Simple and Traditional mixed with Modern Design
Post and beam barndominiums are becoming increasingly popular as more and more people are looking for a simple and rustic, yet stylish and modern way of living. This type of home combines the traditional style of a barn with the modern amenities of a home.
The exterior walls of a post and beam barndominium are usually constructed with metal siding and/or wood paneling and the interior walls are often finished with drywall. The roof is usually made of metal and can be designed in a variety of styles such as a gable or gambrel.
Building a post and beam barndominium requires careful planning and the expertise of a professional builder. It will require a strong foundation for the timber frame to be built on. Often metal siding or wood board and batton siding is used for the exterior walls. The interior walls are typically either drywall or wood ship lap or some combination of the two.
Living in a post and beam barndominium offers the perfect combination of rustic charm and modern convenience. The open concept floor plan allows for plenty of natural light and the tall ceilings create a sense of spaciousness.
