POST & BEAM BARNS

We shipped a 36' x 36' Lenox Carriage Barn Kit to the coast of California. We have a great building partner in this area—Bay Area Custom Homes—who used their local expertise to raise the timber frame & finish the structure. The result: a unique post & beam barn home, combining the aesthetics of both the country and the coast. This barn home is the customer’s dream, realized. Let’s take a tour. 

This 69' x 56' Preakness Saratoga Barn was raised in rural Montana, surrounded by the Gallatin Mountains. The Preakness Saratoga Barn has two lean-tos; one on either side. This customer elected to have a partially open section of the right lean-to, creating a space to shelter equipment. Warm wood siding and dark windows fit the country landscape. Two transom dormers let light in to the barn’s loft. And, a cow catcher’s peak adds extra detail to this rustic barn. 

Barns have a history of many different uses, from housing livestock, to sheltering tractors & farm equipment, to a space for cars, additional living space, or an event area. This newly built post & beam barn reflects the same artistry & craftsmanship of historical barns. A customized Belmont Saratoga Barn model, it’s used as a working barn, with space for equipment, workshop, and a center aisle loft stretching the length of the barn.

Post & beam construction is a long-established craft that reflects in each of our builds. By combining classic timber framing techniques and modern technology, we are able to create barns that are exceptionally strong, precise, and full of character—structures that look like they’ve been part of the landscape for generations. Such is the case with this 34' x 34' Lenox Carriage Barn in central Vermont. The homeowner is continually told that it looks as if it has always been there, even though the barn was raised in late 2023. From the vivid red paint to its iconic Carriage Barn silhouette, this barn is as classic as it gets. 

From marveling at the colors of fall to sipping a cup of hot chocolate in the winter after snowmobiling, this 42' x 45' Lenox Carriage Barn is the perfect space for enjoying the seasons in northern Vermont. On the first floor, the customer organizes outdoor vehicles, gear, and equipment, and the upstairs living space is a great home away from home for both friends & family.

With a post & beam barn kit, you can create your own unique space through customization. This 42' x 42' Belmont Saratoga Barn is a great example. We worked with the customer to design his ideal barn, and sent it out to his location as a kit. From there, he worked with his crew to raise the frame independently, and sourced many exterior components himself. The standing seam metal roof and barn red board & batten siding, supplied by others, enhances the natural color of the timber accents, & wooden doors that we provided with the kit. This barn has a 12' x 48' open timber frame lean-to, as well as two timber frame eyebrow roofs above the windows on the gable side. Sleek black windows provided by others let light into the barn, including in both of the 12' functional transom dormers. 

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.

There is something truly special about a red Carriage Barn in New England. Between the detailed craftsmanship & iconic silhouette of the post & beam Carriage Barn, to the striking color of the barn’s pine siding against nature’s blues and greens, the barn is a sight to behold. This is a 54' x 48' Hamilton Carriage Barn, with two enclosed lean-tos. Three overhead doors, plus the loft door on the second floor, have all been painted red to match the barn’s siding. A Spanish cedar entry door, with a timber frame eyebrow roof overhead, leads the way inside to an incredible interior. Intricate design and joinery are found throughout the inside of the barn, currently used to keep cars, bikes, lawn equipment, and more.
