February 2009 Barn Of The Month

This month we continue with our most popular style, the Country Workshop.  This version of our 2-story barn features an 8"x16" Douglas Fir Ridge Beam that emphasizes the space on the second floor.  The attached shed option helps the owner keep the clutter out of the main bays to allow plenty of space for cars and other vehicles.  This barn was also designed to attach to the existing home, with access from both levels, has 6-1/2" of R38 insulated roof panels over main part of the barn, and an upgraded window and door package.
