What are the timber dimensions for this plan? Thanks
Ian the posts are 8x8s, the girts and plates are 8x10s and the rafters are 6x8s
Could this plan be built with 6×6 throughout?
Not as designed. It can utilize 6x material but not all of them would be able to be 6×6’s
Is the extra post in the middle necessary?
No it can be omitted.
Are the post to the ground on the gable ends required?
Not necessarily, depends on where you are, the tie beam would then support the loads from the roof to the kingpost.
If I omit the post below the king post, would the tie beam need to be bigger? I live in Colorado.
Hi . would a floor plan work with this frame ? thanks
Do you have these plans in metric?
No, these plans are available in Imperial only as stock plans. You could contact our custom design department here to convert them for you (at additional cost).
What’s the square footage of the roof, for estimating roofing material costs?
Thanks!
There are two-foot overhangs all around, beyond the 18×24 footprint.
Is the brace piece required from the king post to the joist
Braces are critical for the strength of the frame. So yes, they are required unless you run that change by an engineer.
