Have You Ever Built A “Round” Timber Frame Structure?

Asked by Dave on December 16, 2015

I have a silo foundation that has approximately a 22′ inside diameter and approximately a 26′ outside diameter which results in a 2′ circular foundation.  I would like to build a 10-sided (round) timber frame “silo house”.

Do you sell plans?  If so, have you ever built a “round” timber frame structure?

Dear Dave,

We don’t sell stock plans. Normally we design the projects we fabricate. But, your project sounds like great fun. We would love to give you a quote on doing the design and supplying the timber frame.

We have built many octagons, a decagon is just a couple of more sides. Here are a few octagons that are on our web page:
