Hello, do you have metric scale in the project? I’m from europe and wanted to buy one, but I’m not sure if it is metric inside despite the inches etc. Thanks
Our plans are available in SAE measurements only. Converting a plan to metric actually involves a complete re-design in order to ensure accuracy. That could be in the neighborhood of 5-10 hours at $127.00 design fee. Our custom design services are here:https://timberframehq.com/custom-design/
There are conversion sites online, however, such as this one: https://www.thecalculatorsite.com/conversions/common/meters-to-feet-inches.php
Another solution that some folks have been successful with, is to purchase an SAE tape measure to do the job.
