Douglas Fir Glulam Beams
Mill sawn, mill finished 6 x 12 timbers and 5 1/8 x 12 glulam beams supported by mill sawn finished glulam posts and peeled log posts.
Heavy duty 5/8" Douglas Fir 5-ply plywood, rough sawn finish to match cedar battens. When alternate sidings are requested, 1/2" CDX subsiding is supplied.
Dimensional framing lumber is Kiln-Dried.
Standard loft flooring is 2 x 12 joists with 3/4" T&G plywood floor decking.
Roof sheathing is 1/2" CDX Plywood.
Precut stairs are 2 x 12 horses and 4 x 12 timber treads. Handrails are 1 x 4 cedar. Grip rails are included.
Fascia and barge trim are full 1 1/4 x 8 tight knot cedar. Corner trim is 1 x 6 tight knot cedar. Battens are 1 x 3 tight knot cedar.
Uncle Howard's does not use OSB (oriented strand board) or composite beams. To prevent water damage, we do not use 2 x 6 T&G lumber as siding for our buildings unless it is covered with waterproof siding.

All Western Classics have an eave height of 11' 3.5", a net Clearance under the Loft Beams of 10', a ground floor to the loft floor distance of 11', and a loft floor to roof peak distance of 12'.

Every Uncle Howard's Barn Kit or Cabin Kit allows you the flexibility of designing your own floorplan. Interior walls can be placed wherever you like. Tell us your needs, and we'll work with you to design the 'perfect' plan for you.

Circled posts may be removed for more open space (at slight additional cost).
