Can Heavy Timber Trusses really FLY?

Well,
YES! They CAN!
With the help of a crane and a skilled crew, that is.

.Vermont Timber Works worked on these Heavy Timber Trusses for Spruce Camp, a Lodge in Stowe, VT, along with Engelberth Construction Co. to create this wonderfully designed building.

With its octagonal shape and Douglas Fir Timbers, steel connectors and a giant steel column in the middle, it really is quite a sight.

No..not a bird...not a plane...
Flying Timber Trusses?....YES!
