A Beautiful Gambrel Shed Plan

As one of our largest gambrel sheds the 16x24 gambrel barn is big enough to be used as a small barn or large workshop. The upper loft area has 320 square feet of addtional storage space with over 6 feet of headroom.

The plans are included to build the doors on site or you can purchase them from a local door factory.

16x24 Gambrel Shed Plans Include The Following:

• Materials List: The shed plans come with a complete materials list that is broken down by parts of the shed.
• 5 Foundations: The shed plans include plans for a wood rail foundation, concrete slab, poured pier, concrete block pier, treated wood on crushed gravel.
• Floor: 2x6 floor joists with 3/4" floor sheathing.
• Walls Framing: 2x4 framing at 16" on center with a double top plate, just like a home is framed.
• Wall Height: The shed wall height is drawn to 7'-7" with the option to use 92 5/8" framing studs which make an 8'-1" wall if you want a taller wall.
• Door: Home Built Door
  • Double End Door Size - 6'-0" x 6'-8"
  • Side Door - 3'-0" x 6'-8"
• Siding: T-111 exterior siding. Other sidings such as vinyl or cement based sidings may be used.
• Roof: The roof on the 16x24 gambrel shed is large enough that we recommend that the owner and builder consult a local structural engineer to size and specify the framing members and connections. The plans do include a guideline for the rafter construction but it is the responsibility of the owner to verify that they will satisfy local roof loading conditions.
• Roof Pitch: 7/12 and 12/7
• Roof Overhang: 6" on the eves and 12" on the gable ends
• Roofing: 25 year asphalt shingles.
• Windows: The shed has five windows. The three windows on the side walls are 2036 (2'-6" x 2'-6").
• Trim: 1x4 and 1x6 wood, masonite or cement trim materials are used to finish the corners, roof eves and facia, and door.
• Floor Load: 50 pounds per square foot for framed floors. You don't want your shed floor to feel spongy.
• Roof Snow Load: 40 pounds per square foot. This is more than adequate for most areas. If you live in an area with a high snow load you should check with your local building department for your local snow load.
