Best Barns Maker's Loft Series
Premium DIY Garage & Loft Kits — 2 Models, Multiple Sizes, Fully Customizable
The Best Barns Maker's Loft Series brings together the rugged strength of a traditional barn with the flexible functionality of a garage and workshop. Whether you're storing vehicles, building a workshop, or creating a personalized creative space, the Maker's Loft delivers.
Every kit ships precision pre-cut, built with SecureTruss™ framing, TimberPrestige™ Eurowood, and LP® SmartSide® siding — primed and ready for your color. Choose your model, pick your size, then customize windows, doors, roofing, and flooring exactly to your spec.
- ✓ 2 Models: Standard (12′) and XL (16′)
- ✓ Standard: 12′×16′ or 12′×20′ — XL: 16′×20′ to 16′×32′
- ✓ SecureTruss™ & TimberPrestige™ Eurowood Construction
- ✓ LP® SmartSide® Siding — Primed & Ready for Paint
- ✓ Gambrel Roof with Loft on Both Models
Built Better from the Ground Up
SecureTruss™ & TimberPrestige™ Eurowood
Every Maker's Loft is engineered with SecureTruss™ framing and TimberPrestige™ premium Eurowood — a combination purpose-built for superior structural stability, long-term rigidity, and resistance to the forces that cause lesser garage kits to warp and fail over time.
LP® SmartSide® — Ready for Any Finish
LP® SmartSide® siding arrives primed and ready for paint, giving you a professional-grade surface that accepts any exterior color. It's engineered for impact resistance and weather durability — far superior to untreated wood panels or standard T1-11 siding.
Why the Maker's Loft Stands Apart
Precision Pre-Cut for Easy Assembly
Every component is factory-cut to exact dimensions before it ships. No measuring, no guessing, no wasted material. A two-to-three person crew can typically complete assembly in 2–3 days once the floor is set and level.
Optional FortressFloor™ Upgrade
Add the commercial-grade FortressFloor™ system for a rock-solid base: 2×4 treated joists at 12″ on-center, ¾″ plywood panels, and 4×4 treated runners — designed to handle vehicle weight and heavy equipment without flex.
Gambrel Roof with Built-In Loft
Both models feature a classic gambrel roof that maximizes overhead space. The Standard includes a split-loft with an operable loft door; the XL delivers a full second-story loft with staircase access — up to 7′1″ in height.
Fully Customizable Layout
Windows, man doors, and garage door placement are all flexible. Choose your own shingles, siding color, window style, and floor system to match your home's exterior and meet your local code requirements exactly.
Maker's Loft Series Models
Both models feature a gambrel roof and 8′1″ side wall height. Loft capacity and size options vary by model.

Are windows, shingles, and flooring included?
No — windows, shingles, and flooring are sold separately so you can design your build exactly the way you want. This gives you full control over color, style, and finish to match your home and meet your local code requirements.
Do I need a floor, and what are my options?
Yes, a floor is required. You can pour a cement slab (common for permanent garage installations) or choose the optional FortressFloor™ wooden floor system, which includes 2×4 treated joists at 12″ on-center, ¾″ plywood panels, and 4×4 treated runners — designed to handle vehicle weight and heavy equipment.
Is assembly included, or is this a DIY kit?
These are DIY kits — assembly is not included. Every component arrives precision pre-cut for accurate, straightforward assembly. You can build it yourself or hire a local contractor. Most builders complete assembly in 2–3 days with two or three people once the floor is set and level.
What tools will I need for assembly?
Recommended tools include a drill, hammer, ladder, saw, tape measure, pencil, level, and appropriate safety gear. The pre-cut kit eliminates most of the complex measuring and cutting work, but having these tools on hand ensures a smooth build.
How long does shipping take?
Orders typically ship within 5–7 days after purchase. If you need to confirm lead time before ordering, call us at 1-844-945-3625.
How is the kit delivered?
Kits arrive curbside via liftgate truck — the driver will lower the pallet to the ground at the end of your driveway. You'll need additional help or equipment to move the pallets beyond that point. Plan accordingly before your delivery date.
Do I need a building permit?
Permit requirements vary significantly by location. We strongly recommend checking with your local building department and HOA (if applicable) before purchasing. Requirements depend on structure size, intended use, and local zoning rules.
What is the difference between the Standard and XL models?
The Standard model is available in 12′ widths (12′×16′ or 12′×20′) and features a split-loft with an operable loft door for overhead storage up to 48″ in height — accessed by a ladder (not included). The XL model is available in 16′ widths (up to 16′×32′) and includes a full second-story loft with a staircase and a generous 7′1″ max loft height, making it ideal for studios, workshops, or large-scale storage. The XL's garage door opening is also slightly different: 8′×6′6″ (modifiable to 9′ wide) vs. the Standard's 8′×7′ opening.
Does the Standard model's garage door require a special track?
Yes — the Standard model's 8′×7′ garage door opening requires a low headroom track due to the gambrel roof structure. Be sure to plan for this when selecting and purchasing your garage door.
