Midhurst Stavebarn Project
- Stavebarn at Midhurst: This implement shed, office and work shop, framed with recycled 12" x 12" Douglas Fir boom timbers, was designed to take full advantage of the Stavebolt connector and the Stavehouse design concept. Project economics and engineering rendered the use of mortise and tenon and knee-bracing out of the question. The use of the Stavebolt in conjunction with wall in-fill panelling, resulted in superior bracing and permitted the exposure of the wall posts (the staves) on both the inside and outside.

Collingwood Stavehouse Project
- Stavehouse at Collingwood: This post and beam with cantilevered balcony and large roof overhangs, exposed to high winds on a Georgian Bay hillside, was the focus of some unusual engineering, largely resolved with the Stavebolt. The effective attachment to the concrete foundation was accomplished by extending the 3/4" anchor rods into the bottom of the posts. Stavebolts in the tops of the wall posts were utilized to provide a similar tie through the wall plates and into the glue-laminated roof trussing. SIP roofing was screwed to the trussing. The outboard knee bracing hides enclosed steel tension rods. Wall in-fill SIP's brace the structure, leaving the wall posts (staves) exposed both inside and out.

Muskoka Wharf Project
- Muskoka Wharf at Gravenhurst: This two story Stavehouse-Stavebolt project comprises a large restaurant and office building on the waterfront at Muskoka (Gravenhurst) with commercial space of 6000 sq feet. The lower main floor area will be for restaurant use, with the smaller section (under the open roof) to be used as an Ice Cream parlour. The rest of the enclosed 2nd floor is to be used as commercial space.
The set-up of the panellized timber frame was undertaken by the owner/builders, Golden Muskoka Developments, Inc. The timber components were shipped direct to the job-site from Structurlam Products of Penticton BC. The SIP's were sourced from Plasti-Fab Inc. Stavebolt hardware was supplied by Building with Logs, Limited.
