This 20' x 16' King Post Frame builds upon the classic king post system by incorporating an internal truss within the rafter assembly, improving load distribution and overall rigidity while maintaining an open interior feel. The addition of curved knee braces introduces a softer, more refined architectural element that contrasts beautifully with the strong linear geometry of the frame. The result is a structure that feels both traditional and elevated, with a level of detail that enhances its presence in any setting. The curved bracing adds visual movement and craftsmanship appeal, while the truss system improves performance for roof loading and long term stability. This balance of function and form makes the frame especially well suited for clients seeking a more decorative yet structurally robust timber frame. As with all Team Timber frames, this package is available as a CNC cut timber frame kit with engineered stamped plans. Additional wood species and custom sizing options are also available to fit a wide range of project needs.
