Timbers for Post and Beam Construction

At Hochstetler Log Homes, we supply high-quality pine and Douglas fir timbers for post and beam buildings across the country. Whether you're a seasoned timber framer, a general contractor managing a build, or a property owner working with a design team, our mill provides the structural materials you need to bring your project to life.

Post and beam construction offers the best of both worlds: lasting strength and creative freedom. By using heavy timber posts and beams as the structural core, builders can eliminate many interior load-bearing walls, allowing for wide-open interiors and vaulted ceilings. It’s a construction method that celebrates the beauty of the frame itself—making the exposed structure a design feature, not something to hide.

We’re not timber framers ourselves. Instead, we focus on supplying the foundational materials that make your vision possible. Our in-house mill cuts timbers to order based on your specifications, providing a wide range of sizes, profiles, and finishes to suit your project. Whether you need rough-sawn timbers for a rustic aesthetic or smooth planed beams for a clean, modern look, we can deliver what you need.

Our pine and Douglas fir timbers are carefully sourced for quality, consistency, and structural integrity. Every order is milled with precision, and we work with engineer-approved specs to ensure your materials meet all relevant codes and load requirements. We also offer guidance and coordination for builders who need specific dimensions, grades, or cuts for complex designs.

Hochstetler timbers have been used in homes, barns, commercial spaces, pavilions, and event venues throughout the U.S. With decades of experience and a large on-site inventory, we’re equipped to support everything from small-scale builds to large, multi-phase projects.

If you’re planning a post and beam structure, let’s talk. We’ll help you source the right timbers—cut to your specs, delivered on schedule, and ready for your crew to get to work.
