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.
