Our 24 × 24 Shed‑Roof Outbuilding does it all. The clear‑span footprint gives you 576 sq ft to park vehicles, run power tools, or outfit cozy guest quarters. At the standard 3:12 pitch the ceiling tops out at 16 ft 3 in, but we also supply 4:12 and 5:12 roof‑pitch options. Go steeper to gain head‑room for a loft—perfect for storage or an extra sleeping nook—and add clerestory windows to keep the space bright all day.
A Showcase for True Timber Craft
Built with robust mortise‑and‑tenon joinery—and finished with classic scarf and spline joints—this frame is as beautiful as it is strong. Whether you’re raising it as a weekend DIY project or hiring a crew, the exposed beams turn everyday parking or tinkering into a statement of craftsmanship you’ll be proud to show off.
Ready‑to‑Raise Kits—Speed Meets Precision
Upgrade to our Ready‑to‑Raise Kit and receive every timber CNC‑cut, pre‑drilled, and clearly labeled. You’ll save days of layout time and ensure a snug, square fit:
8× posts and beams milled for perfect mortise‑and‑tenon connections
Pre‑cut scarf and spline joints—with pegs and hardware bagged by stage
Illustrated raising guide plus phone/email support from our timber‑frame team
From the first post to roof sheathing, most crews finish the frame in a single weekend.
Custom Design—Tailored to Your Vision
Need deeper overhangs for solar shading? Extra garage doors? A wrap‑around porch? Our in‑house designers can modify roof pitch, wall height, window/door placement, or timber species to match your climate, zoning, and personal style. We’ll deliver updated engineering and shop drawings ready for permitting and fabrication.

Is this 24×24 Shed roof outbuilding, compatible with metal CONNEX fastners.?.
What makes this specifically for an outbuilding and not for a dwelling?
The exposed timbers in the overhang, but it certainly can be used for a dwelling.
Could this be expanded to 36′ x 24′ with two levels and used as a home?
Yes! You can either do those changes in the shop or we can create a custom plan for you. If the latter interest you please reach out to me at brice@timberframehq.com.
Would it be possible to remove the front center post so there is a unblocked 24 foot wall in the front of the structure?

That way I can pull a 14-16ft wide trailer inside.
It is possible, but it would need to carry a lot of loads as this frame has a load-bearing ridge.
Hello, is there a way to remove the center post space (perhaps shortening it to 20×24 or 16×24 so it is an open space with no center post?
Thank you,
Helen

Yes, you can span that distance with a parallel chord, take a look at the plan at https://timberframehq.com/lean-to-shed-plan/ it utilizes that clear span in the middle wall section. Depending on your location you may be able to span the 24′. Contact us at support@timberframehq.com for more information.
Hi, can you tell me what the longest length beam I would need for this plan? I’m guessing 12’ but wanted to check for sure.
Ryan, click here for the timber list.
What would it cost to adapt this to a 48′ x 24′ structure with the roof peaked in the center and be suitable to add straw bale walls? I am planning a large workshop so center posts would not be a problem if needed.
Beth, the best way for you to get a price to do that would be to visit our Custom Design page and fill out the questionnaire- thank you!
Is this plan editable in Sketch-Up? I want to change the post heights to 18-16-14, and I also need to change the building footprint to 24×22…
Let me know. Thanks . SB
Steve, we do not provide the sketchup files for our plans.
Hello I would like to buy the plans for my future garage (24’deep x 32′ wide) do you have a plan similar to:
https://timberframehq.com/24×24-shed-roof-outbuilding
But for a footprint of 24’deep x 32’wide. ?
We don’t have a 24×32 plan but you can head to our custom design page to find out about the services we offer: https://timberframehq.com/custom-design/
How much is it to get architectural drawings with the plans?
Ruben, we can help you with that through our custom design department. In order to get in communication with our team and receive an estimate for the work, please go to this page and fill out the questionnaire
You need some plans for solar carports for condo associations. In my case it would be 8 cars, with solar panels facing south, 8:12 rise.
Our Custom Design Department could help you with that.
Can this building be built on a pre- existing stem slab foundation?
Yes, provided that the footings where the posts are are strong enough for the point loads coming down on them.
What’s the height of the rear and middle cross members? I assume from the description the front one is 16’.
The plates are all nominal 8×10’s. The top of the plates stand at 15′-6″ (front), 12′-7 7/8″ (middle) and 9′-7 7/8″ (rear).
Can these plans be adjusted for a bolted plate design?
They can, although metal connections can end up being more expensive than timber frame. You may want to email our team at projects@timberframehq.com
