Publication Year

2013

Document Status

Abstract

Outlines the materials normally specified for typical timber frame building, although some variation will occur according to the structural design and detailing requirements of specific projects. Many components, such as cladding materials and joinery, are not specific to timber frame and are therefore not covered in detail here.

Document History

Superseded by the 2016 edition. June 2013. First published 1998; updated 2003 and 2006.
