A great set of sketch-up drawings for a 14×14 A-frame cabin. It falls under 200 square feet, so is technically a shed in most code books (meaning you can build it without a permit).

I have been up in Canada for the winter, so have been seeing a lot of A-frame designs. I’m in love with the simplicity of the design. it is strong enough to withstand lots of snow fall, yet it doesn’t use much material.
