What's Included

We take immense pride in our team of exceptionally skilled timber frame designers. Each member is not only equipped with the finest tools but also possesses a profound understanding of how different materials intricately come together to realize your vision. This deep expertise in both design and material synergy is crucial in crafting the ideal timber frame structure tailored just for you.
Our commitment to excellence extends to our engineering team, specialists in timber frame structures, many of whom hold doctorates in their field. Sharing your passion for timber framing, our engineers work closely with you, ensuring that every aspect of the frame's design is customized to suit your specific location. This collaborative process guarantees that you receive all necessary documentation for permits, including detailed engineered reaction diagrams, ensuring your construction proceeds smoothly and stays on schedule.
The culmination of this meticulous process is a comprehensive set of construction drawings. These detailed plans not only provide a clear guide for your kit's assembly but also include a complete list of timbers and fasteners, serving as an invaluable reference throughout the installation of your frame. Our goal is to ensure that every step, from initial design to final construction, is seamless, transparent, and perfectly aligned with your project's needs.
After we've collaboratively chosen the ideal wood type for your project, we proceed to source the highest quality timber through our network of trusted mills. Ensuring that every piece meets our exacting standards, we then transport the timber to one of our cutting facilities. There, the joinery is meticulously crafted using CNC machines. Every joint, drilling, mortise, and tenon is cut with precision, adhering to tight tolerances for impeccable quality and fit.
Following the cutting process, all timbers are systematically labeled according to the production numbers assigned during the creation of your model and plans. This meticulous process ensures that every component of your timber frame is prepared with the utmost attention to detail, ready for the next phase of your project.
Included with your package are all the pegs, fasteners, screws, and connectors you need to put your ready-to-raise frame together. You will also get a detailed list for you to refer to while raising your frame.
We carefully package and securely transport your timber frame and all necessary hardware directly to your location. In sync with you, we'll coordinate the delivery schedule, ensuring that we agree on an approximate time on the designated date. To facilitate a smooth and safe unloading process, it's important to have equipment on hand capable of lifting up to 5,000 lbs. Once everything is delivered and in place, the exciting phase of bringing your project to life begins.

At Timber Frame HQ, we embrace the philosophy of 'One Person, One Project.' This approach ensures that each client is paired with a dedicated Project Manager who will be your point of contact throughout the entire project. We believe in offering personalized, consistent support to make your journey with us as smooth and fulfilling as possible.
Our commitment extends beyond just providing exceptional timber frames. As your construction resource, we'll be by your side for the duration of your project, ready to offer expert advice, support, and answers to all your queries. Our goal is to make the process of raising your timber frame not just successful, but also a deeply rewarding experience.

How difficult would it be to do this as a true timber frame without the metal fasteners? For a rookie?
Tony, the small size makes it a good beginner project. But if you want a true timber frame, have you seen this 10×10 King Post Truss Plan? The joinery is already drawn out for you.
I have seen those plans thank you. But I prefer the roof style on the other 10×10 structure. I am wondering if it would easier to take the smaller 8×12 shed or the larger 12×14 shed and adjust? What I think I would really like is a 10×12 timber frame.
Tony, take a look at this 10×14 King Post Plan. The width is what you want, so no adjusting there- all you would need to do is shorten the plates and eliminate a few rafters.
Do you have plans for 10’x12’ gazebo and how do you. Anchor the post down to concrete
We see you are actually asking for a 10×16 gazebo. We don’t have plans for one but do offer custom design services here: https://timberframehq.com/custom-design/. As far as concrete connections, there are many options. We show some of them here:https://timberframehq.com/construction-details/masonryconcrete-to-timber/
How hard would it be to get plans for a 10X14 or 10 X16 King Post plan?
Bradley, offer custom design services and would be glad to help you. You can find out more on them here.
Thank you Katrina.
Any estimate on wood quantities with this 10 x 10 King Post Plan ? And cost…
This plan uses 806 board feet; 6×6 posts, 6×10 plates and 4×6 rafters
Could this be adjusted to an 8 x 8? I’m looking to build a hot tub shelter.
It would be easier to adjust this 8×12 Timber Frame Plan
What is the end overhang? I’d like to create an exterior covered grill area. We cannot exceed a 10×10 base, but can accommodate up to 14×14’ roof line.
The overhangs are 2′ parallel with the plates and 1′-7 1/2″ across the gable.
