We did a barn frame for great repeat clients in Bethel. The 20×30 barn will be used as an antique shop, and we designed a large front porch on which to display antiques. The barn also has a walk-out basement for storage, and sheds along both eave walls under which to park equipment. The middle bent of the barn features a queen-post truss, allowing the full 20×30 footprint to be wide open without any interior posts. We had fun with the front porch frame, scribing in book-matched live-edge cherry timbers to create an arch-braced truss. We also designed and built a cupola for the barn.
