16×24 Shed Roof with Loft

A single‑slope roof, dramatic ceiling heights, and a built‑in loft give this frame the flexibility to become anything from a tall‑equipment barn to a chic off‑grid cabin.

Big Volume, Smart Footprint

• Two 12 × 16 bays under one roof plane
  • Bay 1: Clear‑span space soars from 17 ft down to 13 ft—ideal for tractors, boats, or a two‑story window wall
  • Bay 2: Lofted bay supplies a cozy upper level while keeping ~8 ft of headroom below
• Total enclosed area: ~600 sq ft of usable floor space (plus the visual volume of that 17‑ft ceiling)
• 3:12 shed roof with 2‑ft overhangs—easy to frame, great for solar, and built to shed rain & snow

Timber Craft You’ll Be Proud to Show Off

Your build won’t just be functional—it’ll be beautiful. Pegged mortise‑and‑tenon joinery pairs with elegant scarf joints for beams and plates, all cut from hefty 8× and 6× timbers. The single‑plane roof keeps cutting straightforward, yet the exposed frame turns every visitor’s head.
