What's Included

We take immense pride in our team of exceptionally skilled timber frame designers. Each member is not only equipped with the finest tools but also possesses a profound understanding of how different materials intricately come together to realize your vision. This deep expertise in both design and material synergy is crucial in crafting the ideal timber frame structure tailored just for you.
Our commitment to excellence extends to our engineering team, specialists in timber frame structures, many of whom hold doctorates in their field. Sharing your passion for timber framing, our engineers work closely with you, ensuring that every aspect of the frame's design is customized to suit your specific location. 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.
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.
We carefully package and securely transport your timber frame and all necessary hardware directly to your location. In sync with you, we'll coordinate the delivery schedule, ensuring that we agree on an approximate time on the designated date. To facilitate a smooth and safe unloading process, it's important to have equipment on hand capable of lifting up to 5,000 lbs. Once everything is delivered and in place, the exciting phase of bringing your project to life begins.

At Timber Frame HQ, we embrace the philosophy of 'One Person, One Project.' This approach ensures that each client is paired with a dedicated Project Manager who will be your point of contact throughout the entire project. We believe in offering personalized, consistent support to make your journey with us as smooth and fulfilling as possible.
Our commitment extends beyond just providing exceptional timber frames. As your construction resource, we'll be by your side for the duration of your project, ready to offer expert advice, support, and answers to all your queries. Our goal is to make the process of raising your timber frame not just successful, but also a deeply rewarding experience.

are the measurements center of post to center of post? or outside of post to outside of post? or eave to eave? or ?
What does a 6′ x 10′ really mean?
is it true that I can spend $47 for this one plan or $147 for 50 plans, including this one? Seems too good to be true. If you buy all 50 do you only get to download one plan?
thanks.
The measurements are outside to outside of the posts. Yes you are right if you purchase the plan bundle you get access to a private page on the site where you can download all the plans that TFHQ has created.
looking at possibly placing this on a slab. what kind of connection would you use or recommend for the floor braces to concrete slab?
The braces are called out on the plays as optional. On a slab you will not need them. You can find some post to a concrete connection at https://timberframehq.com/construction-details/masonryconcrete-to-timber/
Any issue with constructing this from freshly milled green timbers? Also, would it be easy to adapt the design to make the shed 6×20, with two ‘bays’?
I think so, Richard. You will be just replicating joinery. Let me know if you need help sorting the rafter spacing.
What’s the height in this and length? Do the plans include enclosing the sides and the roof? Does it include plans for framing and a door? Thanks!
Derek, we replied to you on Etsy, but the plan measures 6’x10′ from outside to outside of the posts. We do not include siding, doors and roofing as a standard, but we could help you for an additional charge through our Custom Design department.
