8×12 Timber Frame Plan

SKU: 6731 Categories: , , , Tag:

Looking for a smaller project to start your timber framing journey? Take a look at this diminutive 8x12 timber frame king post plan! This plan has a 12/12 roof pitch, and it boasts roomy two foot overhangs. Do you have a small back yard? This 96 square foot frame will fit in just about anywhere.  Use it as a gardener’s shed or tool shed, or add a couple of windows and create a fun playhouse for the kids!  This frame has graceful, slightly curved knee braces, and is constructed with sturdy 8×8 posts.

Since there are only two bents in this design, there is not a whole lot of lumber to purchase and cut. That makes this a relatively inexpensive frame to create. It is also going to be easy to raise. Gather up your friends and family and let them help you - make raising day a party!

The drawings are formatted as an instant-download PDF. There are individual piece drawings, and a full timber list to make your lumber purchasing easier.  The renderings include x-ray vision drawings, so you can really get a feel for the joinery. The pages are sized at 8.5” x 11”, for easy printing from home.

Are your plans engineered?

The plans we offer on our website are not stamped by an engineer. People build our frames all over the country, and in each location, there are different requirements.  Timber species, design loads and values needed are just some of the factors engineers need to take into account in each case.  

We do offer engineering services as an add-on to our standard plans.
