Shaded alcoves on three sides provide respite from the sun’s rays, creating cool retreats for both equines and equestrians. Inside, the barn’s functional layout combines spacious stalls, grooming areas, and a hay loft, all infused with the scent of aged wood and the soft rustle of straw.

Features of this barn:

Spaciousness and Scale: The barn boasts impressive dimensions, stretching out over 64 by 80 feet of sprawling space. This generous footprint provides ample room for not only housing horses but also for storing equipment, hosting events, or pursuing hobbies and interests.

Handcrafted Wooden Sliding Barn Doors: The entrance to the barn is graced by a pair of magnificent handmade wooden sliding barn doors, crafted from the finest timber with meticulous attention to detail. Each door bears the unique imprint of the artisan’s hand, adding a touch of rustic elegance to the structure and setting the tone for the craftsmanship within.

Open lean-tos on three sides: Surrounding the barn on three sides are shaded areas, created open lean-tos. These shaded alcoves provide refuge from the sun’s rays, offering cool and comfortable spots for horses and people alike to relax and unwind on hot summer days.

Natural Ventilation: The design of the barn takes advantage of natural ventilation, with strategically placed windows and vents that allow fresh air to circulate freely throughout the space. This not only creates a healthier environment for the horses but also helps to regulate temperature and minimize the need for artificial heating and cooling.

Sustainable Materials and Practices: From the timber frame construction to the handmade doors and shaded areas, sustainability is at the forefront of every aspect of the barn’s design and construction. Locally sourced materials, eco-friendly finishes, and energy-efficient features ensure that the barn is not only beautiful but also environmentally responsible.

Long-Term Value: While the initial investment may be higher than other building methods, the long-term value of a timber frame barn is undeniable. Its durability, versatility, and timeless appeal ensure that it will remain a valuable asset to your property for generations to come.

Community Hub: Beyond its function as a home for horses, the barn serves as a gathering place for the community, hosting events, workshops, and gatherings that celebrate the equestrian lifestyle and foster connections between people and horses. Its welcoming atmosphere and timeless charm make it a beloved landmark and a source of pride for all who visit.

Timeless Beauty: A timber frame barn exudes a classic, rustic charm that transcends trends and fads. Its sturdy wooden beams and handcrafted details will stand the test of time, becoming more beautiful with age and creating a lasting legacy for generations to come

Sense of Pride and Accomplishment: Owning a timber frame barn is a source of pride and accomplishment. It’s a tangible symbol of your commitment to quality, beauty, and sustainability, and a place where you can create cherished memories with family, friends, and beloved animals.

Designed for Local Lumber & DIY Construction

These post and beam barn plans are specifically designed to utilize full-size rough cut lumber from your local sawmill or even timber from your own property. Unlike conventional plans that require expensive, standardized materials, these designs:

• Work with non-standard lumber dimensions
• Accommodate locally sourced timber species
• Feature simple joinery using modern timber framing screws and steel plates
• Require only basic tools: skill saw, drill, auger bit, and wrench

If you can cut simple angles with a skill saw, drill holes with an auger bit, and twist a wrench, you can build your own post and beam barn with these plans.

Print As Many Copies As You Need

Your digital plans can be printed as many times as necessary. Print a set for yourself, your builder, your building inspector, and whoever else needs a copy – no additional fees or restrictions.

Traditional Design Meets Modern Engineering

These barn plans blend the timeless beauty of traditional barn architecture with modern structural engineering. You get the classic look of barns built centuries ago, with the strength and reliability of contemporary construction methods.

Why Post and Beam Construction?

Post and beam barns are FAR superior to conventional pole barns in every way:

• Stronger structure with heavy timber framework
• More usable space with full lofts that pole barns can’t offer
• Flexible layout – no load-bearing walls to work around
• Timeless beauty that increases property value
• Built to last – timber frame buildings have been in use for over 1,000 years!
