When we wanted a barn for our children to play in and use for their farm we discovered that nothing could be found to fit our fancy online. So with the use of some pictures of old barns and basic ideas we started on our very first wood project. Our tools consisted of a sawzal a table saw and cordless set of tools. Many hours later we have this to show for it. We used lots of scrap wood and bought only the hinges, latches and one sheet of plywood so our costs are skewed from someone trying to do it with new material.
Estimated Cost
$50 and possible as high as 120 for new material
Estimated Time Investment
Week Long Project (20 Hours or More)
Finish Used
Paint and clear coat. Some of the trim is painted which requires taping to get the crisp edge.
Recommended Skill Level
