Steel Gusset Plates for Heavy Timber Construction

Steel plates give a timber frame a look reminiscent of old school factories and mill buildings. They also support a tremendous amount of structural load, allowing heavy timber to span great distances. IN the photo above, the steel was painted black and held to the timber with 3/4" and 1" bolts. All of our gusset plate connections are custom designed and engineered to fit the individual requirements of our projects.

Black steel plates look great with natural douglas fir timbers. These timbers are finished with a coat of polyurethane, which seals and protects the wood beautifully.
