Feature Trusses
Handmade oak and Douglas fir trusses, featuring mortise and tenon joints secured with oak pegs, enhance both structural integrity and visual appeal. Ideal for barns, extensions, or open-plan interiors, these trusses are custom-designed to meet specific architectural requirements. Each piece is sanded and finished with tung oil for a warm, natural aesthetic.

Available in single or two-bay designs with customizable cladding, roofing, and foundation options. Structures are built to blend seamlessly with existing properties while ensuring longevity.
