What is most enjoyable about building this Craftsman Style Shed is the ability to create a versatile and aesthetically pleasing space that meets the needs of our high-end customer and local authorities—it had to be equestrian ready.
The combination of our classic Craftsman design along with bale doors and windows created the perfect space for the customer’s barn/workshop.
Officially called a Craftsman Barn with Dormers, the structure has a 12 by 20 Aisle Section and an 8 by 10 Tack Room.
MATERIALS/TOOLS USED
- Exterior Siding: CDX Plywood and Hardie Lap Siding.
- Interior Siding: Natural T&G Pine.
- Roof: Architectural Black composite roofing.
- Doors: One 4 by 7 Dutch “Bale” Door, one 8 by 7 Garage Door with Shaker Panels and a glass section, and one Single Outswing 1/2 Lite Fiberglass Door with grids.
- Windows: Two 4 by 4 Bale Windows, two 2 by 2 Picture Windows in Dormers, and one 2 by 4 Single Hung Window (Tack Section).
- Makita power tools (primarily).
PLANS, CUSTOMER RESPONSE
After settling on the barn design, the most challenging part of the build was obtaining the necessary permits for this job in the jurisdiction.
We overcame this challenge by partnering with local architects and engineers to develop our official plan documents.
Customers appreciate the Craftsman Style Shed because of its robust construction, attractive design, and versatility.
