December 2008 Barn Of The Month

This month's featured barn is our Country Workshop.  This 2-story layout provides great versatility to the homeowner.  Depending on your needs, our standard 22' x 24' model can accommodate two cars below while still allowing enough room for storage shelves.  The upstairs offers no posting and with the standard 4' knee wall has useable space on the entire footprint with 5'-6" of headroom as close as 22" from the eave walls.
