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.
