24×32 Timber Frame Carport Plan

A carport with lots of space

This 2-bay timber frame carport measures out at 24 feet wide by 32 feet long at the posts! In addition to providing ample space for several cars or tractors, a portion of it can be utilized as a venue for hosting parties or other social gatherings.

The posts are 8×10 and we recommend using Southern Yellow Pine timbers or another strong timber species. When you are finished with this project, you will realize how much nicer and beautiful a timber frame structure is than a common lumber one.

You could use this open-air structure for a carport, pool house, party shelter, park pavilion, or many other uses. This clear span with no interior posts provides you with many opportunities to finish it out as you see fit. You could even enclose some, or all, of the walls and create a great workshop to complete your projects.

Snow Loads

This structure and plan has been designed to withstand up to 50lbs of ground snow load when you build with Southern Yellow Pine #1, Douglas Fir #1, or an equivalent or stronger timber.

Wind Loads

It has also been designed to withstand 115mph 3 second gust wind loads.  The frame could withstand slightly heavier snow loads with less wind.
