Timber framers, log builders, woodworkers, DIY builders and small contractors designing sheds, pergolas, cabins and timber barns
About BentStudio
BentStudio is a browser-based design studio for timber and log buildings, from garden sheds and pergolas to cabins, larger sheds and timber barns.
- Design the structure: start from a timber-frame, post-and-beam or dovetail log-wall layout. Set dimensions, bays, roof form, trusses, dormers and lean-tos; the model updates as you go.
- Inspect the work: move between 3D, plans and elevations. Look closely at corners, notches, braces and individual members.
- Take it to the shop: save a revision and export a PDF drawing package with timber sheets, cut coordinates and an editable project file.
Runs in a desktop browser, with an offline HTML download included. Pricing: one Studio licence is CAD $199, paid once. No subscription.
BentStudio is a design and layout tool, not a structural engineering service.

Framing
Framing, the design tool for timber frame and floor construction, is a modular solution to fit the needs and requirements of today’s offsite construction market. Utilized extensively by timber frame manufacturers, structural engineers and design practices, the Framing software is used for the detailing of timber frame buildings in 3D, producing comprehensive material schedules, and manufacturing drawings for manual production along with direct links to industry automated machinery and saws. Framing is used for the detailing of various different types of timber frame buildings. Whilst working in primarily a 2D environment, a 3D model is created based on the user’s input, thereby allowing easy checking of levels and heights within the application.
