Welcome to Maine Mountain Post & Beam
Maine Mountain Post & Beam is a timber frame company located in Fryeburg, Maine. For over 25 years we have specialized in the dismantle, restoration, and re-assembly of antique timber frame buildings for both homes and barns.
We also design, cut & erect new timber frames using traditional joinery, methods, and techniques (pegged mortise & tenon joinery, no metal fasteners).
Featured Frame
Gorham, Maine Barn »
This 42’ x 60’ Gable Entry Barn Frame cut from Pine, Hemlock and Oak.
Tie beams are full 42’ timbers and the frame incorporates the English Tying Joint. Frame design and joinery are historically correct.
Current Project
Current project: Connected Farmhouse, NH »
This project incorporated three timber frames. One is a new 32’x36’ barn frame. One is a re-assembled antique cape. And one is a new 16’x24’ frame cut from antique timber. We basically recreated a connected farmstead.
With full tie and plates, the barn frame incorporates the English Tying Joint. The 16’x24’ frame is salvaged timber tied with a wedged dovetail. The circa 1789 cape is 28’x38’. Much of the timber in the cape is Chestnut.
