Rough Sawn Timber Frame Instruction

A rough sawn timber frame plan that instructs on how to properly timber frame with inconsistent timbers while completing a shed roof build.

This plan is both a design plan you can build from and an educational instruction. Not only do all the drawings have the proper dimensions and notes of a solid design plan but there are extensive notes to go along with the plan that explain the “Why” as to a particular choice or method in the construction process.

Relying on our founder’s training and experience with timber frame construction, the knowledge gained through his career is being passed on here in this plan to help the aspiring DIY timber framers, or professional carpenters.
