Stavebarn at Midhurst, Ontario, Canada
Construction Details - Picture Library
This implement shed, office and work shop, framed with recycled 12" x 12" Douglas fir boom timbers, was designed to take full advantage of the Stavebolt connector and the Stavehouse design concept. Project economics and engineering rendered the use of mortise and tenon and knee-bracing out of the question. The use of the Stavebolt in conjunction with wall in-fill panelling, resulted in superior bracing and permitting the exposure of the posts (staves) on both the inside and outside.
