Heavy Timber Trusses

Heavy timber trusses enhance the architectural appearance of any home. Whether structural or decorative, timber trusses truly celebrate the beauty and warmth of wood like no other application. The artistic craftsmanship of heavy timber trusses become the focal point of any space. Like the old European homes we admire, timber frame construction endures for generations.

These wood gables and trusses are renowned for their longevity, craftsmanship, and unique artistic appearance. The use of heavy timber by designers and renovation experts is as much decorative as it is structural.

Based in Atlanta, WOOD & Co. specializes in custom-built heavy timber trusses. We fabricate our trusses according to your design, working comfortably from sketches and photos to help you design exactly what you envision in a hammer beam truss, king post truss, timber frame truss creation, or the use of timber frames. Curved members and decorative details are our specialty, so you will be satisfied with the finished product. For exotic wood species not available in large timbers, and where weight is a factor, we are experienced in fabricating box-built decorative trusses. The finished product looks like solid timbers.

Contact WOOD & Co. in Atlanta, GA, to create a part of the Old World in your home and make it a featured showpiece of a home. We can build it with timber!

Heavy Timber Truss – Antique

Custom Heavy Timber Trusses fabricated from reclaimed antique original patina hand-hewn (like this photo) and rough-sawn timbers.  Original surfaces are preserved during fabrication.  For curved members, surface is skinned and reapplied once curve is cut.

Fabrication

Our trusses are pre-fabricated in our shop to detailed design specifications. Even if components are to be separated for shipping, each joint is pre-assembled to ensure proper fit.  CAD drawings are produced for each project for client approval.  3D CAD drawings available, rendering the trusses in your space.

Design

Unique and complex designs  are welcomed.  Each component is defined in our CAD software for proper fit, and to ensure that the final product is exactly as envisioned. Arched chords and decorative details are routine for our fabricators. Hollow box-built in unique wood species are available, as with this Black Walnut breakfast room truss.

Custom

We are a fully custom fabricator.  We can work from your design or assist you to bring about the perfect style for your home.  We specialize in curved members and decorative details, including: pegs, chamfered edge, deco steel tie-rods, finials, corbels, and other special features to make your truss unique.

We employ the latest CAD design techniques ensuring that everything is correct. Each component is carefully specified for your approval.

No detail is overlooked, right down to the finals and wall corbels. Scroll-cut or carved, we can produce even these details in matching wood species.

No project is too large, or too small. We welcome both large and small projects. Our shop and craftsmen are experienced handling even the largest timbers.

From stump to finished product, when required we can have the largest timbers selected and cut to our specifications.

Your finished truss is packaged and delivered or shipped to you ready to install. For larger trusses, they may be separated for shipping to be reassembled onsite by the installers.

Our experienced crews make installation fast and easy. Available in the Southeast, and throughout the Country when required. Installation is carefully coordinated with your general contractor.

For steel jointed trusses, gussets are custom fabricated. Unfinished, primed, powder coated, galvanized, and zinc coating options are available.

Our shops are equipped with specialized machinery for precision fabrication. Space allows us to prefabricate even the largest trusses, making them ready to set in place on the job site.
