Our eBook is Finally Ready!
We have had so much great feedback and interest in our barn design, and a lot of requests for further details and materials used. So, we decided to create a new eBook that will help walk you through the building process for our cute little goat barn.
Although we have spent a lot of time gathering the details for this book, we wanted to offer it FREE to anyone who wants to see what we did to construct this barn. It is tough trying to find economical designs, especially ones that are sturdy and look good too – so we hope you find this book useful. At the very least, maybe it will give you some ideas on what to do (and not to do) when building something for your own little goats!
However, we are finding that our hay bills are getting pretty big, so we are only going to be able to offer the free eBook for a limited time. In the future, we will be charging a small amount for our publications, to help with our own farm costs. Click the link below to get your free copy SOON!
We’d love to have you on our mailing list too – so please sign up in the process. We will keep you updated as new publications are available, or if we have anything really cool to share (but we promise not to bug you too regularly)!
Hi Cindy ,
Thank you for the free plan! Do you have info on the list of tools used for this project. We have a circular saw only. Do we need to rent other type of saw etc…
So tools used… let me think (we have quite a few – I think my husband is as hooked on acquiring new tools as I am with goats and chickens).
I think that about covers it, but essentially we did use quite a variety of tools.
Around how much did it cost to build it
Hi Ashley – I didn’t include the cost for items in my list of materials (in the eBook), as it varies so much; and we did get a bunch of our materials for free (all of our siding, and much of the non-dimensional lumber) or at discounted pricing (our posts and most of our pressure treated 2″x4″ lumber was purchased as “cull” lumber). However, I would estimate we spent about $900-$1000 total for our materials for this barn as we did have to buy almost all of our dimensional lumber, roofing materials, and all hardware.
