Canted Purlin barn 35’ X 50’
We have a new barn available. The Canted Purlin barn. It is very beefy 35’ x 50’, 3 bay, 4 bent, barn with 12”x 12” main posts and 10”x 12” tie beams and rafter plates. Is also has approx. 16’ high side walls which is plenty for 2nd floor development. With a reasonably steep 7.5/12 pitch roof, hefty canted purlin system, and pole rafters, it will make for a very expansive and stunning open cathedral ceiling great room. All the main timbers are hand hewn white pine which happens to be my favorite of all species. 12” X 12” main timbers are also very impressive in a timber frame like this and help engineers relax some when they see this size.
It is a 3 bay barn with the with the middle drive in bay being 14’ between the two main posts and the other two outer bays (originally for hay storage) are both 18’ including the two posts. Either end bay are a great size for second floor lofts or bedrooms. The main 10” X 12” tie beams are 12’ high and make a great balcony railing for a first floor height of 9’ If you would like to do a catwalk from loft to loft you can do an elevated one that goes over the tie beams and gives a great view of the barn great room and open stairs below. Lots of options here for some stunning open barn room plans. We also have spare swing beam if you wanted to add one to this barn. I added one to my own barn home I like them so much.
We will have more photos and drawings coming soon so write if you are interested in this one and we can send you the new information before it gets on our web site. This is what I would consider another superior barn frame for home or other re-purposed use. They are getting hard and harder to find and going faster once up on our web site. Be happy to discuss it with you.
