Welcome to the Pennsylvania Sawmill Company
Affordable and Stunning Box Beams, Timberframe Trusses, and Post and Beams Delivered to your Door!
For applications that may not be able to support the weight of true wood beams, consider our three-sided box beams. These are constructed to resemble true beams but are easier to install. These are the perfect solution to conceal steel beams or posts, unsightly plumbing/ wiring, or just to add a rustic accent to your existing ceilings.
Whether you need materials for rough construction or need some signature pieces to give your project a “Wow!” factor, our mills can provide what you need. We custom cut eastern white pine and douglas fir posts and beams to your exact specification and can further process them so you get them in just the form that you require.
Our design services can help tailor an idea to your specific needs and property. Once your design is finalized, we can shop-fabricate your project, pre-assembled to a level that works for your needs, and deliver to your project site for installation. If you’re a design professional and have a set of shop drawings, we can also work with you to ensure your project is fabricated and delivered on time.
We can cut your timbers and assemble custom crafted trusses to be shipped directly to your project site.

Scenes from the Sawmill
Most of the time we sketch out ideas by hand and draft them in AutoCad, but this week we added Sketchup modeling into our software mix to better illustrate some of our structures when we need it.
It was SOOO helpful when modeling a set of upcoming custom steel plate files (to be sure they all fit together correctly)!
Special thanks to a few of our professional friends for sharing their workflow tips for using it to illustrate and build from!
Here are a few of the things it's made easy to illustrate this week - hope you all have a great Friday and weekend ahead!

Hey there Sawmill Friends, quick note to share that we are now offering 2x6 CABIN GRADE T&G for $1.75 per LF. It will include blueing in the grain and the typical "scratch and dent" condition of CABIN GRADE T&G, but is perfectly suitable for roof decking or other utility uses. Typically a few weeks lead time, and available only Unfinished and in random lengths of 8-16'. Feel free to reach out at 814-380-0692 or info@paSawmill.com for more information or for a quote, and have a great day! #pine #tongueandgroove #ceiling #roofing #buildingmaterials #madetoorder
Swag alert!
Hey sawmill friends, we are giving away three of our fancy new travel mugs to a few lucky winners!
Simply like this post to be entered and we’ll randomly draw names after the three day weekend. If you share the post, we’ll enter your name twice.
(And special thanks to our awesome hand model Scott for showing off his this fine Friday morning!)
A few more recent #structural and decorative #truss pics from our shop floor. These pics were taken just before our steel gusset plates were installed as we awaited them from our powder coated. Wishing you all a great long weekend!
When shorter box beams are preferred for an installation, we offer a 2" wide concealment strap to cover the seams. So here's our fun and weird math equations for the day:
2 box beams + 3 straps = 4 equal sections, OR...
3 box beams + 2 straps = 3 equal sections!
Which is better for your design, thirds or quarters?
(This new math is so strange!)

Thank you to our good friend @itsedball for sharing this during-install pic of our hemlock pergola kit for his latest garden transformation! #gardendesign #landscapearchitecture #landscapearchitect #designbuild #backyard #makeover #outdoorliving #sittingspace #pergola #favorite #customers #hemlock #heavytimber
Even more trusses! This set of both #structural and #decorative #pine #trusses ships out tomorrow as part one of a larger project! #interiordesign #timber #love
Our shop team has been hard at work making many beautiful ”triangles of wood to hold the roof up” over the past few weeks! (Aka “trusses”, but we figure you know that already.)
We have been blessed with a very skilled shop crew skilled in making making trusses AND pergolas AND box beams in the past few weeks—will share more soon! #happyfriday #truss #timber #heavytimber #pine #hemlock #douglasfir #beautiful #woodshop #triangles
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again. A woodworker cannot own too many clamps.
Especially when making box beams, when you don’t want to see the seam!

Our latest set of interior, non-load bearing trusses were installed in the capable hands of our friends at State College Design and Construction this week! This project was a set of four curved lower-chord trusses with side beams pocketed out to support the trusses. All the weight is held by the conventional trusses above, but once the ceiling is installed these trusses will get all the credit for holding up the roof! #interiordesign #decorative #timber #truss #treehouse #greatroom #newconstruction #postandbeam #rothoblaas #whitepine #pine #truss #designbuild
Special thanks to our friends @browndesigngroupla for sharing their installed pavilion pics! This one was a post and beam base with pre-finished T&G ceiling, and the Brown Design Group team added conventional roof trusses, amazing lighting, and a garden setting that makes us want to start the weekend NOW!! #backyardoasis #postandbeam #patiocover #designbuild #amazingcustomer #rothoblaas
Updated in-progress pics of a customer’s post and beam kit install wrapped up in time for the weekend! Hemlock + steel plates = backyard getaway!
