Do you have a smallish outdoor space that you want to adorn with a shade shelter? Take a look at this petite 10×10 King Post – Post and Beam Plan! This structure is small enough to fit in just about any backyard, and still accommodate your conversation grouping, outdoor dining or hot tub area. You can decide to leave the purlins exposed for an arbor effect, or add shingles or roofing of your choice for more shelter from sun and rain.
With smaller and lighter 6 inch posts, this design would be easy to cut and raise and it would make a great beginner project. Furthermore, with hidden metal connectors instead of traditional hand cut joinery, this allows you to get the look of timber frame without all the head scratching. Check out our connector kits to purchase your fasteners with one click!
What a nice place to relax! The 8 in 12 roof pitch creates a nice ceiling height, and the generous two-foot overhangs give extra protection from the elements. You could enjoy this structure open-sided, or enclose it with the material of your choice to create a she-shed or workshop. Or you could decide to add clear panels to create the greenhouse of your dreams!
The PDF plans contain 22 pages full of drawings, 3d renderings and timber and fastener lists. Finally, we also show each timber with dimensioned cut plans. This gives you with everything that you will need to cut the frame, fast and accurately. The plans are formatted to letter size paper, easily printed from your home and ready for instant download.
