March 2009 Barn Of The Month

This month's featured barn is a 26' x 36' Country Farmer.  The main features on this barn include an increased first floor height from the standard 9'-10" to 12' with an oversized door to accommodate the customers needs.  There is a full loft upstairs for standard storage and the customer opted for extra windows upstairs for added light instead of the standard Tombstone gable louvers.
