our network of trusted mills. Ensuring that every piece meets our exacting standards, we then transport the timber to one of our cutting facilities. There, the joinery is meticulously crafted using CNC machines. Every joint, drilling, mortise, and tenon is cut with precision, adhering to tight tolerances for impeccable quality and fit.
Following the cutting process, all timbers are systematically labeled according to the production numbers assigned during the creation of your model and plans. This meticulous process ensures that every component of your timber frame is prepared with the utmost attention to detail, ready for the next phase of your project.
Included with your package are all the pegs, fasteners, screws, and connectors you need to put your ready-to-raise frame together. You will also get a detailed list for you to refer to while raising your frame.
We carefully package and securely transport your timber frame and all necessary hardware directly to your location. In sync with you, we'll coordinate the delivery schedule, ensuring that we agree on an approximate time on the designated date. To facilitate a smooth and safe unloading process, it's important to have equipment on hand capable of lifting up to 5,000 lbs. Once everything is delivered and in place, the exciting phase of bringing your project to life begins.

At Timber Frame HQ, we embrace the philosophy of 'One Person, One Project.' This approach ensures that each client is paired with a dedicated Project Manager who will be your point of contact throughout the entire project. We believe in offering personalized, consistent support to make your journey with us as smooth and fulfilling as possible.
Our commitment extends beyond just providing exceptional timber frames. As your construction resource, we'll be by your side for the duration of your project, ready to offer expert advice, support, and answers to all your queries. Our goal is to make the process of raising your timber frame not just successful, but also a deeply rewarding experience.

What are the finished height dimensions for this 12X24 Gothic Arch Pavilion? We have an 11 foot tall X 8 foot wide trailer we’d like to house but can’t find the height measurements listed anywhere on this page. What is the pass through height and width?
Thanks
Hi Eric, yes if you maximized the posts, the clearance would be just above 11’.
Hi,
I live in belgium. Is this plan also available in the metric system?
I would like to make a pavilion of 10 meters by 3.5 meters. Can I do this with the same plan or does it need to be adjusted?
Thanks.
Tim, our plans are in Imperial measurements; not metric. There are several websites that calculate the conversions.
Hi,
I’d like to order these exact plans but with three bays instead of two. Is that something I could possibly have done?
Thanks,
Austin.
We do take on custom projects and would like to talk to you further about yours. Check out our page, HERE, describing what we offer and the process of our custom design services. Scroll to the bottom of the page and fill out the design questionnaire so we can understand your needs.
Could this still hold up shingle roofing? Would you still need to add rafters to this to add shingles? Or would this call for a metal roof of some kind?
Our plans are designed to accept metal or shingle roofing.
Could you share the total number of board feet this plan requires, also are there any photos of it completed? Thanks
That design requires 1300.7 board feet. We do not have any photographs, sorry.
I see from a previous post the vertical clearance is 11 feet. What is the side to side clearance for a vehicle? I need a carport for a 3/4 ton pickup truck. The width with mirrors is 8.75 feet. The width with the doors half way open is 10.7 feet. At what vertical height do the braces start? What is the width between braces at 7 feet up from the ground?
Gene, the width dimension is 12′-0″ from outside to outside of the 6×8 posts (the 8″ side).The knee braces star 5′-0″ from the ground.
