Timber Frame corner detail for NON 90 degree angle corners

[agebpt]

Hi there, wondered if anyone knew any details for joining timber frame walls in the corners, when the angle of that corner is in the region of 120 degrees and maybe 70 degrees - basically not 90.

I'm aware of the various options available with regards to california corners and cross overs - I'm trying to find some kind of Trada detail or something that shows a good setup to get a good nail fitting in to a corner. The walls are 6x2s, approx 2.5m high and currently using an Hitachi nailgun with 90 and 75mm nails. I'm wanting to avoid turning the 6x2's off straight 90 degree from the sole and header plates, as this would cause protrusion either on the external or internal facing wall - Did think about getting in some 4x2's instead on an angle for the end section, but didn't know how this would affect rigidity of the corner.

Thanks

Make the panels first with set- back corner posts, overhang the sheathing to allow for a plant-on timber afterwards.

It will tend to be need some 25mm batten to fill the joint where the two panels meet.

The timbers can all be kept square.

Ok thats ideal thanks, I figured that would be the solution, rather than stripping up wood on angle to slot in, but good to hear someone else confirm that!
