I hope everyone had a great holiday. This weekend was a great opportunity to deeply thank those that have served and given their lives for our country.


This economic slowdown has posed challenges for just about everyone, and we have not gone unscathed as projects are put on hold or halted from lack of funding. We have taken this time to branch out as a company in developing new sources of revenue and marketing. Instead of panicking in these tough times we have pushed forward with creativity and ingenuity as a company.


For example, we have just designed a timber frame windmill tower that we are extremely proud of. Built out of beautiful eastern red cedar (the same wood cedar chests and closets are made of) our towers are easily manufactured using our Hundegger K-1 machine and easily assembled as a kit. We have teamed with Sand Creek Post & Beam, a company with whom we have a close relationship, in marketing and developing these elite and functional windmills for acreage owners across the country.




We have also pushed into pavilion and pergola design and fabrication. In teaming with retailers in the south Texas area we have established an affordable option for high-quality timber frame structures that are very affordable. We also have been working on many custom projects for customers who have come to us with great designs for their backyard projects.



We have been given the opportunity during this slowdown to strengthen and broaden our scope in our operation. I would be interested to know how others have done the same--optimism and determination are contagious!

Welcome to Texas Timber Frames

This is the first in a series of blogs that Texas Timber Frames will be posting. We will post entries that help educate about this ancient and gorgeous form of construction as well as inform you of upcoming events and news about Texas Timber Frames.
Texas Timber Frames was founded in 1987 by a college football coach that fell in love with big wood construction. Finding that there was a great market in Texas for an alternative and environmentally friendly form of construction, the company has grown to have constructed hundreds of homes and commercial projects for the discerning consumer throughout the United States.
The company has recently been purchased by a group of progressive owners who are passionate about the business and excited to work with the fine craftsmen that have been retained for their skill and experience. We look to help Texas Timber Frames grow and continue to be among the elite home builders in the country.
