How to Build Small Barns & Outbuildings

Building your own barns and outbuildings offers many benefits, perhaps most obvious being the money you can save.  About half the cost of any building project is the labor and, by doing it yourself, you can construct your building more economically, or even put up a larger building on the same budget.

But another important benefit of building it yourself is the satisfaction that comes from improving your own landscape and surroundings.  A well constructed barn, shed or outbuilding can be a source of pride for many years -- and will also enhance the value of your property.

In How to Build Small Barns & Outbuildings, Monte Burch takes readers step by step through the fundamentals of general construction -- from information on planning and laying out a site to do-it-yourself instructions on framing, roofing, wiring, plumbing and much more.

More than 20 projects offer complete plans and instructions for how to build a wide range of structures designed for adaptability and usefulness.  Some of the projects include:

  • All-purpose barns

  • Pole Barn

  • Horse Barn

  • Milk Barn

  • Equipment or machine shed

  • Sheep or goat shelter

  • Greenhouse/woodshed

  • Garden sheds

  • Workshop

  • Home Office

  • Add-on garage

  • Two car garage

  • Guest house

  • Roadside stand

  • Chicken house

  • Insulated dog house

Written specifically for the do-it-yourself homeowner on a budget, How to Build Small Barns & Outbuildings helps take the mystery out of small-scale construction.  The no-nonsense advice and wide applicability of the projects to both backyards and homesteads makes this book a valuable addition to the homesteader's reference shelf.

Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.  1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 NIV

Though the fig tree does not blossom and there is no fruit on the vines, [though] the product of the olive fails and the fields yield no food, though the flock is cut off from the fold and there are no cattle in the stalls, Yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the [victorious] God of my salvation! [Rom 8:37.]  The Lord God is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds' feet and will make me to walk [not to stand still in terror, but to walk] and make [spiritual] progress upon my high places [of trouble, suffering, or responsibility]!  Habakkuk 3:17-19 AMP
