There is usually no visual evidence of how the timbers are connected using this method apart from some small 12mm dia timber plugs in some of the joints.
Timberworks has developed and will continue to develop hidden steel connection systems for clients who love the look of the exposed Post and Beam structure but would prefer to save money on the connection systems. This can be a cost-effective system depending on the timber sizes and applied loads. Timberworks pre-engineered designs use a hidden or exposed steel connection system.
