Yankee Rafter Series

Hand-Cut Tradition from Early American Roots

The Yankee Rafter Series revives the classic common rafter roof systems that powered much of colonial New England and early Pennsylvania framing. Brought by Connecticut Yankee settlers and woven into our local history, these frames feature continuous rafters from wall plate to ridge—clean, exposed, and raised timber-by-timber for authentic strength and beauty.

Hand-cut with traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery, these robust timber frame kits are built for those who value pure craftsmanship: premium species options, detailed shop drawings, and designs that highlight the natural flow of common rafters. Ideal for barn additions, outbuildings, workshops, or larger structures where the classic roofline and hand-hewn details take center stage.

We supply the complete frame package—timbers, fasteners (wood-to-wood), and drawings—so you or your builder can raise it with confidence. (Additional services like crane or installation may be available through partners, but contact us to discuss.)

Explore models:

• 20x30 Timber Frame Addition/Barn – Spacious gable-roofed classic with open bays and loft potential (based on traditional sketches).
