8×12 Tiny House – Free Plans

I just completed drawing another set of free tiny house plans. This time it’s a classic 8′ x 12′ house with a 12/12 pitched roof. The plans are 20 pages and are drawn to the same level of detail as my other tiny house plans.

The walls are framed with 2x4s and the floor and roof are framed with 2x6s. It’s shown with a shingled exterior but you could finish it off however you like. Your choice of foundations could be used too, including a trailer; although the width may slightly exceed 8 1/2 feet and some minor changes would need to be made to accomodate the wheels.

If you’ve just seen tiny houses on HGTV Design Star, this design is similar in size but a bit simpler to build than those homes as it lacks the Craftsman Style adornments you saw there. Learn more about the Tumbleweed tiny houses you saw on HGTV.

I have bought some of this man’s plans and they are WELL WORTH the money, especially if you are a learn-as-you-go DIY-er who is building bit by bit upon your skill set. They are clear, easily understood, and easily executed!

Thank you so much for the free plans. We all know that you do not have to offer these and I can say that it is much appreciated. I also enjoy using Sketchup to design. Do you have the 8×12 available in the warehouse? Thanks again for everything!

Thanks Glenn.

Ironically I’ve never added anything to the Sketchup warehouse. I should though. Thanks for the reminder.

How difficult would it be to add an 8×6 loft to this cabin?
