Timber Frame construction dates back 2000 - 3000 years ago and has developed over the centuries. Timber Frame construction is a building system in which heavy timbers are mortised and tenoned or other-wise joined, then pegged together. The posts and beams, once joined, make up the self supporting structure of the building. Wood sheathing for walls and roof are then applied to the structure.

Timber Frame buildings are strong and durable. They can last for centuries.

Timber Frame buildings have a timeless beauty, displaying the wooden structure as the building component and the interior finish.

Here are some pictures of Timber Frame buildings taken at Upper Canada Village.
