Distinctive Design...
every barn plan is proportioned to look right. We pay careful attention to details like strap hinges and a transom window over the doors. To allow for maximum use of inside space, our roof trusses are designed to accommodate the addition of a loft for extra storage.
Creative Uses...
for our barns are not limited to storage. Many of our customers have a specific use in mind-- pool cabana, play house, practice room, workshop, garden shed, cabin-in-the-woods or studio.

Our plan suggest the use of pressure treated lumber for floor joists; three-quarter inch plywood is always used for flooring.
Architectural style shingles, (which look like wood shingles), are used for roofing and are available in a number of colors.
The natural beauty of cedar wood is used in many of of our barns. Cedar's resistance to insects as well as the elements makes it the first choice for using plans from Better Barns Hardware and Plans.
