Special Note: We have been selling barn frames here this last year faster than we can find them and get them on our website. So because none are listed for sale, that does not mean we do not have some becoming available. So if you are looking for a special barn frame, please contact us and tell us roughly what size barn you are looking for and what you have in mind for your re-purposed use. We will do our best to find it for you. Thanks Dale.

We leave the sold barns in and showing so you can see the very high quality, variety and highest possible standards we use in picking out our barn frames for sale.

Buyers of our barn frames receive a 20% discount on all our antique flooring, siding and other materials for the barn!!!

 

Pricing of our barn frames - pricing of frames is more complicated than most folks realize. Like buying a used car, there are many hidden issues that determine the real value of what you purchased. Read more...

The purlin and rafter plates are  one piece and 40' long.  The side walls are very high -- 17' plus which  gives plenty of room for a second floor.

It  has a complete 2nd floor joist system with floor joist  timbers mortised into center beams (tie beams) . You could leave 1 or 2  bays open to roof (cathedral ceiling) and still have room for a large  open loft or other private rooms.

HUMBER RIVER BARN

SOLD!

30'x 46'2"

White Pine and Hemlock

30'x 46'2" footprint.

16' 6" side walls without plinth blocks. Excellent height even without plinth blocks. 

Main posts 10"x12" +/-. 

.Tie Beams 10"x 11" to 10" x 12". Also great size. Double tie beams on  each bent--very nice feature. One could be replaced with a Swing beam.

Rafter plates 10"x 11" one piece.

Girts  5"x 7"

Braces and studs  3"x 4"

Rafters  3"x 5" @ 3' centers.

Barn is in good condition and has a very nice balanced 3 bay layout

With 1' plinth block you could have an 9' 6" 1st floor height and still  have an 8' second floor for windows etc. on the side walls.  This would  give you plenty of height for the second floor lofts. We included very  basic  potential conceptual floor plan layout to show you an example of what could be done with this frame.

 The barn is also very straight and true as you can see from the photos of  the whole frame. The studs are also a nice feature and wide enough to  put windows between them. I always think  they add some great detail  and charm to the frame and many frames don't have them.

We could also add a 18"  to 20"  +/- swing beam with arches to this frame. See drawing Swing beam option

This is an excellent barn frame for conversion purposes.
