The long 45° roof on the left holds four skylights, and the short, steep 64° roof on the right gives the kitchen side more wall height.

Four deck-mount skylights sit between the long rafters, with headers framed in Step 12.

Fifteen 6x6 posts stand on concrete piers poured below the frost line and carry three beams under the floor. Knee braces along the beams and 2x6 cross braces across every post row stiffen the base, and the 2x8 floor joists also work as rafter ties for each A-frame pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe raised front deck sits on its own posts, and a 14-step stair runs down about 11' 2-3\/4\" to a 4' landing pad. Because the floor is open to the air, the plan shows how to insulate the joist bays and close the underside with soffit panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e## Floor Plan With Bedroom and Bathroom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Great room: living area at the glass gable, dining in the middle and a kitchen along the right side\u003cbr\u003e- Bedroom: at the back, with an egress casement window and space for a queen bed\u003cbr\u003e- Bathroom: at the back, with space for a tub, a vanity and a WC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, the apex is 13' 11-7\/8\" above the floor, and a 10' 3-1\/16\" wide band of the floor has 6' 8\" headroom or more. A full-height 2x4 cross partition with two doors separates the great room from the bedroom and bathroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e## File Format, Paper Size and Units\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plan is a single PDF file sized for US Letter paper. Print it, or open it on a tablet or laptop on site. All dimensions are in imperial units with fractions to 1\/16\", and the master cut list also gives each length in millimeters. Drawings are not to scale, so always build from the written dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e## Who This Stilt House Plan Is For\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an advanced DIY plan. The posts, beams and floor are built from the ground with ladders, and all work above the floor needs scaffolding and at least three people. Plumbing and electrical work should be done by licensed trades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame is laid out for a ground snow load of up to about 40 psf and moderate wind. An elevated building must also resist sideways wind and earthquake loads, so the piers, post bases, bracing and connections must be checked and stamped by a local engineer. Getting the plan over the winter leaves time for that review, the permits and the glass order before the spring building season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e## How to Use This PDF Plan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.

Print it on US Letter paper, or open it on your phone, tablet or computer.\u003cbr\u003e4. Check your local codes and have the post foundation and frame reviewed by an engineer.\u003cbr\u003e5. Buy the materials from the shopping lists and cut the parts from the master cut list.\u003cbr\u003e6. Build the cabin step by step, from the piers to the stair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e## Digital Product Note\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a digital product. No physical item is shipped.

You may build as many cabins as you like for your own use. You may not resell, share or republish the PDF or its drawings, or build cabins from it for sale without written permission from KRMPLANS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e## Frequently Asked Questions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e### How do I download the PDF after purchase?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can download the PDF right after purchase from the link on the order confirmation page and in your confirmation email. Save it to your device so you can print it or open it at any time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e### How high off the ground is this A-frame cabin on stilts?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe top of the subfloor is 8' 7-1\/2\" above the ground, and the ridge cap is 24' 2-1\/2\" above the ground. A 14-step stair leads from the raised deck down to a concrete landing pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e### What foundation does this elevated cabin plan use?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis elevated cabin plan uses 15 6x6 PT posts on 18 concrete piers with 24\" footings below the frost line. Three 3-ply 2x12 beams, knee braces and cross braces carry and stiffen the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e### Does this stilt house plan have a bedroom and bathroom?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this stilt house plan has a 10' 3\" x 13' 3-3\/4\" bedroom and an 8' 6-1\/2\" x 13' 3-3\/4\" bathroom at the back. The great room in front holds the living, dining and kitchen areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e### Do I need an engineer for this elevated A-frame plan?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this plan is not an engineered or stamped drawing set, and the piers, posts, beams, bracing and rafter pairs must be checked by a local engineer. They will size them for your snow, wind and seismic loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e## More Building Plans From KRMPLANS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse the KRMPLANS shop for more A-frame cabin plans and other DIY building plans.
