24’ Wide Core with (2) Shed Roofs
This 48×60 timber frame barn plan includes a 24-foot-wide monitor core with shed roofs that lean to on each side. There are (5) bays at 12’ spacing to make up the 60’ in length measured at the posts. With the addition of the (2) 12-foot sheds, the total footprint is 48’ wide by 60’ long.
The large size of this barn allows you to use the space for multiple purposes where the core could be a working shop or showroom and the shed roofs could be storage, offices, or even bedrooms. There are (2) storage lofts on each end that could be turned into other spaces with the addition of a stair or kept as is with ladder access.
The center (3) bays are a soaring vaulted space with king post trusses up high. Options abound with this barn and plans. Working Barn, Party Barn, Farmers Market, you name it. Designed with authentic craftsman style mortise and tenon joinery with hardwood pegged connections.
We recommend Southern Yellow Pine, Eastern White Pine, Douglas Fir, or White Oak for this frame.
Barn Designed for High Wind Areas
Along with our engineer colleagues we decided that X-bracing, or St. Andrews Cross, along the gable ends would provide the type of strength that this barn would see in a coastal zone.
The X-bracing in the 48×60 timber frame barn plan is not only original and appealing, it provides a huge amount of strength when high winds are subjected to this structure. In most areas, you will be fine to build this frame without the need for plywood to strengthen the timber frame.

F.A.Q.
Why purchase this plan from Joint and Peg?

What is included in this 48×60 Timber Frame Barn Plan by Joint and Peg?
When you purchase this plan you will receive at a minimum: a timber list for ordering materials, plan views, elevations, sections, and detailing to construct the project with authentic timber frame joinery. All drawings and lists for this 48×60 Timber Frame Barn Plan are delivered instantly via email and download links.
I want to build this myself. Is this plan a good fit for me?
That depends on your skill level. One of our goals is to open the doors of timber framing to builders, carpenters, and DIY’s. The best of designs still requires a certain baseline of the builder to be able to know the basic concepts of construction. That said, if you have those basic skills and this 48×60 Timber Frame Barn Plan at your side, you are prepared to accomplish the project! It’s up to you at that point to get started!
What if I want to have someone else build it? Will the plans be good for that too?
Absolutely! Your builder/contractor/tradesperson should be ecstatic to see this 48×60 Timber Frame Barn Plan as it will be easy for them to accurately gauge the work, and the materials required. This translates to you receiving an accurate quote from them.
What is a part of timber framing that is commonly overlooked?
Timbers are heavy! Timbers are not 2x lumber that can be easily lifted. Material handling is often underestimated when it comes to timber frame projects. The smallest timbers typically are 4×6. Planning to work with material that is heavy is imperative. A good mind for logistics and staging is well suited for this craft.
What if I don’t want to or can’t build with timber frame joinery?
Some of our plans include options for both timber frame joinery and metal hardware connections. Whether this is available for this 48×60 Timber Frame Barn Plan is clarified in the description above.
That is great but can Joint and Peg build it for me?

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.
