10 images Project overview
All the storage, all the headroom. This 12×16 barn shed plan uses a gambrel (barn) roof to create a huge, open interior with room for a loft – perfect as a workshop, garden barn, or hobby space where overhead storage matters.
The downloadable PDF includes step-by-step instructions, a complete cut list, a full material shopping list, and 3D assembly diagrams with dimensions, making the gambrel truss the easiest part of the build instead of the hardest.

- Ideal as a workshop or garden barn
- Printable PDF with cut list, materials list, and 3D diagrams
