Classic Barn Style Meets Modern Functionality
Make a bold architectural statement with the 16x24 Gambrel Timber Frame—a structure that blends traditional charm with practical versatility. Featuring the iconic double-slope roof and a generous shed addition, this frame delivers visual appeal, functional space, and the opportunity to build something truly memorable.
Key Features:
- Main Frame Footprint: 16'x24' (outside to outside of posts)
- Attached Shed Roof: Adds nearly 8' of width for expanded living space or a welcoming covered porch
- Upper Level: 12'x16' floored loft area with shed dormer for enhanced headroom and natural light
- Total Usable Space: 768 sq ft
The gambrel roof isn't just about timeless good looks—it also unlocks more usable upper-level space. One half of the main floor boasts a vaulted ceiling for a spacious, open feel, while the other half includes a second level perfect for a lofted bedroom, studio, or reading nook.
Queen post framing on the side walls and wide spans on the first level create endless possibilities for window and door placement—whether you’re facing mountains, meadow, or morning sun.
