The Classic Gambrel Barn with 6' Sidewalls brings a genuine New England barn look to the backyard, handcrafted in the USA by Amish woodworkers. Six-foot sidewalls add extra headroom, and the panelized construction keeps the build fast and forgiving — wall sections arrive pre-assembled at the factory, primed, and ready for paint.

Because the walls ship as finished panels rather than loose studs, this is one of the quicker Little Cottage Co. barns to raise — most builders have the shell standing in a weekend with two people and basic hand tools. Shingles, drip edge, and paint are purchased separately, and the floor is an optional add-on rather than a standard inclusion. Choose your size at checkout, from a compact 8'x8' tool shed to a full 12'x24' workshop-sized barn.
