The design of this 24x36 gambrel barn home plan maximizes every ounce of square footage! The frame gets its name from the characteristic dual roof pitches. Along with ample headroom down the center, you'll find plenty of storage space outside of the loft posts. A large dormer on the side brings lots of natural light into the second level. The queen post trusses allow for plenty of windows on the gambrel ends, providing a bright and open feel. The shed roof area along the other side of the ground level can be used as a porch or enclosed for additional square footage.
Square Footages:
- Main floor: 864 sq ft
- Loft: approx. 315 sq ft
- Porch: approx. 435 sq ft

This frame is SO good looking!
I really would like to build one, but the building code in my area sets a maximum height of 21′ 4″ so I would either have to make a lower first floor, or reduce the gambrel both of which would disturb the nice proportions of the building.
Could you program make it 5 or 10% smaller? that way it would still be possible to build according to plans instead of manually doing it and risking to mess up several times.

Thank you for your comments on this frame. If you are interested in us adjusting it for you, please visit our custom design page and fill out the questionnaire.
Are you able to convert the measurements to the metric system?
Thank you!
Liz
Liz, we don’t have that one in metric at the moment. We are happy to convert it for you. I will send you an email to start that process with you.
is the total footprint 24×36? or is that the footprint of the gambrel barn excluding the shed roof?
That plan come in two versions: one to accept your wall cladding and fit on a 24×36 foundation, and one without cladding. The one without measures 24’x36′ from outside to outside of the posts PLUS 12′ for the shed area. The one designed for cladding measures 22′-11 3/4″ x 34′-11 3/4″ outside of the posts PLUS 12′-6 1/8″ for the shed.
Do you have drawings for basement / slab requirement
Not in the stock set, but we can add that with our custom design service.
How many board feet of lumber is in this frame?
Is this kit only for the timber frame?
The calculator is for the mortise and tenon kit. When the CNC cuts the joinery for you, it makes a lot of sense to stick with M&T rather than paying for all of the additional hardware and labor associated with doing it as a post and beam.
Does the timber frame kit, include the siding, and the roof, and the windows? That I can see in the picture. Or is it Only the precut timber?
Plane clear english please.
Just the timber frame kit.
