SPECIFICATIONS
This lovely 18x12 timber frame pavilion plan is a perfect size to fit in practically any landscape, yet large enough for so many purposes. You could create a dining pavilion, great workshop or sweet backyard retreat. We actually give you two plans when you purchase this 18x12 timber frame pavilion! We include a full plan set designed as a standalone structure, and a second one planned as a porch to be attached to an exterior wall of your home. You will love showing off your skills with the gently curved braces and embellished rafter ends.
This structure measures 18 feet x 12 feet from outside to outside of the posts. It is a single bay design that creates a totally clear floor space. There are generous 2 foot overhangs. The top of the top plate stands at +9’-3” high,and the top of the rafters are +17’-7” high. The roof pitch is 8 in 12. This frame utilizes 2218 board feet including 8x8, 8x10, 6x8, and 6x10 timbers
As soon as you make your purchase, you will receive links to download the pdfs of the plan sets. They are formatted to print best on 11”x17” paper, but you can print a set from home on letter size paper for study purposes. Both plan sets include 10 pages full of all the information you need for success: 3D drawings, post and rafter plans, section drawings, and detail drawings of the more complex areas of the frame. Both piece drawings sets include 17 pages showing you every cut you will make on each timber. And the pieces are labeled to match the 3D drawings on the plan sets, so you know exactly where each one fits in the frame.

This looks awesome!
Is it possible (would it be difficult) to double this up for an 18×24? That would be perfect for my workshop.
Mark
That would not be a problem, you would just need to mirror the frame. We are happy to make that adjustment in our custom design dept. or that would be easy to do in your shop.
What would the cost be for this plan to be modified to reflect an 18′ x 24′ pavillion? Thanks
We do take on custom projects and would like to talk to you further about yours. Check out our page, HERE, describing what we offer and the process of our custom design services.
Fill out the design questionnaire so we can understand your needs. That’s the best way to communicate with our team and get an estimate for design services. With that being said, extending a frame parallel with the ridge is one of the lesser expensive alterations.
What is the roofing sheathing typical for timber frame pavilions? It looks like some kind of 2x material and not plywood. Thank you in advance.
There are many options for roofing your timber frame. If you want to use tongue and groove so it looks amazing from the inside, here is what we recommend:
You can use 3/4″ T&G then put 2×4’s length-wise as a spacer, then put metal roofing straight on the 2x4s and screw them off. If using shingles you will need to add a layer of sheathing to give you the nail base on the 2×4’s. This will also give you space to run any electrical wires.
Alternatively, you can use 2x T&G and put the roofing straight onto that.
Could this be bumped out to 20ft wide and 24 ft long?
Yes it could, it would require quite a bit of custom design. Check out our page, HERE, describing what we offer and the process of our custom design services.
Can this be scaled down to 10×12 want to build this just a bit smaller!
We offer this 10×12 Shed Plan or if that doesn’t suit you we could help you through our Custom Design department.
Can this plan be scaled for 18×15, without adding another post in between?
The collar would need to be deeper, how deep depends on the snow load on the roof. However, a 15′ clear span could possibly work. If you would like help with the changes, please check out our Custom Design page.
Possible in 15 meters in large, for 20 meters in long?
That would be a custom design. Check out our page, HERE, describing what we offer and the process of our custom design services. Fill out the design questionnaire so we can understand your needs.
do you know what the maximum snow load is for this plan? we get up to 24″ of snow some winters.
Roof loads depend on factors like seismic areas, wind load, wind exposure, timber species and more. When in doubt we recommend that you consult an engineer. We do offer engineering services as an add-on to our standard plans. If this is something you are interested in, go to our Custom Design Project Information Form and fill it out to communicate with our team.
