Handcrafted Homestead Series 16'W x 24'D XL Barn Kit with Gambrel Roof, Full 2nd Floor Loft, Stairs, and Transom Doors (HHOMTD24)

Built for Big Ambitions. Crafted for Complete Flexibility.

Discover your next-generation backyard barn with the Handcrafted Homestead 16x24 XL Wood Garage and Storage Barn Kit. Designed for serious DIY builders and homeowners who value both craftsmanship and creativity, this expansive two-story structure blends timeless barn architecture with modern construction quality and endless customization potential.

Part of the Handcrafted Homestead XL Series Transom Doors Edition, this all pre-cut wood barn kit includes a full second-floor loft, enclosed staircase, and wide swing-open transom doors. Its classic gambrel roof maximizes upper-level headroom while adding a distinctive, traditional look that never goes out of style. Whether you plan to use it as a garage, hobby workshop, cabin retreat, or creative studio, this structure gives you the freedom to design it your way.

Premium Home-Grade Construction

The Handcrafted Homestead 16x24 is built to the same standards as a residential home using 2x4 wall studs spaced 16 inches on center and a 2x6 truss system for exceptional strength and stability. Unlike pole barns or prefab sheds, this kit offers solid wall framing engineered for lasting durability and superior performance.

With its generous 8 foot 1 inch sidewalls, the first floor provides ample space for vehicles, tools, and large equipment, while the full second-floor loft-with a 7 foot 1 inch peak height-offers endless possibilities for storage, a home office, studio, or even a finished guest space. The open first-floor design keeps the layout flexible and unobstructed, except for the staircase positioned in the corner of your choice.

Constructed with Best Barns SecureTruss technology, TimberPrestige imported premium Eurowood, and precision pre-cut materials, this shed kit is built for durability and straightforward assembly. Designed for confident DIYers, it offers a cost-effective build experience without sacrificing quality or performance.

The LP SmartSide panels come factory-primed and ready for paint, offering long-term protection against rot, decay, and pests. Plus, with flexible door and window placement, you have total control over how your barn looks and functions. (previously sold as the Virginia shed kit, this is the same shed reworked for better quality and marketing.)
