Rob Wilkes is doing a nice job building this log post and beam barn!
About a year ago I helped him design the structure and since then he has been working on it in his spare time.
He selectively harvested trees from his property in Cooper Creek, peeled and notched the logs on site and finished the post and beam structure with dimensional lumber from the local sawmill.
How it all began
The finished structure.
A big Thank You to Sarah Evans, Rob’s girlfriend, for sharing these pictures 🙂
The plans for this beautiful Barn are now available!

After payment I will email you the set of plans in PDF format that you can print on Tabloid (11″x17″) or A3 format.

It would be cool to see a barn like this in Denmark!
Talk to you soon,

what are the posts setting on?
Hi Randal, the posts sit on concrete sono tubes.
Awesome structure, was hoping you could send me the plans as well. Hoping to put one together this summer. Thanks

Hello, I was wondering if you could send me a link to purchase the plans for the post and beam barn shown above? it would be greatly appreciated.
I’ll be sending you a direct e-mail. Thanks, Hajo
Hajo,
I have recently researched hewing timber for barn building. Now that I see this structure (main whole log framework) I realize this is not only structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing (hand peeled) it requires no hand hewing.
I have mature trees to harvest for this project. I need to research more into drying timber or building with green wood.
Does your plan for this structure include details for the log connections, are they drilled and pinned, complete with finished details? I have developed an image in mind of the complete barn that Rob has built and feel confident I can do this project also.
Hi John,
The plans for the log barn on offer show the layout and dimensions for the bents, walls, roof and floor plans. Some framing details are provided by connection descriptions. It is assumed that the builder possesses fairly good carpentry skills, but the connections are very basic and mostly held together with ardox spikes.
Also the envelope is not shown in the plans but can be added quite easily by wrapping or infilling the frame with 2x framing or strawbale or cob or whatever. Some room for your own creativity!
You can see some more pictures of the barn here and here.
Hope this helps,
Hajo
