Customer Reviews
course text book
This book was used as the course textbook on a timber framing course I did in the UK. It covered all we needed to know. The only shortcoming being a lack of metric stress loadings which are required for UK and european building regulations, however conversion doesnt take long.
Outstanding guidebook for building your own timberframe home
My wife and I built a hybrid timber frame home using this book as a guide. Although we have construction skills, this book was invaluable in guiding us through the process. We can't wait to build another. We highly recommend this book to anyone considering a timber frame house.
