Function

A horizontal beam runs between two uprights and ties a frame together, working alongside the matching Pillar (Timber) that carries the load vertically. At only 2 Wood it is one of the cheapest framing parts, so it is well suited to the early base set, and its 1,500 max health makes it durable enough to anchor a structure. Where a wider gap needs spanning, the Large Beam (Timber) covers a longer run.
