The Ramapo 128 - 96sf outbuilding

THE Ramapo is the flagship of our free plan series. This is a 3 plywood large building made as square as possible without any extra fanciful saw work. This originally started out as a sketch for a bunkhouse on a rural property. The square walls, simple roofline, and single windowed facade make for a quick frame-up. If you learned on Tuesday that the in-laws were coming you could erect this little mansion in time for their Friday arrival.

The original intention was to place a 38" twin size bunkbed to the left and a 54" full size bed on the right. By shifting the door about 2' left you could have room for a queen mattress and floor space to tango. The other option is to squeeze in a small powder room to the right of the door, possibly with a lofted bed above. The possibilities here are endless and only limited by the mount of warning you have to build.

Most jurisdictions should not require a building permit for such a small structure. However you may want to inquire as to whether a zoning permit is necessary. As always, obey setbacks and don't irritate your neighbors.

All plans include four elevations, floor plans, foundation plans, at least two building sections, framing plans for the second floor and/or roof, and notes and construction details. This is everything you will need to build, but may not be everything you need to get a permit. Check with your local jurisdiction. Electrical layouts, cabinet elevations and engineering are not included.

The Watson 88 - 64sf outbuilding

THE Watson is the third of our free plan series. If one is given two planks of plywood, how would you create a floor to most effectively enclose the space? Shortest perimeter of course. Why, it's elementary my dear Watson. Of course we all inherently knew this already. The Watson is big enough for a garden office or you could squeeze in a full size guest bed (queen not recommended).

As with our other plans, 80" studs result in a 7' plate height. The roof is pitched at 6' long in order to use materials effectively. The windows are a true 24" wide but if you can find 22" wide frames you would be able to slide the windows in between 24" on center studs. Of course wall framing and roof framing plans are included. We hope that every inch of wood you'll need is already called for on the plans.

The Kendall 84 - 32sf outbuilding

THE Kendall is the second of our free plan series. A simple 4x8 building is flanked by a 4x8 porch to give it a little more oomph. The building is enclosed in windows to give a sense of connectedness to the outdoors. Two desks are suggested in the drawing but this might make a nice space for an outdoor bathroom as well. Windows in a bathroom? Outlandish! Well perhaps not for a city lot but out in the woods with the bears, not so bad.

The low wall on the window side is 7' tall while the tall wall in the middle is over 9' high. This helps give a better scale of humanness and less a scale of farm structure. The roof is pitched at 6' long in order to use materials effectively. As with our other free plans, wall framing and roof framing plans are included. We hope that every inch of wood you'll need is already called for on the plans.

The Bell 66 - 32sf outbuilding

THE Bell is the first of our free plan series. The little outbuilding was built out of an experiment on how to design a stand alone office with a single piece of plywood as the floor. With one single cut something more than a 4x8 building is realized. One can now sit in their chair and access two 42" desks a mere 90 degrees from each other. Shelving is suggested but at the discretion of the occupant.

While walls are only 7' tall (in order to avoid the look of a neighborhood rocket ship) the height of the inside vault is 8'-9".

Cottage businesses and hobbies should not be your only restriction. Consider using this space as a meditation or reading space. Instead of two desks, consider one full height shelf in one wing with an armchair occupying the other wing. Or get creative and make the second wing 16" deep instead of 24". While some minor details will change, the overall feel of the plan will not. Feel claustrophobic? Add more windows!

Most jurisdictions should not require a building permit for such a small structure. However you may want to inquire as to whether a zoning permit is necessary. As always, obey setbacks and don't irritate your neighbors.

Tiny House Plans

Our tiny homes are freestanding detached homes with or without garages. They are generally designed for one or two people, vacation cottages, or accessory dwelling units. Istockhouseplans' tiny homes are 800sf and less. Per Tumbleweed House's mission, these tiny homes could certainly be the only dwelling on a property if your zoning code allows.

THE Maple garage was inspired during a train ride. Rail buildings, especially those from the golden age of the iron horse are so beautiful in their functionality. This particular building was next to a track near the main depot. We can only imagine what it might be. Switching house? Conductor's lounge? Speakeasy? Whatever it is the form and style were beautiful. We have taken the concept and created something even more versatile. Perhaps you simply need a garage and 384sf apartment on your property. Or maybe you need to cleverly disguise your auto shop within a neighborhood. Downstairs can service one car at a time while your secretary checks out rail schedules and Prada purses upstairs.

If you like a little more industrial look, consider using the alternate elevation. We used the original inspiration's decor, brick siding and metal roof. A metal staircase would complete the outfit.

This plan is sold with a slab style foundation included. If you need to modify to a suspended garage, please contact an engineer local to your area.

THE Pine series are our mid-level garages, for when you need a double car detached garage or a classy looking shop or storage space. The Pine will fit in comfortably with a footprint of 20 feet wide and 20 feet deep. The 'A' is 24x24 feet and comes with double 8 foot wide garage doors plus a 336sf bonus room upstairs.

For maximum use of minimum space consider the Pine B. If the Pine brothers were Italians, 'B' would be named Guido. Guido has been stretched out to 32' deep. Two cars will easily fit inside, plus a shop or small host of 'projects'. Upstairs is a 500sf apartment or meetin' room. A bathroom is outfitted as well as spaces for a kitchen and bed.

All garages are framed with 2x4 walls for maximum floor space. If you preferred to stick frame the roof of the Pine you could gain extra storage in the rafters. You might also inquire of your truss company about using attic style trusses. You might have limited headroom, but you could get your Christmas decor out of sight and throw it up above. The roofs are 12:12 pitch, but of course you can change that to suit your needs.

This plan is sold with a slab style foundation included. If you need to modify to a suspended garage, please contact an engineer local to your area.

THE Pine series are our mid-level garages, for when you need a double car detached garage or a classy looking shop or storage space. The Pine will fit in comfortably with a footprint of 20 feet wide and 20 feet deep. A 16 foot garage door is specified. If space is at a premium and you would like more storage in one building, consider the Pine A. This brother to the Pine has been to the gym a few more times and eats his Wheaties. The 'A' is 24x24 feet and comes with double 8 foot wide garage doors plus a 336sf bonus room upstairs.

For maximum use of minimum space consider the Pine B.
