Timber Frame Porches Without the Timber Frame Price Tag


Build Show Live 2026 Registration
Jake Bruton walks through a custom home build west of Kansas City, breaking down how the crew fakes a structural timber frame look using stained Douglas fir timbers that stop at the air control layer rather than continuing through the roof assembly. He details the layered porch ceiling construction—advantec decking, rigid insulation, sleepers, and roof sheathing—built to keep radiant heat off screened porches. Bruton then dives into ChamClad, a UPVC tongue-and-groove ceiling product with a wood-look foil facer, explaining how strips of OSB backing let installers join boards seamlessly over each beam, hiding seams across a long run of porch and soffit.
