If you want the look and strength of timber framing, without the cost and hassle, try a modified post and beam. Traditional timber framing requires very complex joinery, and both timber framing and post and beam use heavy members that one can't hoist alone. However, a modified post and beam can be built almost entirely out of cheap lightweight 2"x boards - and the joinery is simply cleats and fasteners. The boards wrap a skeleton of posts, and scrap-end blocking is used to create beams. | If you want the look and strength of timber framing, without the cost and hassle, try a modified post and beam.
