of the most enduring forms in timber framing, having supported roofs for centuries. At its heart lies a critical connection: where the vertical king post meets the horizontal tie beam. Traditionally, this joint used a through-tenon that passes completely through the tie beam and is secured with hardwood wedges or pegs. While beautiful and time-tested, this approach requires removing substantial material from both members and demands high precision. The king post-to-tie beam connection using all-thread and bolts represents a hybrid approach that honors traditional aesthetics while leveraging modern materials to create a stronger, more efficient joint with less material removal. Understanding the Joint This connection consists of four key components: The King Post: A vertical timber extending from the truss apex down to the tie beam, featuring a reduced tenon at its base that helps position the joint during assembly. The Tie Beam: A horizontal timber spanning between posts or walls, resisting the outward thrust from roof loads. The All-thread Rod: A threaded steel rod running vertically through both timbers, providing the primary tensile strength. Bearing Plates and Hardware: Steel plates that distribute the load from the all-thread across the timber surface, with nuts compressing the joint together. How It Works When roof loads push down on the rafters, they create pressure that wants to sag the tie beam and spread the walls. The king post counters this by working in tension—hanging from the roof peak and pulling upward on the tie beam's center. In this connection, the steel rod carries most of the tensile load through the timber cores. The reduced tenon provides lateral stability, preventing the king post from shifting sideways while the all-thread handles the pulling forces. This division of labor is key: wood handles compression bearing, steel handles tension. <img decoding="async" class="tve_image wp-image-65250 tcb-moved-image" alt="" data-id="65250" width="945" data-init-width="1280" height="532" data-init-height="720" title="" loading="lazy" src="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/King-Post-to-Tie-Beam-with-All-thread-and-Bolts-2d-detail.png" data-link-wrap="true" data-width="945" data-height="532" style="aspect-ratio: auto 1280 / 720;" data-css="tve-u-19a214e604c" srcset="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/King-Post-to-Tie-Beam-with-All-thread-and-Bolts-2d-detail.png 1280w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/King-Post-to-Tie-Beam-with-All-thread-and-Bolts-2d-detail-300x169.png 300w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/King-Post-to-Tie-Beam-with-All-thread-and-Bolts-2d-detail-1024x576.png 1024w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/King-Post-to-Tie-Beam-with-All-thread-and-Bolts-2d-detail-768x432.png 768w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/King-Post-to-Tie-Beam-with-All-thread-and-Bolts-2d-detail-600x338.png 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 945px) 100vw, 945px" /> Advantages Preserving Timber Integrity Traditional through-tenon joints remove 30-40% of the tie beam's cross-section. For a beam working in tension, this significantly weakens it exactly where strength is needed most. The all-thread approach requires only a 3/4" to 1" diameter hole plus a shallow mortise, leaving far more material to resist tensile forces. Installation Efficiency Faster Cutting: Drilling centered holes is considerably faster than hand-cutting precise through-mortises and extended tenons. Easier Fit-up: The all-thread provides adjustment capability during assembly. Slight misalignments can be accommodated, whereas traditional wedged tenons require recutting if alignment is off. Field Adjustment: Nuts can be retightened as timbers season and shrink. Traditional pegged joints offer no such adjustability once assembled. Reduced Skill Threshold: While timber framing always demands skill, drilling accurate holes is more forgiving than cutting perfect mortise and tenon joints. Technical Best Practices Sizing the All-thread Rod diameter should be determined by engineering calculations based on tie beam span, roof loads, timber species and grade, and building code requirements. Common sizes range from 5/8" for lighter residential applications to 1" or larger for heavier loads. Engineering must verify the all-thread capacity exceeds calculated tension with appropriate safety factors. Bearing Plate Design Plates distribute concentrated loads across timber surfaces, preventing local crushing. They should be: Sized generously (4"x4" minimum, larger for heavier loads) Thick enough to resist bending (1/4" to 3/8" steel plate) Positioned on solid wood, avoiding knots Recessed for aesthetic purposes The Reduced Tenon While all-thread carries primary tensile loads, the reduced tenon provides: Lateral Restraint: Prevents rotation and lateral shifting Installation Guide: Helps position and align during assembly Bearing Surface: Provides some compression bearing The tenon should be 2" to 4" deep—enough for meaningful support without significantly weakening the tie beam. A common configuration uses a centered tenon that's 2" thick and 3" to 4" deep on 8"x8" or larger timbers. Hardware Concealment The top bearing plate recesses into the king post bottom, hiding hardware when viewed from below. Similarly, the bottom plate can recess into the tie beam's top surface, keeping the bottom face uninterrupted by visible metal. Recesses should be: Slightly larger than plates for easy placement Deep enough to fully contain plate and washer Clean-cut with square corners Positioned to avoid wood defects <img decoding="async" class="tve_image tcb-moved-image wp-image-65247" alt="" data-id="65247" width="945" data-init-width="1080" height="487" data-init-height="557" title="" loading="lazy" src="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/King-Post-to-Tie-Beam-with-All-thread-and-Bolts_5.png" data-link-wrap="true" data-width="945" data-height="487" style="aspect-ratio: auto 1080 / 557;" data-css="tve-u-19a20f48ce3" srcset="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/King-Post-to-Tie-Beam-with-All-thread-and-Bolts_5.png 1080w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/King-Post-to-Tie-Beam-with-All-thread-and-Bolts_5-300x155.png 300w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/King-Post-to-Tie-Beam-with-All-thread-and-Bolts_5-1024x528.png 1024w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/King-Post-to-Tie-Beam-with-All-thread-and-Bolts_5-768x396.png 768w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/King-Post-to-Tie-Beam-with-All-thread-and-Bolts_5-600x309.png 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 945px) 100vw, 945px" /> Aesthetic Considerations With careful detailing, hardware can be nearly invisible. Recessed plates hide within timber surfaces, leaving only natural wood visible. Alternatively, exposed hardware can become a design feature in contemporary frames, with attractive nuts and custom plates expressing honest structure. Decorative finials can be hollow-bored to slip over protruding all-thread. Chamfered edges and decorative profiles add visual interest. Use penetrating oils for finishes allowing wood movement and retightening capability. Protect steel from corrosion—use galvanized or stainless steel in high-moisture applications. Maintenance Inspect quarterly during the first year for loosening, gaps, checking, or corrosion. Retighten as needed. After the first year, annual inspections suffice. When properly designed, installed, and maintained, these connections perform reliably for the structure's life—potentially centuries. Conclusion The king post to tie beam connection using all-thread represents timber framing's evolution. It doesn't replace traditional joinery—nothing matches expertly cut mortise and tenon beauty. Rather, it adds another option offering practical advantages in strength, speed, and structural performance. For production shops, engineered projects, or efficiency-driven situations, all-thread delivers reliable results with less material removal and faster fabrication. For hybrid frames incorporating steel elements, it fits naturally. For framers valuing traditional aesthetics but needing engineered connections, it provides strength while hiding steel within timbers. Choose based on your priorities: craft demonstration or efficiency? Historical reproduction or contemporary structure? Engineering requirements? Green or dried timber? The answers guide appropriate joinery choice. Master timber framers understand good craftsmanship means choosing wisely from all available methods to create strong, beautiful, lasting structures. The all-thread connection is simply another well-designed tool. The vertical steel rod, hidden within timbers, silently carries enormous loads while wood presents the warm, natural aesthetic that has drawn people to timber framing for generations—a perfect example of thoughtful design honoring tradition while embracing modern materials and methods. <img decoding="async" class="tve_image wp-image-65244" alt="" data-id="65244" width="945" data-init-width="1080" height="1071" data-init-height="1224" title="" loading="lazy" src="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/King-Post-to-Tie-Beam-with-All-thread-and-Bolts_2.png" data-link-wrap="true" data-width="945" data-height="1071" style="aspect-ratio: auto 1080 / 1224;" srcset="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/King-Post-to-Tie-Beam-with-All-thread-and-Bolts_2.png 1080w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/King-Post-to-Tie-Beam-with-All-thread-and-Bolts_2-265x300.png 265w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/King-Post-to-Tie-Beam-with-All-thread-and-Bolts_2-904x1024.png 904w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/King-Post-to-Tie-Beam-with-All-thread-and-Bolts_2-768x870.png 768w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/King-Post-to-Tie-Beam-with-All-thread-and-Bolts_2-600x680.png 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 945px) 100vw, 945px" /> The post King Post to Tie Beam with All-thread and Bolts appeared first on Timber Frame HQ.

technique designed to resist outward thrust—commonly found in anchor beams of Dutch-style barns that have shaped the New England landscape for centuries. This joint features a through tenon that passes entirely through the mortise and is secured with a wedge, which draws the joint tight and significantly increases its strength—more than wooden pegs alone can provide. The wedge actively resists spreading forces, keeping the frame locked in place. In this example, the tenon is rounded at the end, a stylistic detail known as an embellishment. The tenon also extends well beyond the wedge, a feature referred to as relish, which adds even more holding power and long-term durability against heavy structural loads. Whether you're restoring a barn or designing a timber frame with historical integrity, the Dutch barn style through tenon is a proven solution for critical load paths—especially where anchor beams meet vertical posts.

a specific type of mortise and tenon joint used primarily in timber framing. It involves a tenon (the projecting piece of wood) that fits into a mortise (the cavity) cut into another timber. The term "diminished housing" refers to the gradual reduction or "diminishing" of the housing depth along the joint's length. This design allows for a snug fit and distributes the load evenly across the joint. Purpose and Applications Load Distribution: The diminished housing joint is designed to handle substantial loads by spreading the stress over a larger area, reducing the likelihood of joint failure. Structural Stability: It enhances the overall stability of the frame by creating a tight connection between timbers. Aesthetic Appeal: The joint allows for clean lines and seamless connections, contributing to the visual appeal of timber-framed structures. Common Uses: Typically used in beam-to-post connections, roof structures, and where beams intersect at various angles. Advantages Over Other Joints Enhanced Strength: The gradual reduction in housing depth minimizes stress concentrations. Improved Fit: Allows for precision fitting, reducing gaps that could weaken the structure. Versatility: Suitable for various timber sizes and can accommodate complex framing designs. Conclusion The "1" diminished housing joint is a cornerstone in the art of timber framing, combining strength, durability, and aesthetic beauty. Understanding and mastering this joint not only enhances the structural integrity of your projects but also connects you to a rich history of craftsmanship. Whether you're a seasoned timber framer or a woodworking enthusiast, incorporating the diminished housing joint into your repertoire is a valuable addition to your skills. <img decoding="async" width="800" height="514" class="wp-image-772" title="" src="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/3d-isometric-timer-detail-diminished-housing.jpg" alt="3d Diminished Housing Detail" srcset="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/3d-isometric-timer-detail-diminished-housing.jpg 800w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/3d-isometric-timer-detail-diminished-housing-600x386.jpg 600w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/3d-isometric-timer-detail-diminished-housing-300x192.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /> The post Mortise and Tenon With A Diminished Housing appeared first on Timber Frame HQ.

and enduring method in timber framing, known for its strength and durability. This joint consists of a tenon, or tongue, that fits snugly into a corresponding mortise, or cavity, cut into a beam or post. A wedge is then driven into a slot cut through the tenon, expanding the joint and locking it in place. Variations of the Wedged Mortise and Tenon Joint This joint has several variations, each suited to different applications in timber framing. A through tenon extends entirely through the post or beam, allowing the wedge to be visible on the opposite side. This type is often used where maximum strength is required. On the other hand, a blind tenon does not extend through the beam, creating a more seamless appearance while still providing substantial strength. Advantages of the Wedged Mortise and Tenon Joint One of the key advantages of this joint is its ability to self-tighten over time. As the wood shrinks, the wedge exerts additional pressure on the tenon, ensuring the joint remains tight and secure. This makes it particularly valuable in structures that experience significant seasonal changes. Historical Context and Modern Applications Historically, the wedged mortise and tenon joint have been used in various structures, from medieval cathedrals to traditional barns. Its longevity is a testament to its effectiveness. This joint is still widely used in modern timber framing, particularly in custom projects where strength and aesthetic appeal are paramount. Best Practices for Cutting the Joint Precision is crucial when cutting a wedged mortise and tenon joint. The mortise should be slightly longer than the tenon to allow room for the wedge, and the tenon should fit snugly into the mortise before the wedge is inserted. Using sharp tools and taking care during layout and cutting will result in a clean, strong joint. Conclusion The wedged mortise and tenon joint remains a timber framing cornerstone, offering historical significance and modern-day practicality. Whether you're working on a traditional project or a contemporary design, this joint provides a reliable, time-tested solution that adds strength and character to your structure. <img decoding="async"

There is a stub tenon to act as a locator and to ensure you cannot see through the beam and post after the timber dries a bit. It also has a diminished housing to increase the bearing surface for the beam. These connectors can take quite a bit of tension and this is where they are employed more and more in today’s timber frames. Why Choose Timberlinx? Timberlinx connectors are known for their strength and reliability, making them a preferred choice among modern timber frame builders. Their ability to handle substantial loads and provide secure connections sets them apart from other joinery methods. Additional Resources: Specifications and Load Capacities: Detailed information on the technical specifications and load capacities of the A095 connector can be found on the Timberlinx website. <img decoding="async" class="tve_image wp-image-58745 tve_evt_manager_listen tve_et_click" alt="" data-id="58745" width="465" data-init-width="997" height="369" data-init-height="792" title="TimberLinx 095_2" loading="lazy" src="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/TimberLinx-095_2.jpg" data-width="465" data-height="369" data-tcb-events="__TCB_EVENT_[{"t":"click","a":"thrive_zoom","config":{"id":"58745","size":"full"}}]_TNEVE_BCT__" style="aspect-ratio: auto 997 / 792;" srcset="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/TimberLinx-095_2.jpg 997w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/TimberLinx-095_2-300x238.jpg 300w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/TimberLinx-095_2-768x610.jpg 768w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/TimberLinx-095_2-600x477.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 465px) 100vw, 465px" /> Learn More and Purchase the Timberlinx 095 in our Shop Buy Now Download Connection Details <img decoding="async" class="wp-image-7121 aligncenter" src="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Timber-Linx-095.jpg" alt="Timber Linx 095" width="635" height="384" srcset="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Timber-Linx-095.jpg 1000w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Timber-Linx-095-600x362.jpg 600w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Timber-Linx-095-300x181.jpg 300w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Timber-Linx-095-768x464.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 635px) 100vw, 635px" /> The post Timberlinx A095 – Post and Beam Connector appeared first on Timber Frame HQ.

Timber framing has many instances when multiple frame elements converge near each other. In this case, the tie beam and wall girt both connect to the post at the same spot. One elegant solution is to use a spline joint on one horizontal member to not take too much wood out of the corner joint. The spline is set at the bottom edge of the timber. Since the tenon on the adjacent timber is located high on the beam, there is no conflict between the two. The spline joint adds an exciting element to the joinery of the frame. <img decoding="async" width="1024" height="697" src="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/corner-joint-with-spline-14_1-1024x697.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-40219" srcset="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/corner-joint-with-spline-14_1-1024x697.jpg 1024w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/corner-joint-with-spline-14_1-600x408.jpg 600w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/corner-joint-with-spline-14_1-1000x681.jpg 1000w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/corner-joint-with-spline-14_1-300x204.jpg 300w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/corner-joint-with-spline-14_1-768x523.jpg 768w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/corner-joint-with-spline-14_1.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /> <img decoding="async" width="1024" height="700" src="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/corner-joint-with-spline-15_1-1024x700.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-40220" srcset="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/corner-joint-with-spline-15_1-1024x700.jpg 1024w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/corner-joint-with-spline-15_1-600x410.jpg 600w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/corner-joint-with-spline-15_1-1000x683.jpg 1000w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/corner-joint-with-spline-15_1-300x205.jpg 300w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/corner-joint-with-spline-15_1-768x525.jpg 768w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/corner-joint-with-spline-15_1.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /> <img decoding="async" width="1024" height="890" src="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Post-with-2-Beams-Tenon-and-Spline_2-1024x890.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-50664" srcset="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Post-with-2-Beams-Tenon-and-Spline_2-1024x890.jpg 1024w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Post-with-2-Beams-Tenon-and-Spline_2-600x521.jpg 600w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Post-with-2-Beams-Tenon-and-Spline_2-300x261.jpg 300w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Post-with-2-Beams-Tenon-and-Spline_2-768x667.jpg 768w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Post-with-2-Beams-Tenon-and-Spline_2.jpg 1169w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /> The post Timber Frame Corner Joint with Spline and a Tenon appeared first on Timber Frame HQ.

A king post truss is one of the most common types of trusses and is a very strong one, since the bottom chord prevents spreading. This example is a Haunched King Post. The top chords have stub tenons (tenons that extend all the way across the face of the timber) and the sides of the king post are beveled to create a shoulder for the top chords to rest upon. That creates an attractive assembly. In order to avoid having to cut too much wood away from the king post, this example uses steel All Thread rods to tie everything together. This allows faster cutting, fit up and assembly. The all thread is inserted into notches cut into the top chords and through a hole bored into the king post. Since this occurs at the top of the timbers, the metal is not visible and the entire assembly appears perfectly traditional. The ridge beam is set into a shoulder cut into the king post, and secured with hidden structural screws. Using hidden metal connectors in this fashion has become more and more common. It is a great way to strengthen the frame without sacrificing the beauty of traditional joinery.

Here we will take a look at the joinery of the hammer beam to hammer post in particular. The hammer beam is the horizontal member, and the hammer post is the vertical one. The diagonal timber is the hammer brace. The hammer post is joined to the hammer beam with an attractive through tenon and further secured with three hardwood pegs. The hammer beam is embellished with a chamfer. The hammer brace is joined to the hammer post with a tenon, which is set into the hammer post with a blind mortise. The "shoulder" makes for a clean and strong connection. <img decoding="async" class="tve_image wp-image-49492 tve_evt_manager_listen tve_et_click" alt="" data-id="49492" width="590" data-init-width="590" height="874" data-init-height="874" title="Hammer Beam to Hammer Post_4" loading="lazy" src="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Hammer-Beam-to-Hammer-Post_4.jpg" data-link-wrap="true" data-width="590" data-height="874" data-tcb-events="__TCB_EVENT_[{"t":"click","a":"thrive_zoom","config":{"id":"49492","size":"full"}}]_TNEVE_BCT__" style="aspect-ratio: auto 590 / 874;" srcset="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Hammer-Beam-to-Hammer-Post_4.jpg 590w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Hammer-Beam-to-Hammer-Post_4-203x300.jpg 203w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px" /> <img decoding="async" class="tve_image wp-image-49489 tcb-moved-image" alt="" data-id="49489" width="590" data-init-width="625" height="770" data-init-height="816" title="Hammer Beam to Hammer Post_1" loading="lazy" src="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Hammer-Beam-to-Hammer-Post_1.jpg" data-link-wrap="true" data-width="590" data-height="770" style="aspect-ratio: auto 625 / 816;" data-css="tve-u-181debc7a8b" srcset="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Hammer-Beam-to-Hammer-Post_1.jpg 625w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Hammer-Beam-to-Hammer-Post_1-600x783.jpg 600w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Hammer-Beam-to-Hammer-Post_1-230x300.jpg 230w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px" /> <img decoding="async" class="tve_image wp-image-49490 tve_evt_manager_listen tve_et_click" alt="" data-id="49490" width="590" data-init-width="594" height="884" data-init-height="890" title="" loading="lazy" src="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Hammer-Beam-to-Hammer-Post_2.jpg" data-link-wrap="true" data-width="590" data-height="884" data-tcb-events="__TCB_EVENT_[{"t":"click","a":"thrive_zoom","config":{"id":"49490","size":"full"}}]_TNEVE_BCT__" style="aspect-ratio: auto 594 / 890;" srcset="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Hammer-Beam-to-Hammer-Post_2.jpg 594w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Hammer-Beam-to-Hammer-Post_2-200x300.jpg 200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px" /> <img decoding="async" class="tve_image wp-image-49521 tve_evt_manager_listen tve_et_click" alt="Hammer Beam to Hammer Post Interactive 3D Model" data-id="49521" width="597" data-init-width="875" height="450" data-init-height="659" title="" loading="lazy" src="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Hammer-Beam-to-Hammer-Post-Interactive-3D-Model.jpg" data-link-wrap="true" data-width="597" data-height="450" data-tcb-events="__TCB_EVENT_[{"config":{"l_anim":"instant","l_id":"49520"},"a":"thrive_lightbox","t":"click"}]_TNEVE_BCT__" style="aspect-ratio: auto 875 / 659;" srcset="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Hammer-Beam-to-Hammer-Post-Interactive-3D-Model.jpg 875w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Hammer-Beam-to-Hammer-Post-Interactive-3D-Model-600x452.jpg 600w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Hammer-Beam-to-Hammer-Post-Interactive-3D-Model-300x226.jpg 300w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Hammer-Beam-to-Hammer-Post-Interactive-3D-Model-768x578.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 597px) 100vw, 597px" /> The post Hammer Beam to Hammer Post appeared first on Timber Frame HQ.
The king post truss is one of the most common truss forms used in timber framing. Some, but not all king post trusses utilize struts (diagonal beams coming from the bottom chord). The post King Post Top Joinery appeared first on Timber Frame HQ.

Some, but not all king post trusses utilize struts (diagonal beams coming from the bottom chord). In this detail we take a close look at king post top joinery- and one way to treat the junction of king post, top chord and ridge, which would occur whether or not struts are incorporated. In order to securely join the top chords (the upper diagonal part of the truss) to the king post (the vertical beam), there is a bit of shaping to all the members. The top chords are cut in a fashion similar to a birds mouth of a rafter sitting on a plate. The diagonal edges of the chords set into matching recesses cut into the king post. To connect the king post to the horizontal ridge, a full-depth tenon is cut into the post, and it nestles into a matching mortise cut into the ridge beam. The top chords are further secured to the king post with structural screws, and the king post and ridge are bonded with hardwood pegs to create a strong and attractive king post truss. <img decoding="async" class="tve_image wp-image-48753 tve_evt_manager_listen tve_et_click tcb-moved-image" alt="" data-id="48753" width="597" data-init-width="762" height="647" data-init-height="826" title="16x24 King Post Plan Interactive 3d Model_2 (1)" loading="lazy" src="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/16x24-King-Post-Plan-Interactive-3d-Model_2-1.jpg" data-link-wrap="true" data-width="597" data-height="647" data-tcb-events="__TCB_EVENT_[{"t":"click","a":"thrive_zoom","config":{"id":"48753","size":"full"}}]_TNEVE_BCT__" style="" data-css="tve-u-180f2d57c9b" srcset="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/16x24-King-Post-Plan-Interactive-3d-Model_2-1.jpg 762w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/16x24-King-Post-Plan-Interactive-3d-Model_2-1-600x650.jpg 600w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/16x24-King-Post-Plan-Interactive-3d-Model_2-1-277x300.jpg 277w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 597px) 100vw, 597px" /> <img decoding="async" class="tve_image wp-image-48754 tve_evt_manager_listen tve_et_click" alt="" data-id="48754" width="597" data-init-width="937" height="635" data-init-height="997" title="16x24 King Post Plan Interactive 3d Model_3" loading="lazy" src="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/16x24-King-Post-Plan-Interactive-3d-Model_3.jpg" data-link-wrap="true" data-width="597" data-height="635" data-tcb-events="__TCB_EVENT_[{"t":"click","a":"thrive_zoom","config":{"id":"48754","size":"full"}}]_TNEVE_BCT__" srcset="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/16x24-King-Post-Plan-Interactive-3d-Model_3.jpg 937w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/16x24-King-Post-Plan-Interactive-3d-Model_3-600x638.jpg 600w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/16x24-King-Post-Plan-Interactive-3d-Model_3-282x300.jpg 282w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/16x24-King-Post-Plan-Interactive-3d-Model_3-768x817.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 597px) 100vw, 597px" /> <img decoding="async" class="tve_image wp-image-48761 tve_evt_manager_listen tve_et_click" alt="Screenshot of King Post Top Joinery Sketchfab" data-id="48761" width="570" data-init-width="633" height="469" data-init-height="521" title="Screenshot of King Post Top Joinery Sketchfab" loading="lazy" src="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/King-Post-Top-Joinery.jpg" data-link-wrap="true" data-width="570" data-height="469" data-tcb-events="__TCB_EVENT_[{"config":{"l_anim":"instant","l_id":48760},"a":"thrive_lightbox","t":"click"}]_TNEVE_BCT__" srcset="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/King-Post-Top-Joinery.jpg 633w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/King-Post-Top-Joinery-600x494.jpg 600w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/King-Post-Top-Joinery-300x247.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px" /> The post King Post Top Joinery appeared first on Timber Frame HQ.
When you have two beams connecting into one post at the same height, you need to get creative in cutting the joints. The goal here is to make a secure connection without taking too much meat and strength out of the post. In this detail we show you how to accomplish that with an Offset Mortise and Tenon.

The goal here is to make a secure connection without taking too much meat and strength out of the post. In this detail we show you how to accomplish that with an Offset Mortise and Tenon. We have shown you in the past how to secure two beams to a post with Spline Joinery, where a piece of hardwood is inserted into the post and into grooves cut into the beams. And that is one solution. With an offset mortise and tenon as is shown here, the post has two mortises cut into it. Each one is set towards the side of the post so that they bypass each other, and neither one goes all the way through the post. This leaves plenty of "meat" in the remaining post. The beams have tenons that are offset to the same dimensions as the mortises, making for a nice snug connection when all is assembled and secured with hardwood pegs. Another cool thing about this joint is that it allows the use of one set of pegs to join two beams, occurring at the same elevation, into a post. <img decoding="async" class="tve_image wp-image-48302" alt="" data-id="48302" width="597" data-init-width="861" height="549" data-init-height="791" title="" loading="lazy" src="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Offset-Mortise-and-Tenon-Timber-Frame-Joint.jpg" data-link-wrap="true" data-width="597" data-height="549" srcset="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Offset-Mortise-and-Tenon-Timber-Frame-Joint.jpg 861w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Offset-Mortise-and-Tenon-Timber-Frame-Joint-600x551.jpg 600w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Offset-Mortise-and-Tenon-Timber-Frame-Joint-300x276.jpg 300w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Offset-Mortise-and-Tenon-Timber-Frame-Joint-768x706.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 597px) 100vw, 597px" /> <img decoding="async" class="tve_image wp-image-48301" alt="" data-id="48301" width="291" data-init-width="918" height="315" data-init-height="995" title="" loading="lazy" src="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Offset-Mortise-and-Tenon-Post-and-Beam-Joint.jpg" data-link-wrap="true" data-width="291" data-height="315" srcset="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Offset-Mortise-and-Tenon-Post-and-Beam-Joint.jpg 918w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Offset-Mortise-and-Tenon-Post-and-Beam-Joint-600x650.jpg 600w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Offset-Mortise-and-Tenon-Post-and-Beam-Joint-277x300.jpg 277w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Offset-Mortise-and-Tenon-Post-and-Beam-Joint-768x832.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 291px) 100vw, 291px" /> <img decoding="async" class="tve_image wp-image-48306 tve_evt_manager_listen tve_et_click" alt="Offset Mortise and Tenon Detail 3D Image" data-id="48306" width="570" data-init-width="636" height="428" data-init-height="478" title="Offset-mortise-and tenon-3D-image" loading="lazy" src="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Capture.jpg" data-link-wrap="1" data-width="570" data-height="428" data-tcb-events="__TCB_EVENT_[{"config":{"l_anim":"instant","l_id":"48305"},"a":"thrive_lightbox","t":"click"}]_TNEVE_BCT__" srcset="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Capture.jpg 636w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Capture-600x451.jpg 600w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Capture-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px" /> The post Offset Mortise and Tenon appeared first on Timber Frame HQ.
Stop-Splayed Scarf Joint with Sallied Abutments

The stop-splayed scarf joint with sallied abutments is a fun little twist on the standard stop-splayed scarf joint. In this case, the stops are sallied or angled. This gives the joint’s stop faces additional strength without having to resort to complex cutting, such as in bladed joints. As with other timber frame joints, this one is further secured, usually with hardwood pegs, structural screws, or bolted. Special thanks to Michael Cuba for helping with the historical naming of this scarf joint. <img decoding="async" width="960" height="905" src="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Stop-Splay-Scarf-Joint-with-Sallied-Abutments-3.jpg" alt="Stop-Splayed Scarf Joint with Sallied Abutments Solid" class="wp-image-31088" srcset="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Stop-Splay-Scarf-Joint-with-Sallied-Abutments-3.jpg 960w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Stop-Splay-Scarf-Joint-with-Sallied-Abutments-3-600x566.jpg 600w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Stop-Splay-Scarf-Joint-with-Sallied-Abutments-3-300x283.jpg 300w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Stop-Splay-Scarf-Joint-with-Sallied-Abutments-3-768x724.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /> <img decoding="async" width="960" height="905" src="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Stop-Splay-Scarf-Joint-with-Sallied-Abutments-4.jpg" alt="Stop-Splayed Scarf Joint with Sallied Abutments X-Ray" class="wp-image-31089" srcset="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Stop-Splay-Scarf-Joint-with-Sallied-Abutments-4.jpg 960w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Stop-Splay-Scarf-Joint-with-Sallied-Abutments-4-600x566.jpg 600w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Stop-Splay-Scarf-Joint-with-Sallied-Abutments-4-300x283.jpg 300w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Stop-Splay-Scarf-Joint-with-Sallied-Abutments-4-768x724.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /> <img decoding="async" width="960" height="967" data-id="31090" src="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Stop-Splay-Scarf-Joint-with-Sallied-Abutments-5.jpg" alt="Stop-Splayed Scarf Joint with Sallied Abutments Solid Exploded and Joined" class="wp-image-31090" srcset="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Stop-Splay-Scarf-Joint-with-Sallied-Abutments-5.jpg 960w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Stop-Splay-Scarf-Joint-with-Sallied-Abutments-5-100x100.jpg 100w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Stop-Splay-Scarf-Joint-with-Sallied-Abutments-5-600x604.jpg 600w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Stop-Splay-Scarf-Joint-with-Sallied-Abutments-5-298x300.jpg 298w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Stop-Splay-Scarf-Joint-with-Sallied-Abutments-5-150x150.jpg 150w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Stop-Splay-Scarf-Joint-with-Sallied-Abutments-5-768x774.jpg 768w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Stop-Splay-Scarf-Joint-with-Sallied-Abutments-5-300x302.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /> <img decoding="async" width="960" height="967" data-id="31091" src="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Stop-Splay-Scarf-Joint-with-Sallied-Abutments-6.jpg" alt="Stop-Splayed Scarf Joint with Sallied Abutments X-Ray Exploded and Joined" class="wp-image-31091" srcset="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Stop-Splay-Scarf-Joint-with-Sallied-Abutments-6.jpg 960w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Stop-Splay-Scarf-Joint-with-Sallied-Abutments-6-100x100.jpg 100w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Stop-Splay-Scarf-Joint-with-Sallied-Abutments-6-600x604.jpg 600w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Stop-Splay-Scarf-Joint-with-Sallied-Abutments-6-298x300.jpg 298w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Stop-Splay-Scarf-Joint-with-Sallied-Abutments-6-150x150.jpg 150w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Stop-Splay-Scarf-Joint-with-Sallied-Abutments-6-768x774.jpg 768w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Stop-Splay-Scarf-Joint-with-Sallied-Abutments-6-300x302.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /> The post Stop-Splayed Scarf Joint with Sallied Abutments appeared first on Timber Frame HQ.
This example illustrates a very common assembly in timber framing. That is when a post connects to a tie beam (a horizontal beam, perpendicular to the ridge, that resists the spreading force of the roof onto the walls) or a plate. The post Post-Top Detail appeared first on Timber Frame HQ.

That is when a post connects to a tie beam (a horizontal beam, perpendicular to the ridge, that resists the spreading force of the roof onto the walls) or a plate (the horizontal beam parallel with the ridge that ties the tops of the bents together). Cases such as this occur at the outside of the frame. The horizontal element ends at the outside of the post. As in every other case in traditional timber framing, a mortise and tenon joint unites the two timbers. The end of the post is reduced in section to form the tenon (sometimes called a tongue). This is inserted into the cavity in the face of the beam or plate. This cavity is called the mortise. Hardwood pegs are inserted into holes drilled into both the mortise and the tenon. These pegs hold the joint firmly in place. In this example, since the joint is very close to the end of the horizontal timber, there could be a tendency for the wood to split. So a structural screw is inserted to resist that splitting, and is concealed with a plug that looks very similar to the hardwood pegs. <img decoding="async" class="tve_image wp-image-44093" alt="" data-id="44093" width="453" height="562" title="Post Top Backcut 5" src="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Post-Top-Backcut-5-242x300.png" data-src="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Post-Top-Backcut-5.png" loading="lazy" data-sizes="{"thumbnail":{"height":150,"width":150,"url":"https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Post-Top-Backcut-5-150x150.png","orientation":"landscape"},"medium":{"height":300,"width":242,"url":"https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Post-Top-Backcut-5-242x300.png","orientation":"portrait"},"full":{"url":"https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Post-Top-Backcut-5.png","height":562,"width":453,"orientation":"portrait"}}" data-css="tve-u-1796ae814df" style="" srcset="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Post-Top-Backcut-5-242x300.png 242w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Post-Top-Backcut-5.png 453w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 453px) 100vw, 453px" /> <img decoding="async" class="tve_image wp-image-44092" alt="" data-id="44092" width="362" height="562" title="Post Top Backcut 4" src="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Post-Top-Backcut-4-193x300.png" data-src="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Post-Top-Backcut-4.png" loading="lazy" data-sizes="{"thumbnail":{"height":150,"width":150,"url":"https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Post-Top-Backcut-4-150x150.png","orientation":"landscape"},"medium":{"height":300,"width":193,"url":"https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Post-Top-Backcut-4-193x300.png","orientation":"portrait"},"full":{"url":"https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Post-Top-Backcut-4.png","height":562,"width":362,"orientation":"portrait"}}" data-css="tve-u-1796ae814e1" style="" srcset="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Post-Top-Backcut-4-193x300.png 193w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Post-Top-Backcut-4.png 362w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 362px) 100vw, 362px" /> <img decoding="async" class="tve_image wp-image-44091" alt="" data-id="44091" width="322" height="562" title="Post Top Backcut 3" src="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Post-Top-Backcut-3-172x300.png" data-src="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Post-Top-Backcut-3.png" loading="lazy" data-sizes="{"thumbnail":{"height":150,"width":150,"url":"https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Post-Top-Backcut-3-150x150.png","orientation":"landscape"},"medium":{"height":300,"width":172,"url":"https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Post-Top-Backcut-3-172x300.png","orientation":"portrait"},"full":{"url":"https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Post-Top-Backcut-3.png","height":562,"width":322,"orientation":"portrait"}}" data-css="tve-u-1796ae814e2" style="" srcset="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Post-Top-Backcut-3-172x300.png 172w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Post-Top-Backcut-3.png 322w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 322px) 100vw, 322px" /> <img decoding="async" class="tve_image wp-image-44090" alt="" data-id="44090" width="453" height="562" title="Post Top Backcut 2" src="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Post-Top-Backcut-2-242x300.png" data-src="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Post-Top-Backcut-2.png" loading="lazy" data-sizes="{"thumbnail":{"height":150,"width":150,"url":"https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Post-Top-Backcut-2-150x150.png","orientation":"landscape"},"medium":{"height":300,"width":242,"url":"https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Post-Top-Backcut-2-242x300.png","orientation":"portrait"},"full":{"url":"https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Post-Top-Backcut-2.png","height":562,"width":453,"orientation":"portrait"}}" data-css="tve-u-1796ae814e3" style="" srcset="https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Post-Top-Backcut-2-242x300.png 242w, https://timberframehq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Post-Top-Backcut-2.png 453w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 453px) 100vw, 453px" /> The post Post-Top Detail appeared first on Timber Frame HQ.
