An Airy Porte-Cochere

The clients asked for a carport, but we deemed it a porte-cochere and they love it! John and Chris had envisioned a heavy timbered structure to attach to their historical home located in the Homesteads in Cumberland County. Chris looks forward to driving in and appreciating the king post truss design each day. This 20’ x 22’ three bent open style timber frame is also very versatile. It would make a marvelous great room addition to any style home or a cozy outdoor shelter with a fireplace at the end.

The spline detail gives it a certain artful look that added to the overall appeal. Maybe you see another use for this charming timber frame. We’d love to hear about it!
