Kits are a great way of building in the country. All of the lumber is shipped to your site, pre-cut and marked for easy assembly. Because there’s little wasted wood and because the buildings are designed to go together easily, you can usually have a top quality building at a reasonable price. Look at the Country Building Directory, on our sidebar, for cabin, shed and barn kit builders.
Carriage House Style Barn Kit by Country Carpenters
The building at left and below is the 22′ deep Carriage House by Country Carpenters. It’s a post-and-beam kit that’s as good looking inside as it is outside. The Salt-Box style roof is available in either the 10/12 pitch shown or a shallower 8/12 pitch. It’s also available with from one to five parking bays. The interior is clear-span. There are no interior posts to get in the way of you and your vehicles. The big cupola is one of many options offered.
The Carriage House is just one of dozens of beautiful post-and-beam designs available from Country Carpenters. They’ll build their barns, sheds, stables and carriage houses in central New England. Anywhere else in the continental U.S., they’ll ship a pre-cut kit, with step-by-step instructions on how you or your builder can put them together. You can download their complete catalog from their web site.

Better yet, if you’re ever near Hartford, Connecticut, stop by their workshop in the village of Hebron. They have a variety of models on display in a pretty country setting, so you’ll get a good idea of how one might look on your property.
