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.

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.

Hi, I am looking at this 14×18 timber pavilion. I have 2 questions, the first is I want a 14×14 pavilion with traditional joinery would this be the right one for me to start with and just minus 4 feet off the length? my second question is looking at the plans it doesn’t state how the rafters are attached, would they just use structural screws and if so it looks like possibly 2 different sizes will be needed, what do you recommend?
Yes, it would be pretty easy to make the adjustment from 18′ to 14′. If you end up needing help with that, we do offer custom design services here. And the rafters are attached with structural screws – 6mmx200mm with minimum 4″ imbedment into the beam
On the 18′ by 12′ model, I see you mention you actually include 2 different prints one stand alone and one attaching to the gable end of a house. can you offer that on this as well ?? I will be attaching to my house but wanted just a little more length off the house.
No, this plan is designed as a freestanding but you could make adjustments to attach to a house.
What are the timber specs for this 14 X 18? 8X8 /6X6/4X4 construction?
You can see the timber sizes on the specifications tab of this page
Interested in the 14′ x 18′ Heavy timber pavilion design. Need to know the height from ground to walk under beams please. Also, are the overhangs of both rafter edges and gable 24″? Making the total covered space 16′ x 20″?
It’s 7′-7 7/8″ below the tie beam and 9’9 7/8″ to the top of the 8×12 plate. The overhangs are 2′-0″ all around.
