Two different pitches form the roof of this unusual 26×30 timber frame workshop. The steeper pitch over the loft creates more headroom and makes that space functional for things like sleeping, office space or storage. One plane of the roof is almost a 9:12 pitch, while the other is a bit under 4:12.
Beefy 8x timbers form this workshop! Note that the actual footprint is 25'-8 ½” x 29'-5”. It's designed to have the 10' bays be a covered porch perfect for relaxing after a day's work. That would leave 461 square feet of enclosed space plus the 231 square feet in the loft. If you decide to enclose the porch area you'd have a total of 1000 square feet, and still have generous two foot overhangs for protection from the elements. That could make a sweet guest house or cabin in the woods.
There are many timber framing skills to be proud of in this frame, like the spline joints and scarf joints.
The plans set has all of the information you need to make this a successful project. It is formatted to be printed on 24×36 paper so it's large enough to make out all the details.
