Timber Frame Kit

Sep 23, 2009 3 Replies

Hi,



A few weeks ago I found a timber frame kit for a structure about 14' x 16' for around $4700. ABAIR, I started with one of the links in the post "Timber Frame Building." Unfortunatley, I cannot find it again. Did anyone else stumble on that page or know of a similar kit? I can go down a little is size and up in price if needed.



Thanks, Gary


Hmmm, I just priced out a stick framed garage 12 x 18 garage with ply sheeted roof (but no siding figured yet) and it was less than $550 for all the lumber + simpson connectors for the roof joist\rafters.

This is ever so helpful and timely .. As I read this, I was sketching and price estimating the shed I want It will depend on the municipal code, but I want 8*12 but will settle for

8*8

My cost reference point is Homedepot sheds for $1000+ and me thinking they are $4-600 in materials, and both I have to assemble after building the base (concrete pad is my plan)
