If you are wanting a sizable structure with great presence and utility, look no further than this 40x42 monitor barn house plan! True to this style of barn, our plan has a large center aisle with shed wings on both sides, and a second level above the center aisle. We have designed this to fit on a 40x42 foundation after the addition of 5 1/2" Studs, and 5/8" furring strips behind the posts for drywall to be installed. You can enclose the entire structure, or leave one of the wings open for a comfortable porch.
