The Barn Yard Blog

This customer turned the second floor loft of their 26' x 30' Plymouth Carriage Barn into the “Hilltop Motel” guest quarters. This post & beam barn, set in the rural Vermont countryside, is surrounded by fall foliage. Features such as a timber frame eyebrow roof, open lean-to overhang with hip roof, transom dormer, and copper top cupola enhance this barn’s appearance. The 1x10 pine shiplap siding, along with some of the timbers in the eyebrow roof & open lean-to, have been painted beige, contrasting with the darker shingles and warm toned overhead doors. Andersen 100 Series windows throughout the barn fill the post & beam interior with natural light. Read on for a photo tour of this timber frame barn.

The Teton Timber Frame Pavilion, featuring king post trusses with arched bottom chords, is a great place to relax and take in the outdoors. Larger timber frame pavilions are great for commercial and municipal uses, like this one at a camp in Northeast Connecticut. Authentic mortise & tenon joinery with hardwood oak pegs, large timbers, and scrolled rafter tails are some of the intricate details that campers & staff appreciate about the Teton Pavilion. The 10-12 roof pitch and 8'6" post height leave plenty of space underneath for camp events & gatherings. 

Authentic post & beam construction, high-end design, and attention to detail come together to create the ultimate poolside retreat in this 20’ x 32’ Montauk Pool House in Rhode Island. A bright exterior, with white siding and a metal roof, highlights the simplicity and elegance of the backyard oasis. Inside, the intricate design of the timber frame pool house is on display, with a clear span parallel chord timber truss design. Grab a drink at the “Ocean Club” bar, and relax & unwind in the central seating area.
