Build the timber frame workshop you’ve wanted!
This 32×24 Timber Frame Workshop plan makes use of large bracing that has an old-world charm. This workshop would fit perfectly on the back of a large residential lot or as an accessory building on a working on hobby farm. It has a mow, or drive through, that has over 9’ clearance to allow all manners of trucks and small tractors to pull through.
Timber Frame and Board and Batten
Joint and Peg anticipates that this structure would work wonderfully on a farm in the Carolinas or other southeastern location. This design does not include an insulation area. You see the board and batten siding from the inside. For this reason, we have chosen to employ larger knee braces and small nail girts so that you can attach vertical board and batten siding.
Proper bracing for a strong timber frame.
Many other timber frame designs will have small braces and by the time you need to actually get the building to perform in its environment the plans will eventually require plywood. We don’t want that! No, this will stand without the panel product.
We have also included a footer and stem wall foundation that rises above grade with a P/T 2x mudsill under a 4x timber sill plate. This allows for an easier raising as the sills have mortises that catch the bottom of the posts when you stand the assemblies.
As this is a workshop or storage barn we wanted a clear span on the inside. To accomplish this, we designed a kingpost truss at the ridge apex. This timber frame workshop will age nicely and is designed to last for a couple of generations with care.
The workshop has (4) single hung windows that can be trimmed out to your desire and let just the right amount of light in. The roof is currently designed with a 2x tongue and groove deck with a metal roof atop.
We like this so much we might build this as our new shop.
