Roof trusses
Purlin and collar beam roof trusses tailored to the house. Surveying, production, assembly and formwork — from basic framing to visible exposed roof truss.
Carpentry from the Highlands · since 2009
Honest wood,
solid joints.
Roof trusses, timber structures, pergolas and gazebos. We cut, hew and join so that it lasts longer than us — without unnecessary frills, but properly.

We are a small family workshop from Nové Město na Moravě. We work with wood from roof trusses to gazebos and for every order we are there from measurement to the last nail.
We don't promise impossible deadlines and we don't count things you won't need. We prefer to come, take a look, and tell you straight what makes sense. We carve joints traditionally — tenon, mortise, lap joint — and where appropriate, we combine them with modern hardware. We source wood from sawmills we know and dry it before we work with it.

What we build
From roof truss
po garden gazebo.
02
Timber buildings
Frame and timber structures, attics, extensions and cottages. Diffusion-open compositions that breathe and retain heat.
03
Pergolas
Attached and freestanding pergolas made of larch and oak. Covered terraces that survive every winter and summer shower.
04
Gazebos
Garden gazebos, shelters and seating areas. From a simple grill canopy to a hexagonal gazebo with a solid roof truss.
Material & craftsmanship
Wood and joints,
on which it stands.
Exposed roof truss · timbered header, mortise and tenon joint
Spruce
Roof truss base. Light, strong, easy to work with.
Larch
For exteriors. Naturally resistant, ages beautifully to silver.
Dub
Where the joint must be seen and hold forever.
We don't hide the joint behind metal. A hewn joint is the most beautiful part of the entire structure — and also what holds it together when the wood moves over time.
Tenon and mortise
Classic carpentry. The tenon fits into the mortise and is secured with a peg — without screws, without glue. It holds for centuries.
Lap joint
Two beams are mutually notched and overlapped. A firm connection in the plane — the basis of the truss and wall plate.
Dovetail joint
Extended tenon in the shape of a dovetail. It pulls the joint together and holds it tight — for cleats and headers.
Projects

and from the roof.
