Available Option

Available Option

Our standard scissor truss features sloped bottom chords that form a V shape. This design not only makes them a unique structural element in one’s space, but provides the clearance and support needed for vaulted ceilings.

Available Option

Traditional Cedar Deck

Perfect for clients seeking a simple yet attractive deck for their structure, our standard cedar deck option provides the ideal setting for relaxation and entertainment. This traditional deck option is made with select tight knot Western red cedar decking, handrailing, and trim, as well as select grade Douglas fir columns and pressure-treated joists and beams. Our cedar decks are typically designed for your second story, but we can also create a first-floor deck to perfectly suit your needs.

Available Option

Cantilevered Deck

Similar to our traditional cedar deck option, our cantilevered deck upgrade is made of Western red cedar decking, handrailing, and trim to achieve its beautiful rustic appearance. However, the primary difference between these two options is that cantilevered decks do not require added structural support to uphold the weight of the deck. How this works is that in a traditional deck, the joists (or structural components that create the deck frame) extend out from the structure to a girder (horizontal support beam) that rests on the support posts. With a cantilevered deck, the girder and support posts are replaced by members that extend out from the structure.

Available Option

Heavy Timber Deck

Our heavy timber-framed deck is a step above our regular and cantilevered decks in terms of quality and curb appeal. Framed with FOHC Douglas fir lumber instead of dimensional pressure-treated lumber, our heavy timber deck upgrade is designed to provide unmatched durability and beauty for your outdoor living space. Similar to our traditional and cantilevered deck options, this upgrade is made with select tight knot Western red cedar decking, handrailing, and trim so you can enjoy the look of real cedar decking with the added support of Douglas fir structural components. Keep in mind that your heavy timber deck will need to be properly treated or flashed to protect against possible water damage.

Available Option

Waterproof Rooftop Deck

Our waterproof rooftop deck option is our newest deck offering. This option is perfect for clients wanting to maximize property views by adding a rooftop deck to their structure.

Arena Door

Knife Plates

Horse Friendly Knife Plates

Our horse-friendly knife plates are steel connection hardware pieces that are hot-dipped galvanized and powder coated for added protection. The difference between this option and our standard is our horse-friendly knife plates are bolted directly into the structural footing and feature an I-shaped design that raises the bottom of our posts to a pre-determined elevation. One benefit of this method is that it creates a sleek, polished appearance for your posts once your finished surfaces are complete. Instead of being raised on concrete pedestals, your posts will appear as though they’re sitting right above the finished pavement, creating a seamless look for your structure. Additionally, with our horse-friendly knife plates, you don’t have to worry about your horses tripping or injuring themselves on pesky concrete pedestals surrounding your posts. For added peace of mind and a better look for your exterior, our horse-friendly knife plates are well worth the investment.

Knife Plates

Standard Knife Plates

Our standard knife plates are powder-coated steel connection hardware pieces designed to fit seamlessly with our pre-cut heavy timber posts. These knife plates make it easy to anchor our posts to your foundation while keeping our exterior wood framing components off the ground and protected from damage associated with moisture, dirt, and other environmental irritants. How it works is your crew will install our knife plates on elevated concrete pedestals poured above your structural footing. After bolting down your knife plates, your crew can insert our posts directly into them, with all posts cut off-site to ensure a snug fit. Our standard knife plate offering is a practical option for clients located in areas susceptible to heavy rain and snow, considering its raised design creates a solid, weatherproof barrier between the ground and posts. This option is also ideal for clients who aren’t sure what their finished grade will be, as this method is more malleable to uneven or sloped lots.

Available Option

Standard Door Handle

Insulation Type

Insulating Concrete Forms

Insulating concrete forms are concrete walls sandwiched between two layers of polystyrene foam. This insulation material is known for its ease of installation, durability, and ability to prevent air leakage, making it a great insulation material for residential and commercial projects. The multi-layer design of IFCs and concrete fill provides an airtight barrier around the walls of a structure, offering exceptional insulation and comfort.

Insulation Type

Foam Insulation

Foam insulation consists of polystyrene, polyisocyanurate or polyurethane, which are types of plastic. This type of insulation is known to be ideal for attics, roofs, walls, and flooring, as its airtight qualities help prevent heat loss and keep energy costs at a minimum. We offer two types of foam insulation, including rigid foam and spray foam. With rigid foam insulation, rigid foam panels are typically applied to the interior and exterior walls, roof, and foundation. For roof insulation, we install Hunter polyiso insulation panels to provide superior protection for our custom structures. With spray foam insulation, any cracks, holes, or gaps in your structure can be coated with a simple spray foam to ensure maximum insulation.

Insulation Type

Cellulose Insulation

Cellulose is an insulation material made from recycled paper products that has a consistency similar to down feathers. Its shape and size allow it to fit in hard-to-reach and oddly shaped areas, including attics and areas with obstructions like ducts or wire. We offer two types of cellulose insulation for clients to choose from: loose-fill and blown-in. With loose-fill cellulose insulation, dry cellulose is blown into the walls or attic to fill cavities or cover existing insulation. With blown-in cellulose insulation, cellulose is blown onto open walls like spray foam to coat the exterior.

Insulation Type

Fiberglass Insulation

Fiberglass is a lightweight material commonly used as a thermal insulation solution for residential and commercial buildings. Known for its puffy texture, fiberglass is created when glass is heated until molten and then pushed through tiny holes, resulting in thin strands of thread that are bundled together to form the fibrous material. Its malleable qualities make fiberglass an excellent insulator that can be molded into various shapes, and one that offers superior strength and soundproofing qualities. It is regularly used in batts, rolls, and loose-fill insulation.

Available Option

Structural Insulated Panels

Otherwise known as SIPs, structural insulated panels are energy-efficient building solutions engineered to create an airtight weather barrier around your structure. Designed with an insulating foam core between two structural board layers, structural insulated panels allow us to better air seal our buildings and meet high performance building codes. Clients can choose from two types of foam for their board insulation: polyurethane or expanded polystyrene (EPS). Polyurethane is generally more expensive than EPS because it boasts a higher R-value—or thermal resistance—per inch and is more resistant to moisture and fire. However, EPS insulated panels are an excellent cost-effective option for clients living in climates where R-value is less of a concern.

Foundation Type

Crawl Space

Crawl space foundations are the standard for most conventional homes in warmer climates. This elevated foundation type is made of short concrete walls that are typically four feet tall and rest on concrete footers. In comparison to stem wall foundations, crawl space foundations may seem extremely similar, as both utilize concrete walls to form the perimeter support system and piers for structural support. However, the primary difference is that the top layer of a crawl space foundation is created with wooden floor joists while a stem wall ceiling is made of a concrete slab.

Foundation Type

Daylight Basement

Like a full basement foundation, a daylight basement foundation is traditionally dug eight feet deep or more into the ground and anchored by footings placed below the frost line. The main difference between these two foundation types though is that daylight basement foundations have one or more walls that open to the outside and are often designed with windows or doors that allow natural light to pour through the space. Commonly referred to as “walk-out basements,” this foundation type is perfect for clients planning to build their structure on a hillside or sloped lot, as one or more walls can be built into the hillside while walls on the descending slope offer stunning property views.

Foundation Type

Full Basement

A full basement foundation is ideal for clients living in climates susceptible to extreme weather storms like blizzards and tornadoes. This type of foundation is typically dug eight feet deep or more into the ground and built with concrete structural walls that rest on footings installed below the frost line. This construction method not only ensures your foundation is protected from cracking or buckling during ground freeze but also keeps your structure rooted firmly to the ground. As a result, you can enjoy a foundation that preserves its strength and stability over time—all while providing you and your family with a haven in unfavorable conditions.

Foundation Type

Stem Wall

If a monolithic slab foundation isn’t feasible or recommended for your property, stem wall foundations are a great alternative for your build. Unlike monolithic slab foundations where the concrete is poured all at once, stem wall foundations are created by pouring concrete in segments. This process starts by pouring a concrete footer at the ground level then stacking cement blocks to form a perimeter wall that rises to the finished slab elevation. Once the wall is finished and piers are installed for structural support, the final concrete slab is poured to create the top layer. This foundation type is often used in areas susceptible to flooding because of its elevated height, as well as sites where a lot of fill dirt is required. Unlike a monolithic slab foundation where your electrical and plumbing is built into the concrete, a stem wall foundation allows easy access to plumbing and electrical hookups. This gives clients the ability to fix issues as they arise without having to jackhammer through their concrete.

Foundation Type

Monolithic Slab

The standard offering for our pre-engineered building kits, monolithic slab foundations—or slab-on-grade foundations—are some of the easiest and cheapest foundation types available. A monolithic slab foundation is created by pouring concrete all at once to form the base of a structure, with the concrete poured thicker on the outer areas to support the structural walls. This results in an extremely solid foundation that is easy to maintain and energy efficient. However, it’s important to note that there are limitations to where you can build a monolithic slab foundation, as this type of foundation is not allowed or recommended in areas susceptible to flooding and ground freezing. That said, monolithic slab foundations are a great option for clients planning to build on a subdivision or developed land in relatively mild climates like Oregon or Washington.

Available Option

Clear Span Construction

Clear span construction is becoming a more prevalent framing method in our ever-expanding offering. This construction style utilizes parallel chord trusses to create wide-open interiors free of obstructive posts or structural members, making it perfect for clients who desire a self-supporting building for their property. Our Stillwater Barn Home Kit and Union Event Barn Kit are two examples of pre-engineered building models designed in the method of clear span construction. However, clients can transform any kit in our collection into a clear span structure or modify our Stillwater or Union models to achieve their desired look and function.

Available Option

Post Frame Construction

Post-frame construction is an engineered wood-framing building method that utilizes large pressure-treated wood posts or laminated columns encased in concrete to create the structural frame of a building. Synonymous with pole barns, post-frame construction relies on the strength of its posts to support the upper floors and roof system. This construction method is often used for low-rise buildings like warehouses and agricultural facilities, as the posts in a post-frame building can handle greater loads than stud walls and are able to be spaced farther apart. When used in combination with clear-span truss construction, post-frame construction can create the ideal framework for a covered riding arena.

Available Option

Hybrid Framing

As mentioned above, clients have the option of using a combination of conventional framing and timber framing or post and beam construction for their projects. This building method is referred to as hybrid framing and is commonly used in 21^st century timber frame homes to create a more affordable timber frame solution for clients. If you’re looking to cut costs in less important areas of your structure such as storage closets and bathrooms, our hybrid framing option is a great alternative to traditional timber framing and post and beam construction.

Cross Laminated Timbers

Cross laminated timbers are multi-layer mass timber panels that provide superior insulation and protection. These panels consist of three to four layers of cross laminated board lumber that are glued together to create an airtight building solution. Comparable to steel and concrete in terms of durability, cross laminated timbers offer the strength of the former without being nearly as heavy or dense. This allows for a much easier and faster installation process. Considered to be the future of mass timber production, cross laminated timbers also boast a lower carbon footprint than concrete or steel and often utilize small-diameter trees to make harvesting more efficient.

Timber Framing

Timber framing is one of the oldest building methods still practiced today. Similar to post and beam construction, timber framing utilizes large heavy timbers to form the structural frame. However, the primary difference between these two building methods lies in the method used to secure the frame’s joinery, as post and beam homes employ metal fasteners and connectors while timber framing uses mortise and tenon and other types of traditional joints. Because of this, timber frame structures are generally more expensive to build than post and beam and conventionally framed buildings due to the precision and skill required to properly execute this style. That said, timber frame homes today are commonly designed with a combination of timber framing and conventional building methods to achieve the same look and feel as a traditional timber frame home at a much lower cost.

Available Option

Post & Beam Construction

Post and beam construction is a time-tested building method that utilizes large heavy timbers joined by metal fasteners and connectors to create an extraordinarily durable frame. The walls of a post and beam building are typically placed on the outside of the frame, resulting in beautiful interiors characterized by their exposed structural timbers and high ceilings. Because of the strength of this building method, post and beam structures do not require load-bearing walls to support the upper floor and roof. This means clients can enjoy wide-open interiors throughout their structure and more creative freedom with their design.

Available Option

Conventional Framing

Conventional framing, or light-frame construction, is the most common building method for residential and light commercial buildings in the U.S.–namely because of its affordability, durability, and ease of construction. Conventional framing utilizes dimensional lumber or engineered wood that is regularly spaced and nailed together to create the structure’s enclosure. This results in a solid wall frame that is both cost-effective and structurally sound. Because conventional framing relies on load-bearing walls to support the upper floors and roof, this construction method can be somewhat limiting in terms of what you can do with your design. However, clients can use a combination of conventional framing and timber framing or post and beam building methods to create wide-open spaces in important areas of their structure while cutting costs in less trafficked rooms.

Available Option

Structural Insulated Panels

Otherwise known as SIPs, structural insulated panels are energy-efficient building solutions engineered to create an airtight weather barrier around your structure. Designed with an insulating foam core between two structural board layers, structural insulated panels allow us to better air seal our buildings and meet high performance building codes. Clients can choose from two types of foam for their board insulation: polyurethane or expanded polystyrene (EPS). Polyurethane is generally more expensive than EPS because it boasts a higher R-value—or thermal resistance—per inch and is more resistant to moisture and fire. However, EPS insulated panels are an excellent cost-effective option for clients living in climates where R-value is less of a concern.

Pre-Staining

DC Structures offers an exclusive pre-staining service to clients who select natural wood siding for their structures. Using our state-of-the-art pre-staining technology, our team will evenly coat all six sides of your lumber to ensure all-over protection and coating for your siding products. We recommend utilizing this service over having your raw siding products stained on-site, considering only the outer or exposed edges of your siding are coated during the on-site staining process, making it so that any thermocycling after installation would expose raw, unfinished strips on your wall. By machine pre-finishing your lumber, we can ensure complete penetration for your siding materials instead of protection solely on the exposed edges.
