Post and Beam opens up the possibilities...
and Shelter Institute offers some real advantages:
Our Engineers and CAD staff can create just about any style, shape and size structure
You can arrange windows and doors in flexible patterns because of the great on-center spacing of the timbers.
The pre-cut frame can be assembled and enclosed quickly on-site
The structure is easily superinsulated with stresskin panels
We deliver throughout New England and raise and enclose the frame with our own experienced timberframing crews.
Our radio-controlled cranes facilitate detailed construction on difficult house-sites.
We can install a long lasting metal roof in a variety of colors.
We can package a Post and Beam frame for you with all the components for a house and ship it to you to construct.We have shipped as far west as Colorado and as far south as the Caribbean island of Saba.
Large, open clear spans built of enormous timber trusses. One serves as an open barn dance hall and another as a quaker meeting house. A barn houses a 40 foot yacht.
Shelter Institute retail space illustrates many of the benefits of timber frame construction. A T-shaped 30'x72' and 30'x50' of douglas fir and pine. King-post trusses span the open classroom which enjoys radiant heat. Come for a visit, see for yourself.
