Restoring A Newer Barn


The newer five stall large horse barn here was built around 1980 with nice jalousie windows, large sliding doors, heavy wood and iron bar stalls; and T1-11 exterior siding. We are now staining all of the rough exterior 1" X 3" trim "White Dove" by Benjamin Moore and finished trim will be painted a low-luster exterior oil base "White Dove" paint. The siding is acrylic stained Arborcoat "Redwood Cedar" by Benjamin Moore and the tractor barn in front of it will be stained all "White Dove".
Initial photos are early re-roofing shots which clearly show the interior. Below is a current exterior shot. 


The front of the barn has some new fascia boards and paint after power washing, a new glass tack room door installed, and a vintage French farmhouse light next to it (bottom light in photo).

This barn has served as a storage and workplace while restoring the main house here. The new roof installation was our first project after purchasing the farm since it was raining into the tack room and interior some. Clear toofing panels along the ridge cap conserve the need for lights.
