Description

We are pleased to offer another versatile design in our series of shop print projects, the Fish Shack.

With 230 sq. ft. on each floor, it would make a great Tiny House with 460 sq. ft. of living space with an upstairs bedroom and a downstairs bath, as illustrated.

Imagine what else you could do with this attractive 17’ x 13’6” building!   At home by the water’s edge, the Fish Shack could function as a seaside cottage. It is ideal for use as a small retail outlet for any type of cottage industry. It’s a natural for antiques, crafts, folk art, and would serve well for an information center.

The complete set of Shop Prints for the Fish Shack consists of 21 pages. We have included samples of joinery and framing detail pages that show the level of information we provide.

Features of the Fish Shack drawings

1.Optional outside stair

The upstairs of the Fish Shack can be accessed from an outside stair. A space-saving ladder provides access on the inside.

2. Nailer plan

The nailer system is a time proven method of enclosure, seen in old barns across north America. Nailers are small members that span between posts horizontally,  and as their name suggests, are used to nail vertical sheathing, often board and batten .

3.  Option of full 2nd floor or loft

The timber floor framing plan comes in two versions; a full second floor with inside or outside stair, or a loft over one of the two bays.

4.Joinery & peg details

There are detailed drawings of all the joints in the frame, as well as peg placements.

5. General notes

6.  Timber List

Each timber is listed with its dimension and length.
