18' x 24' 1-1/2 Story

This 18' x 24' timber frame provides a strong and efficient structural foundation for a range of building applications. While it is commonly shown as a barn, the frame itself is designed to be flexible and can be finished as a cabin, workshop, or other small building depending on your layout and design goals. The complete plan set includes everything needed to get started, including a foundation layout, first and second floor plans, architectural elevations with door and window schedules, and a cross section detail. Staircase specifications are also included, along with a full timber, fastener, and connector list. Detailed wall, beam, and rafter layouts, fastening details, and individual beam drawings are provided to support an organized and efficient build process. The frame utilizes 8x8 posts, 8x12 plate beams and girders, 6x8 joists, 4x6 knee braces, 8x12 ridge plates, and a combination of 4x8 and 4x10 rafters, forming a durable and well balanced 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.
