Modified 12’ x 16’ Best Barns Glenwood Workshop

Practically built itself! Started with concrete slab and raised curb to provide more interior height. Modifications included adding studs to make 16” O.C., fire blocks, reduced width to 11’ (adds 6” to eave overhangs), self flashing skylights, Werner pull down attic stairs, sectional garage door with side mount opener, 110 and 220 volt wiring, LED lighting, 8’ x 4’ XOX casement window, open out side door, wall mount barn lights, wall, ceiling, and roof insulation, 1/2” plywood interior walls, 3/8” plywood ceiling, obligatory “man cave” urinal, sink, lean-to exterior enclosure housing noisy dust collector and air compressor, through-wall air conditioner with remote, woodworking equipment with dust collection ducting, and ridge roof vent. Mostly DIY solo build (retired 73 y.o.) although I hired a roofer due to the steep slope.
I highly recommend using an air nailer for the framing, siding, roof sheeting and interior plywood. The 16’ long walls require 2 guys to raise, especially if you’re trying to line up the foundation bolts. It’s good to know you can buy matching LP siding and trim at Home Depot. I needed more to fill the wider soffits where I added screened vent intakes which bring air in to exit out the ridge vents. All in all, it was an easy build so even if you’re an old duffer like me, don’t be afraid to jump in!
