Basic Mini Barns

Basic Models are designed 6” shorter in length than our other two models, and the overhangs around the building 3” – 6”. There’s a couple reasons why we do this: 1. The Basic Model is the only model at this time that is offered in an RTA Kit (Ready To Assemble), and these few things make it easier for the Do It Yourselfer to assemble. 2. It helps keep the cost down, making it a Great utility barn.
The foundation for this model includes brick pads (refer to “What’s Included”), that are squared and leveled, then we add either 4x4 or 4x6* Pressure Treated Skids (*4x6 are used in buildings over 12’ in length), on top of that is our floor joist system which is Doug Fir 2x4’s 16” o/c, and finally placed on that is ¾” plywood (top side sanded) which completes the floor.
We use T1-11 Dura-temp Siding. We have chosen to use Dura-temp Siding because it is a plywood back siding, and unlike your home you will see the back of the siding from inside your building and plywood gives a cleaner, brighter look.
Walls are framed with Doug Fir 2x4’s 24” o/c, and are framed with a top and bottom plate using 2x4’s. Because of the way the roof is shaped on Barns we use 2x4 Doug Fir steel plated roof trusses, 24” oc.
7/16” OSB (oriented strand board) is used as sub sheeting for the roof, with a 30-year three-tab asphalt shingles.
4’ wide shed door is standard on all shed/shed like buildings. This door comes with galvanized hinges and swivel hasp.
All builds are generally done within a day, larger buildings as in garages take more than a day, but less than a week.
