24×36 Hammer Beam Truss Timber Frame

Historic Craftsmanship. Modern Elegance. Ready-to-Raise™.

Inspired by the soaring spaces of English Gothic architecture, the 24x36 Hammer Beam Pavilion combines medieval design heritage with practical, modern engineering. This pavilion doesn’t just provide shelter—it creates a stunning architectural statement for your property.

Design Highlights:

  • Footprint: Designed to fit a 24'x36' foundation
    • Actual Frame Dimensions: 22’-11 ¾” x 34’-11 ¾” (to outside of posts, to accommodate 6" wall framing and furring strips)
  • Ceiling Drama:
    • Upper plates at 11’-4 ¾”
    • Rafters soaring to 22’-10 ⅝”
  • Roof Pitch: 12:12 for striking vertical volume and a classic Gothic silhouette
  • Joinery Details:
    • Four hammer beam trusses create rhythm and visual interest
    • Chamfered through tenons add handcrafted detail
  • Board Footage: 5,730.3 board feet of premium timber

The hammer beam design achieves wide roof spans without requiring large timbers or central posts—leaving the interior space open and unobstructed. This makes the pavilion ideal for outdoor entertaining, weddings, dining spaces, or a dramatic garden retreat.

Versatile Uses:

  • Pavilion for events or entertaining
  • Outdoor dining or lounge area
  • Wedding or ceremony structure
  • Open-air great room or garden centerpiece
  • Future enclosure for guest quarters or creative studio

This collaborative process guarantees that you receive all necessary documentation for permits, including detailed engineered reaction diagrams, ensuring your construction proceeds smoothly and stays on schedule.

The culmination of this meticulous process is a comprehensive set of construction drawings. These detailed plans not only provide a clear guide for your kit's assembly but also include a complete list of timbers and fasteners, serving as an invaluable reference throughout the installation of your frame. Our goal is to ensure that every step, from initial design to final construction, is seamless, transparent, and perfectly aligned with your project's needs.

Timbers, Joinery and Connections

Timber Frame Joinery and Connections Offered

After we've collaboratively chosen the ideal wood type for your project, we proceed to source the highest quality timber through our network of trusted mills. Ensuring that every piece meets our exacting standards, we then transport the timber to one of our cutting facilities. There, the joinery is meticulously crafted using CNC machines. Every joint, drilling, mortise, and tenon is cut with precision, adhering to tight tolerances for impeccable quality and fit.

Following the cutting process, all timbers are systematically labeled according to the production numbers assigned during the creation of your model and plans. This meticulous process ensures that every component of your timber frame is prepared with the utmost attention to detail, ready for the next phase of your project.

Included with your package are all the pegs, fasteners, screws, and connectors you need to put your ready-to-raise frame together. You will also get a detailed list for you to refer to while raising your frame.

  1. Hi Bryce,

    Which one of the two hammer beam frames would be easier to convert to 24 x 20 with a 10 12 pitch roof, the 24×24 or the 16×24 ?

    Thanks Kevin Fanjoy

  2. Can you get these plans with roof pitch reduced to 9/12 slope? What is the longest members and the size of those members?

  3. That would be a custom design -Check out our page, HERE, describing what we offer and the process of our custom design services. The longest timber is 16′-3 1/4″ and they are 6×8

  4. Looking for a cut list on this, rough +-10% .
    To estimate my material cost and wood sizes before I purchase the plan to build.

    thanks,
    Mitch
