16×24 Timber Frame Shed Roof Plan

16×24 Timber Frame Shed Roof Rendering

Need a straightforward timber frame that adapts to almost any purpose—workshop, carport, animal shelter, or guest cabin? Look no further than this 16×24 Shed Roof Plan. Its single-plane roof simplifies the build by reducing the number of timbers and joints. Yet, you’ll still enjoy 384 square feet of usable space, plus two-foot overhangs that shield everything beneath it from the elements.

Room to Grow & Customize
Soaring beyond 14 feet at its peak, this design grants ample headroom for a storage loft or just plenty of open space. Add windows for natural light or enclose the area for more privacy. With only three bents, the layout remains flexible—easy to adapt to your specific needs. And because the timbers are 8× material, you can rely on a rugged, durable frame built to handle years of heavy use.

Ready-To-Raise™ Kits
For even more convenience, opt for one of our Ready-To-Raise™ Kits, which come pre-cut and clearly labeled to streamline your construction process. Whether you’re a seasoned builder or new to timber framing, you can spend less time measuring and cutting—and more time enjoying your newly completed structure.

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.

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. BRADY MARSHALL

    Could these plans be adapted to using full dimension timbers and using square rule layout. Also could knee braces be changed easily to single shoulder lap tenons that are flush to the outside. I guess this question could be for any of your other plans as well.
    Thanks

  2. Would it be possible to get just a materials list for lengths of the timbers required in this plan?
    I like the simplicity of this plan for a shop, but it hinges on us being able to mill our timbers on our wood mizer mill. If it seems feasible, I would certainly procedd to buy the plans when ready to start planning.

    Thanks.

  3. Hi – I would like to add a steel roof to this in an area that has light to moderate amount of snow. Is there any modification needed or suggested? Thanks!

  4. dimensions please for loft including height . Wanting to use it for walk-around bed (don’t want to “crawl” in this space)

  5. Katrina Williams

    The dimensions are 16’x24′ from outside to outside of the posts. From the top pf the tie beam to the bottom of the raftes, the height is 1′-2 1/2″ on the short side and 5′-0 5/8″ on the tall side. The roof pitch is set up at 3:12; if you wanted more head room you could make a steeper pitch. Hope that helps!

  6. To have more headroom could the plans you have now be used or would I have to request custom plans ?

  7. What are the dimensions of the posts and beams in this design? Also curious why the scarf joint for the beams are shown over a knee brace instead of directly over the center post? Thanks!

  8. Katrina Williams

    The plans we offer on our website have all been reviewed by an engineer. People build our frames all over the country, and in each location, there are different requirements.  Timber species, design loads, and values needed are just some of the factors engineers need to take into account in each case.  In fact, an engineer will not stamp a set of drawings unless the site address is on the plans.

    We do offer engineering services as an add-on to our standard plans. We can offer these services in all states except Illinois and Hawaii. We can also serve the Canadian Provinces of AB, BC, ON, SK, AND YT. If this is something you are interested in, head over to this link and fill out the brief questionnaire. 
    As soon as we get your information and give it a quick review we’ll contact you. Please allow a couple of days for our team to respond.  

  9. I am thnking about building a solar carport (20×26) with a 9 degree pitch Would this basic plan work for that (with some modifications of course.)

  10. Katrina Williams

    Corey, this plan is designed with a 3:12 pitch. Depending on your location, a 1:12 pitch may not be desirable. You can use this form to contact our custom design team to find out more.

  11. Do you guys sell plans/kits for a 16×24 building to go under this roof? It bought I saw it yesterday but can’t find it now.

  12. Is it possible to get a materials list for this? The plan looks like exactly what I want but I need to source and price the timbers. Thanks

  13. Katrina Williams

    The material lists come when you purchase the plan. Keep in mind that we offer a 30-day guarantee, so if you look at the list and it doesn’t suit you, we will refund your purchase price. We can tell you that the timber sizes are Posts – 8×8
    Tie Beams – 8×10
    Plates – 8×10
    Rafters – 6×8
    Braces – 4×8
    And the plan utilizes 2224 board feet.
