Inspired by tradition and built for today, the 24x36 Sugar Shack Timber Frame lets you create a piece of living history on your property. Historically used to boil down maple sap into syrup, sugar shacks feature the signature cupola that once allowed steam to escape—now a charming architectural feature that adds character and light.
This adaptable frame offers much more than heritage style. Whether you use it as a working sugar shack, a guest house, tiny home, or workshop, the structure is built to last and designed to flex with your needs.
Frame Highlights:
- Footprint: 24' x 36' (864 sq ft between posts)
- Architectural Feature: Traditional cupola included in the design
- Timber Craftsmanship: Designed for strength, beauty, and longevity
- Flexible Use: Ideal for traditional syrup making, but easily adaptable for modern uses
Endless Possibilities:
- Working Sugar Shack: Honor the tradition and produce your own syrup
- Tiny Home: Transform into a cozy residence with rustic character
- Guest House: Welcome friends and family with a unique, comfortable retreat
- Workshop or Studio: Create an inspiring, timber-framed space for your craft or business

Does this one come as a kit or just the blueprints and how much if it is a kit
It can come in kit form as well. Head to timberframehq.com/kits to learn for and when you are ready fill out the brief questionnaire so we can learn enough to give you an estimate for the complete kit.
While I love the style of the timber frame sugar house, just a thought – this specific design might be slightly awkward for actual sugaring. The middle posts on the second and third bents stand right where you would probably want to have your evaporator and smoke stack positioned to allow the steam to escape straight up through the cupola.
Thank you for that observation. This is not really designed to be an operating sugar shack, but a fun pavilion with a nod to that history.
How much would the complete kit be, with shipping to a farm at Fort Assiniboine, AB, please ?
Or shipping to Edmonton ?
And where would I get the old style windows & doors, please ?
I deeply appreciate your help,
Thank you,
Tilman
The best way to get an accurate price for the kit would be to visit our Kit Page and fill out this questionnaire
Is there a version of this that is a little smaller…I’m looking for around 20 x 30…?
We could help you with that on a custom basis, you can find more information here
Do your plans call for dimensional or rough cut lumber?
Our plans are designed at S4S planed/nominal sizes (Ex. 8×8’s are actually 7 1/2″ x 7 1/2″). We designed this frame so people could go to a typical lumber yard and order the material, all of which would come nominally. You can use the plan for both square rule or edge rule depending on your needs.
