48' x 72' Monitor Style

This 48' x 72' timber frame offers a solid foundation for a wide range of building types. While it is commonly shown as a monitor style barn, the structure itself is highly adaptable and can be finished as a residence, workshop, pavilion, or other custom space depending on your design goals. The complete plan set includes everything needed to get started, including a foundation layout, first floor plan, second floor plan, architectural elevations with door and window schedules, cross section details, roof plan, timber, fastener, and connector lists, as well as all wall, beam, and rafter layouts. Detailed fastening information and individual beam drawings are also provided to support an efficient build process. The frame utilizes a combination of 6x8, 8x8, 8x10, and 10x10 posts, along with 8x12 plate and tie beams, 6x8 knee braces, 8x12 ridge plates, 4x8 sill plate covers, 4x4 siding nailers, and 4x10 and 8x10 rafters. Each component is designed to work together as a durable and reliable structural system. Whether you are starting with plans or moving forward with a CNC cut timber frame package, this design provides the flexibility to bring your project to life in a way that fits your vision.
