Elton on site, excited to share this one 🏔️
We’re up in Port Moody putting in a timber frame roof system, and we just finished loading up the big beams: 22-footers, 6x14” solid Douglas fir. Heavy, beautiful stuff.
Right now we’re finishing up the two king post trusses, hand-cut and built right on site by our master carpenter Andreas Cokel. They’ve been craned into place and we’re getting ready to fasten everything together before moving on to the rafters.
If you look closely at the ridge beam, you’ll see the pockets we cut to inset the rafters — that locks them in place and helps prevent twist and warping over time. Since this structure will stay exposed, that kind of detail is what keeps it looking as good in 10 years as it does today.
Amazing project, and proud to bring it to life with Kerr Design Build. Dreaming up a timber frame project of your own? DM us — we’d love to talk through it 📩
