Just over ten years ago, Sweden-based, Swedish Timber Frame erected their first framework outside Örebro, Sweden using timber from a 19th century house. Since then they have built over forty frameworks inspired by the simplicity yet, robust way to build. Rarely building two frameworks that look the same, each build looks to create something unique for each client. According to Swedish Timber Frame, timber framing, an old way of building houses, modernized thanks to new tools and machines, makes these types of structures more and more affordable. Different from traditional log houses, the supporting structure consists of a framework of posts,

Introducing ‘Harry’s Cabin’, my smallest and simplest design and also one of my best-sellers. For good reason, too: this permit-free* design gives you the classic A-frame look at a very low cost - I built the one in the photos for about US$2500 in lumber in 2021. Probably cheaper now, as lumber prices have cooled off from their pandemic highs. Build it as a DIY project, or hand the plans off to a professional carpenter. I built the one in these photos working solo, on and off over a couple of weeks - more hands could make it even quicker for you. It requires no heavy machinery or specialized tools to build, and all the critical dimensions and angles are called out on the plans, so that you spend less time scratching your head trying to remember your high school geometry and can concentrate on having fun. The 9’ x 12’ interior floor area lets you build it *permit-free in most jurisdictions in North America. With a 4’ x 12’ covered deck, this versatile little beauty really shines as a sleeping cabin, backyard office or studio, or kid’s hang-out, just about anywhere you’d like to put it. Leave the framing exposed for the ultimate in rich, rustic simplicity, or add insulation and finish the ceiling for comfortable year-round use. Very simple to build, this is a great DIY project as a backyard getaway space for the kids - or you! - or as a complement to a larger main cabin or house project. With a small team of 2-3 friends this cabin could be built from start to finish in about a week. Included with the plans is a list of the off-the-shelf materials required, for simple one-stop pricing and ordering from your local lumber yard or box store. If you would like to calculate your materials costs before you buy the plans, drop me a line with your email address and I will send you the materials list, free of charge. Added bonus for purchasers: I have a Google Drive folder full of photos taken during construction of a mini-A; your purchase includes access to these photos, so that you can study the various stages and components along with the plans, to fully understand the process of building it. Have a look. Let me know if you have questions. ——————————————— *This cabin may be built without a construction permit depending on the project site and intended use.
