This 18×24 timber frame with purlins has great architectural detailing. The struts and knee braces gently curve, creating a beautiful structure. The rafters and purlins of the steeply pitched 12 in-12 roof create their rhythm – top them with simple metal roofing or add a tongue-in-groove ceiling to make a wonderful space.
The 18×24 footprint is large enough for many different uses – a combination of an outdoor kitchen and dining pavilion, a sweet detached guest house, a beautiful carport, or even a generous great room addition to your home. Whatever you use it for, you will be proud to show off your cutting and framing skills when the project is done!
The 25-sheet PDF plan set is ready to download once you purchase it. The drawings for this 18×24 pavilion with purlins include renderings, a timber schedule, plan, elevation, and sectional drawings, along with piece drawings showing each cut on every timber. There are also 3D drawings so you can visualize the project. The plan set is formatted at 8 /2″ x 11″, so you can easily print it at home or your neighborhood copy shop.

Does this come with different roof pitch?
What is total length and width of structure?
What is the total height?
The total height is 18’8 1/16″ to the top of the ridge in the drawings. It is 18’wide x 24′ long from outside of post to outside of the post 2′ overhangs all the way around it. We don’t have this design in any other roof pitches. We can create one with a different roof pitch though, check out our custom design services page.
Do the plans include information on the required footing depth for the posts?
There are so many different ways to handle foundations that it is difficult to include a foundation drawing for all the frames on the site in the drawings. We have completed a bunch of foundation details, you can find them at https://timberframehq.com/construction-details/masonryconcrete-to-timber/. You should be able to find one that works for you there if not lets set up a time to talk through where you are and what you are looking to build.
hi can i use normal mortise and tenon unstead of the metal fastner
Yes, you can use all mortise and tenons in this frame. The tie beam is in sustain tenon and so we recommend the all-thread connection.
I need a 18’ x 32’ or 31’ can you accommodate.
Thanks, Ron
Ron, that would be a fairly simple modification. Please check out our custom design page for more information.
Would it be possible to see the timber requirnments. Kinda need to price these out first to make sure I can afford the timbers.
Hello Matt: we just sent you an email with the timber list. Thank you for your interest!
I was hoping to see a cost breakdown for materials before buying the plans. Is this possible?
We do not have a cost breakdown of the materials. It will depend greatly on what species you are using and your location.
Ok, if I could get the list to purchase I think I’d be able to go from there.
Hi,
I was wondering two things.
Do you have a metric version of the plans?
What is the internal floor area (in-between supports) ?
Thank you
Hi,
Do you have these plans in metric?
And do you have the internal floor area?
Thanks!
Francis, we do not offer this plan in metric at this time. There are many conversion sites on the internet that could help you, however.
The dimensions are 18′ x 24′ from outside of post to outside of post. So the floor area is 432 square feet.
Can you send me the timber list?
We just emailed it to you, keep an eye out for it.
I need a 18’ x 20’. I assume I could use this plan and make the appropriate adjustments.?.? Could I also get a timber list? I’m trying to get an idea of species cost difference. Thanks!
Scott, it would be pretty easy to make the adjustments to shorten this to 20′. We do offer Custom Design services if you need the drawings adjusted. We will email you the timber list.
Can this be done in a post and beam connector style? Is it as simple as doing the joinery with connectors?
Yes, it can be converted to a post and beam plan. Some of the joints are in tension and I would recommend leaving the all-thread connection there.
Is that something that’s easy to do or can I request an actual different version that specifies post and beam
Whether it’s easy or not depends on your level of experience with timber frame- but if you would like us to modify that as a post and beam, check out our Custom Design services.
Interested in these plans. Can you send me the timber list?
What is the clearance height to the first horizontal beam? I have a boat that needs 13’6″. Do you think this could work? Also, please send me the timber list.
The top of the collar tie (on the gable end) is 9′-9″
18 x 24
I’m repeat custermer
Fee to make. 18 x 20
Rough lumber list. So I can Price
Than price as a kit with a pine
Than a oak.
Brian
Brian, have you purchased this plan? If so it would be the same timber list without the extra 4 feet for the purlins and ridges.
