About The Gambrel Barn Plans

Our 30×30 Gambrel Barn Plans are a classic barn design, The Gambrel roof came into prominence on farms after the civil war. Some folks refer to this as a hip roof or broken roof barn style whatever you call it it is recognized everywhere as a classic barn design.

This barn design includes a 10′ wide center aisle and two 10′ wide outside aisles. In this configuration you have many options available to you. The most obvious would be to use the 10×10 areas between posts in the outside aisles for medium size horse stalls. Then you will end up with a total of 6 10×10 stalls, three on each side of the center aisle.

Benefits of a Gambrel Barn

With a full loft you can enjoy a total of 900 square feet of space above that regular pole barn designs just don’t offer. Gambrel Barn plans also allow more ceing height in the loft. Use it to store hay, or an out of the weather place to hide out after chores. Sometimes you just want to get away from everything, shut off that cell phone and lay back in the hay. Doesn’t that sound relaxing? The sweet smell of the hay and the sound of the gentle blowing of the horses interrupted by the cackling of that Rhode island red hen announcing to the world the arrival of a freshly lain egg.
