Build a Garage, Workshop, Pole Barn, House

Socket Systems manufactures the metal joinery system called Lumber Link. This 3-16″ steel “socket”, joins 6″x 6″ rough-cut timbers or wood members, to create a clear span building frame. The standard Lumber Link kit can create a clear span area up to 30 feet wide. Extensions of 15 feet on each side will make the building 60 feet wide. The 6″ x8″ Hercules fixture can build clear spans up to 60 ft. wide with certain requirements. We also supply steel rafters with pre-welded purlin clips in a variety of pitches. Custom fixtures for cathedral ceilings alternative pitches and more, are no problem. Frames are assembled on the ground and raised into place using the foot locking system. No cranes or lifting equipment is needed and vertical supports are NOT set into cement, to eventually rot. Double your space with a second floor using a steel or wooden I-beam. This versatile building system can be erected by contractors or the do-it-yourselfer. Complete building plans are available for sale on the website. Architectural engineering services are available for simple or detailed projects. Lumber Link has been used to build pole barns, garages, additions, porches, carports, businesses, airplane hangers, commercial barns, storage facilities and homes since 1983.

    Too much. I can have 2400 sf with a steelmaster bldg and self installed second floor for half that. Plus, it will have higher snow load and wind load.

    Good luck with your product…

  4. Good question! Currently we do not. However if there is anyone seriously interested in doing this project, and can absorb some of the engineering cost we are more than capable of creating such a fixture. Geodesic domes are incredibly strong.

  5. Do you guys make metal bracket system for geodesic construction ? A sturdy hub design is needed in the industry and geodesic buildings seem to be the the popular way to go now days.
