About the Illustrations
Some of the architectural illustrations shown on this page may be AI-assisted
visualizations derived from the Joint & Peg 3D model. They are intended to
illustrate the character and appearance of the building; the accompanying

details, and joinery.
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.

3d Interactive Model
Explore this design in 3D
The interactive 3D model included with the Project Planning Package lets you explore the timber frame from different angles and better understand its structure, proportions, and joinery.
Watch the video below to see how the interactive model works and what you can expect to receive with your planning package.
The 3D model is provided for design visualization and planning. Refer to the purchased construction documents for dimensions, specifications, and construction details.
Planning vs. Construction
Project Planning Package
The Project Planning Package is designed for the early stages of a project, when you are evaluating the design, developing costs, coordinating the project, and deciding how you want to proceed.
It is useful for:
Evaluating whether the design is right for your project
Developing preliminary pricing and budgets
Working with builders, contractors, architects, or engineers
Coordinating the design with your site
Working through permitting or approval requirements
Deciding whether to move forward with construction
Project Construction Package
The Project Construction Package is designed for customers who are ready to move from planning to fabrication and construction.
It provides detailed timber-frame documentation needed to fabricate and assemble the frame, including construction drawings, timber member information, joinery details, and shop drawing information.
It is useful for:
Fabricating the timber frame
Preparing timbers for layout and cutting
Understanding individual members and their connections
Planning frame assembly
Providing detailed information to builders and timber framers
In Simple Terms
Planning = Understand, price, coordinate, and prepare.
Construction = Fabricate and build.
Which Package Is Right for Me?
Choose the Project Planning Package if you are:
Still evaluating the project
Developing preliminary costs
Getting bids or discussing the project with builders
Working through permitting or site considerations
Deciding whether to proceed with construction
Choose the Project Construction Package if you are:
Ready to fabricate or build the timber frame
Preparing to order or cut timbers
A builder or timber framer who needs detailed construction information
Ready to work from detailed joinery and shop drawings
Some designs are offered only as Construction Packages. If no Planning Package option is shown on this product page, this product is the Construction Package.
Important Info
Every state, county or municipality will have its own building and code requirements as environments differ from one region to the next. It is possible that your plan may need to be modified to comply with these local requirements and conditions. This is particularly true in coastal areas and those facing seismic events, extreme winds, and heavy snow.
If you are building in any of these areas and depending on the size and purpose of the structure, it is likely that a licensed structural engineer will be needed to provide the necessary calculations and stamp.
All pre-drawn plans from Joint and Peg do not carry a stamp from a licensed architect or a licensed engineer. Please understand that we will not be held responsible for the performance and suitability of this design plan as we don’t know the criteria with where you plan to build, nor the material to be used, nor any additional structure to be implemented in the construction.
If this is a requirement from your local building department, or it proves to be the prudent thing to do, Joint and Peg can provide you state sealed engineered drawings for an additional fee. When it comes to the time to build, we highly recommend that you enlist our engineering service. Otherwise, the onus of this structure’s performance is solely with others, not Joint and Peg.
Single Use Terms
We authorize the use of our plans for one single project; conditioned on your obligation and agreement to comply with all local building codes, ordinances, regulations, and requirements, including permits and inspections at the time of and during construction. Multiplied use of our plans is prohibited. Thank you.
