22×50 Gable Barn Plans
with 12′ Shed Roof Lean to

This 22×50 gable barn plan has a 12′ shed roof lean to on one eve side.
This barn is perfectly customizable for your needs. Need a starter barn with plans to add on later? Eliminate the lean-to and only build the center portion. A lean-to can be added on later. Need longer or shorter? Add or subtract length as needed.
Use the lean-to as a shelter for goats, cows, sheep, pigs, or horses. Leave the lean-to open for the perfect covered outdoor kitchen or grilling area.
Building a barn home or barndominum? This gable barn plan can be built as long or short as needed. Leave the lean-to open as a covered porch, the perfect place for a couple of rocking chairs or a swing.
Want to use it as a garage? Use the lean-to to store your mower!
