18' x 24' Gravel Run Cabin
This 18' x 24' Cabin frame is designed to create an impressive, yet cozy cabin. The layout features a covered front entry, a half loft, and cathedral ceilings, making it an ideal choice for a range of uses. The size of the cabin is 18 feet by 24 feet, offering a compact but spacious design.
The frame utilizes mortise and tenon joinery, known for its strength and durability. The posts are 8x8, providing solid support, while the plate beams are 8x12 to ensure stability throughout the structure. The tie beams are 6x8, and the girder is 8x10, which together help distribute the load evenly. The joists are 6x8, and the rafters are 4x8, both contributing to the cabin's overall structural integrity. For additional support, the knee braces are 4x6.
The roof features a 12-pitch, which adds to the cabin's rustic aesthetic, with a dormer that has a 7-pitch for extra charm. The wall height stands at 12'-9 1/2", offering ample headroom, and the rafter overhang is 2 feet, providing shelter and protecting the structure from the elements.
This frame is perfect for building a timeless timber-frame cabin that combines functionality with beautiful design.
