Post and Beam and Mortise and Tenon Barns in Altoona
Timber framing using a mortise and tenon joint – often called post and beam construction – is one of the oldest and strongest methods of wood joinery known to man. It has been used for thousands of years by woodworkers around the world to join large and small pieces of wood – and it can last for generations when properly cared for.
- The mortise is a cavity cut into a piece of timber to receive a tenon.
- The tenon is a projection on the end of a timber that is shaped to fit into a mortise.

Timber Frame Barns FAQS
We frequently use pine, fir, or hemlock in our timber frame barns in Pennsylvania. But we can build with just about any wood you like. The type of wood that’s best for your barn usually comes down to cost and what you’re willing to spend.
