Great job on the timber frame but I certainly have my doubts on those cubes of concrete the frame is sitting on. Just what kind of foundation is under them?
Always worries me stub tennons on the head beams. If that 25mm stub tennon rots and it comes down on someone ouch!!.Yes we have the braces there to hold it but I'm talking in 30/40 years time. I prefer to half lap the corners even if it looks a little untidy. There's nothing wrong with this construction method, it's just my own view on it.
Not sure what your on about. The corner, where the cross frame or bent meets the wall is landing on top of the wall plate with what looks like a cog type of connection, which has got a post directly underneath and bracing too. That could stand like that for a hundred years. There's oak frames with similar design in Europe that have stood for many hundred years.
I'm not so sure how secure that would be in a windstorm. We had a pavilion put in out back yard 26x26 and the cedar post were about 2-3 feet in the ground with concrete poured around them.
Hi Conner. Could I possible have permission to use a small this footage? I'm making a marketing video for our company. I understand this is a bit cheeky but the online stock resources are a little hard to acquire. We have lots of pictures but no actual video. Thanks
