As you move back into the structure the span of the truss decreases and the roof slopes down. So, because of the curve each truss is similar in appearance but unique. I just wanted to share something unique that will be going through the shop. As always, visit Vermont Timber Works.

Cattle barns, party barns, wedding barns, and even houses or commercial buildings. Made to look like barns. When choosing a barn manufacturer there are a lot of things to consider. Does the manufacturer cut custom barns or only offer kits? Can you make changes to the barn design or do you only get the styles they choose? Is the barn engineered.
