- Post and Long Beam Bracing // Sawmill Shed Build // Woodland Mills Sawmill // Homemade Lumber
In this video, Greg works on bracing by adding brackets to tho post and long beam and by making, prepping and attaching the braces for our Woodland Mills sawmill shed build. All of this will help support the long, 28 foot beam and our homemade lumber.
Thank you to Tim, from @modernmountainliving4353 for helping work on the braces. It was nice to have a helping hand!
Here are the specs on the sawmill cover / sawmill shed we are building:
3 posts in the front
4 posts in the back
Overall dimensions are 15 feet wide by 36 feet long
Longest beam is 28 feet
Front part of the lean to roof is 11'9" and back is 8'
It will have a 3 :12 pitch
Posts and beams are going to be 7 1/2" x 7 1/2"
We will be sharing the entire build. We hope you will follow along. Have you built a cover for a sawmill? Any tips?

For those of you who know Bo, he visits daddy in this video...for those of you who don't, Bo is our 2 year old little boy and he loves watching daddy work!
Teaching that little one early :) Love watching your progress!
Yes! And, thank you for watching!
Aww, love the cameo by Bo! 💜
He loves visiting the property!
Waiting on the cable support episode!!
It will be down the road a ways - going to get the roof on first!
It looks like you had a hefty bill from Simpson for structural screws and hardware. We were the same and we got to pay extra for hardware that fit full dimension lumber that we milled. It adds up quick: post and beam plates, hurricane ties for the rafters, post bases for the piers... We poured 4' piers that were 12" wide and set j-bolts in the concrete when we did the concrete. Do you wish you made it bigger yet? We sure do with ours, nice build !
Posts are 7 1/2 x 7 1/2 and not true 8 x 8 because of the hardware. The true cost of hardware will be on the barn build 42x60. Pretty sure I won’t regret the size of that! 😂 How big is your cover?
We started out with a 10'x20' alaskan slab and realized we undersized it. To gain space we added the piers alongside the pad and extended 10' past slab for some storage space, final dimension about 12' x 30'.
I wish I would have built ours bigger! We plan to expand our sawmill shed. But I am excited to see this barn build! I am looking forward to learning from you.
@@BissellMapleFarm In all transparency, I’m learning as I go. Hopefully, I do some things right that help others and you can learn from my mistakes.
Nice job. Good to see your son coming out to visit.
When you are mounting the corner braces, would it help to have a 2x or 3x with a 45° angle cut to receive the brace screwed onto the post in the correct spot ahead of time? It seems like that would give a pocket for the corner brace to sit in and make it easier to get in place.
The cable idea is a good one. I have also seen it done with a strip of steel (1/8" thick x 3" or 4" wide). You just need to have it fastened in a way that it will be pulling on the ends of the beam not on the posts. If you could have done it before putting the beam in place, you could have put the beam upside down on some supports and then put weight on the middle to cause it to bend down (up when it is turned over) and fastened the cables or strip of steel in place to have it prestressed.
Good luck with your project. Enjoying watching your progress.
Thank you! Yes, he loves to visit!
That's a good idea for screwing a 3x with a 45 cut in it for the brace to sit in while you're getting the brace up. Going to have to figure something out for the barn build because it will require a few of them...definitely will have people out to help with that!
I thought about putting a piece of steel on one or both sides - but having it prestressed is past its point at this time. Someone has has already given me an old cable that came out of an old sawmill. And, another guy has offered to make a bracket. At this point, I am going to get the roof on and tackle that down the road.
Nice to see some blue sky and sunshine! Was this filmed in February?
Yes, it was 2 weekends ago!
Hi
Nice job. Are those posts and beam 6 inches or 8 inches.
Thank you! They are 7 1/2”x7 1/2”
because that is what the bracket that attaches to the concrete pier was,
so I made the beams the same dimension. Thanks for watching! 😃
And yet another GREAT video !!!! What was the app you used on your cell phone? It looks like it might come in handy!!
Thank you so much! Here's the website it's from:

Hope it helps!
Awesome channel!! Where did you get the jig for cutting with your chainsaw
Thank you so much! The jig is from a company called CONNEXT Post and Beam. It's the Rotary Table / Chainsaw Combo from ctpostandbeam.com . Hope this helps!
Well... braces looks pretty, but in reality they are not holding post and beam against collapsing - screws are not strong enough. Look at the true timber framing braces - centuries proven design.
I agree - true timber braces are much stronger and time tested. Comes down to time for me. Mortise and tenon joinery is in my future, but not for the barn project. Thanks for your input and for watching! 😀
