24' x 28' 1-1/2 Story & Porch

This 24' x 28' timber frame provides a strong and adaptable foundation for a wide range of building applications. While it is commonly shown as a barn, the structure itself is designed to be flexible and can be finished as a residence, shop, or other custom building depending on your layout and design goals. The complete plan set includes everything needed to get started, including a foundation layout, floor plans, architectural elevations with door and window schedules, and a cross section detail. Staircase specifications, an electrical plan, and a roof plan are also included. In addition, you receive a full timber, fastener, and connector list, along with all wall, beam, and rafter layouts, fastening details, and individual beam drawings to support an efficient build process. The frame utilizes 8x8 posts, 8x12 plate beams, 8x8 and 8x12 band joists, 6x10 joists, 4x6 knee braces, 8x12 ridge plates, and a combination of 4x8, 6x10, and 8x10 rafters, forming a durable and well coordinated structural system. Whether you are starting with plans or moving forward with a CNC cut timber frame package, this design offers a flexible starting point to bring your project to life.
