Bring the antique look of aged timber and post and beam construction to your old or new barn with the fine craftsmen at Backyard TimberFrame Designs.
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.

As one of the few timber frame barn builders in Western Pennsylvania, we take great care in creating finely crafted rustic barns and buildings that will impress your guests and provide functional barn space year-round. Using timeless techniques, our post and beam barns bring the majesty of timber framing into daily life, where robust posts join soaring beams in cathedral-like grandeur.
Whether you’re building a barn for storage but you value the integrity of mortise and tenon joinery, or you’re turning your old barn into a venue for entertaining and hosting, we’ve built, added to, and provided accent pieces for a wide range of beautiful buildings.
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.
We build post and beam barns throughout the State College and Altoona area. We’re based in Bellefonte, PA and will travel within 1-2 hours of our workshop.
