How to build a barn


Entries

Got the property 4 weeks ago

And it has a barn of sorts on it, but that’s not good enough. I have a lot of ideas for what I want in it, and I don’t know how they will all fit in, so need to work all of that out.

I’d like:

  • drive through for the horse trailer to park in.
  • hay storage
  • air conditioned section that will hold 2 14×14 stalls w/a removable wall and a tack room.
  • a tool room
  • room to park the equipment (lawn mower, rhino, spreader etc.)

That’s a tall order for one barn. I’d also like to do it for under $5,000. hahaha. OK, not really, but nice thought.

done 4 months ago

When I returned from my building course this summer I started constructing a barn using all reclaimed materials. I think the final cost of the barn was less than 400 dollars for our 14-20 1.5 story barn. THe frame was timber frame and utilized no nails in the structural components.

it took about 2 months
