1. How long does it take to build a Best Barn?
   Assembly time will vary depending on the skill and speed of the homeowner, plus the amount of help available. Some folks like to stretch the assembly over several days and build the components in stages, painting parts as they are built. Most Best Barns are built and finished in two days.

1. What siding comes with my Best Barn?
   The siding and shingles are supplied by the retailer where you buy the Best Barns USA™ kit. You choose the siding material and color of the shingles. You can use wood vertical groove siding, commonly referred to as Texture 1-11 siding. Or, you can use a wafer board siding and apply vinyl siding over top. Always apply siding according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

1. How much money will I save by building my own storage barn?
   This varies according to the skilled labor in your area. In many parts of the US, skilled laborers charge between $650.00 and $750.00 to assemble a 12’ by 12’ storage barn kit, painting not included.

2. Why don’t you list building prices for your models?
   The retailer supplies your bulk items such as exterior siding, roof sheathing, shingles, and wall plate material. The price you pay for your barn includes these materials plus the Best Barns component kit. The price varies because of the different types of siding. Also, lumber prices vary from region to region. The wood floor material, when needed, is priced separately. Use the store locator and contact your retailer for prices.
