Throughout Europe you will find barns and buildings using this type of framing that have been around for generations. America is no exception. Take a short drive in the country and your bound to find more than one old timber frame barn.
You will be rewarded with a higher net worth because you have built a barn with real value.
Appraisers are impressed by true quality. They will give more value to a well built post and beam barn than they will to a cheap pole barn. Your barn or barn home will be a space you can really live in. You will know that….
You didn’t compromise.
You got exactly what you wanted.
You didn’t settle for a cookie cutter barn.
Your horses and livestock will thank you for a healthy barn.
Happy horses make happy owners!
No rotten wood for you. You have chosen a barn design that doesn’t allow any wood to touch the ground.
No worries about the weather. Your barn is built with heavy steel plates holding the posts and beams together. Your barn is there to stay.
Imagine all the things you can do with that huge cathedral ceiling and all that loft space.
You have peace of mind knowing that every piece of material in your barn was made in the USA.
Every beam and post was cut right here in the good ole’ USA.
Every steel plate was made by a small US company who pays a fair wage. Not in some overseas sweat shop by some poor overworked, underpaid, and under appreciated worker.
When you are all done you will have a great traditional barn. From a company with traditional values.
