This Gambrel timber frame barn kit blends classic barn style with modern functionality, making it a favorite for those who appreciate both beauty and practicality. With its 36×48-foot footprint, this model provides ample room for vehicles, equipment, or creative use of space. This model is shown with a 36×36 loft—about 75% of the floor area—leaving a striking 36×12 cathedral area that showcases the open expanse of timber framing and floods the interior with natural light.

The gambrel roof design offers the best of both worlds: generous headroom above and timeless curb appeal below. Whether used as a working barn, multi-purpose workshop, or inviting retreat, the Gambrel delivers a perfect balance of space, character, and craftsmanship—built to serve for generations with unmistakable Harvest Moon Timber Frame quality.

Quoted in full dimension rough sawn hemlock timbers.
