By the end of April, the cypress logs will be cut, loaded and transported to a site on Sharp Rock, Road, where their transformation into a 26-foot high bam will be complete. Let’s make that 30 feet, when you add the copula.

With each beam weighing 500 lbs. or more, you’ll have a structure built to last for hundreds of years, and more.

That’s quality construction hard to beat. And the cost? Dareing admits that it isn’t inexpensive, he doesn’t consider it extravagant, either.

According to Dareing, the materials are not more expensive, and while they certainly can’t compete with a pre-fab deal, if you’re looking for high quality, longevity, durability and a heap of old fashioned craftsmanship, a timber frame construction may be the route to take.
