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.
No plywood!
Joint and Peg anticipates that this structure would work wonderfully on a farm in the Carolinas or other southeastern location. We don’t see it being insulated, although you could. 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. As such you can see the board and batten from the inside.
Many other timber frame designs you will see 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.
More than just a barebone timber frame!
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 a new shop. Please check out our Concept Plan and Engineered Plan on this one.

32×24 Timber Frame Engineered Plan
Are you ready to build but the permit office, or prudence, or Joint and Peg, is suggesting engineered drawings?
Then it’s time to get proper construction drawings for this 32×24 Timber Frame Workshop with our Engineered Plan. The set covers all bases including the methods of the work, compliance, and materials. Please see “Additional Information” on this page to determine whether we can provide this service for your state.
A Professional Engineer that has licensure in your state will seal your plan. Consequently, the plans will include site specific address data, design criteria, and material specifications. You can submit these construction documents directly to any Authority Having Jurisdiction (Permit Office) that is requesting or requiring these for your project.
You will have at least (3) choices of timber species. Typically, you can count on Southern Yellow Pine, Douglas Fir, or Oak to pass muster. You will let us know which of those is most suitable for you.
