One of my favorite places to visit has always been the Vermont Teddy Bear Factory in Charlotte, Vt. Now that I work at Vermont Timber Works and know that the Heavy Timber Construction was done by our crew, I like it even better!
Notice the Heavy Timber King Post Trusses that span the shop, with Douglas Fir Timbers and steel gusset plate joinery.
Rustic Timber pole Columns make the exterior of the building extra special.
Here we notice that inside of the store are octagonal Timber Trusses with Steel Joinery. The project is so inviting that even the BEARS want to make themselves at home among the timbers.
Like the one the little bear is walking in this picture, there is a FINE LINE between Timber Framers and Expert Timber Framers....fortunately, we've been on the right side of that line for years!
Vermont Timber Works Trusses and a little cotton stuffing make this a magical place to visit. Hope to see you there.
