What kind of wood does TREE TOP TIMBER FRAMES use for their frames?
The most common local woods are Douglas Fir, Spruce and Pine. Maple, Oak, Cherry or almost any available species of wood can be used. For timbers that will be exposed to the elements we can either use any wood with has been treated with our special timber preservative or Western Red Cedar. For the dowels we have used Oak, Hickory, Ash and Rock Maple. We also fabricate our own dowels complete with end embellishments (several options available). We have established relations with many timber suppliers and are now able to procure kiln dried and recycled timbers. We can help you make an educated choice for your project.
