As a busy and successful timber-framed building company, we’re always working on several exciting – and often prestigious – projects.
This job draws on several areas of our expertise with some of the frame requiring careful conservation, others sensitive restoration and two bays complete replacement.
This barn in Oxfordshire is largely stone built but the substantial elm roof had suffered from damp and rot in a number of key locations to the extent that one of the roof trusses had completely collapsed.
There are two key considerations that make a structure like this more complex than a conventional timber frame. The roof has four different ridge heights intersecting with each other in close proximity and the frame has numerous different interfaces with the rest of the building.
This frame is being manufactured in our Wiltshire timber framing yard during December 2006 and will go to site in the middle of January 2007.
The timber frame consists of eleven arched brace trusses and associated roof and wall framing. The building will provide outstanding new facilities for musical education and choir practice.
Most of the transverse cross frames have an unsupported span of over 18m and the whole frame is built from over 25 tonnes of green Douglas fir.
