Hennin Timber Frame Kits

Most of our Design Build clients choose a custom design for their home or structure, but there are many who want to purchase one of our pre-designed timber frame kits. We can ship these kits to you, if you'd like to raise it yourself, or we can deliver and raise it for you. We can also add individual design elements to these frames to suit your needs.

We employ traditional mortice and tenon joinery tusk tenons, wedged dovetails, scarf joints, pegged half-laps, and bird-mouth joints. Place two or more kits side by side, offset, or add a shed to any face of the structure to vary the roof line. We have created these four cost effective frames to get you started but we are happy to design a structure around your specific needs. Contact us for more details.

    After taking their Design & Build course, I had the confidence to build this timber frame house, from a version of their stock plans. And you will too.
