Traditional Wood Bar�s

Sand Creek Post & Beam began in 2004 after our own move to the country. The desire to share a connection to our heritage recalling a simpler time of hard working people and wide open spaces guided our vision. The traditional barn, often called the “cathedral of the prairie,” evokes that connection and so much more. It is with great pride that we present you our catalog featuring stunning wood post and beam kit barns.

Perfect for so many things from housing livestock to people, and everything in between, it is our hope that you allow us to create your very own dream barn. We are confident it will provide you with years of value and joy for generations to come.

With warmest regards,Len Dickinson & Jule GoellerFounders of Sand Creek Post & Beam

Traditional Bar�sTraditional Bar�sThe traditional barn, originally a place to house livestock and grain, was considered the most important structure on any homestead. Over time the barn became a reflection of a family’s wealth and status. Known as the “Cathedrals of the Prairies” the barn became a beacon for all those fortunate to pass by the awe-inspiring sight.

Sand Creek Post & Beam’s focus is on quality, historic authenticity, preserving the environment and customer satisfaction. Each barn is the embodiment of America’s rich history, tradition and heritage using the same styles our forefathers erected, the same rich timbers and the same centuries old timber framing construction techniques handed down by generations.

Once home for cattle, hogs, draft horses and harvested crops, today’s barn is just as likely to be home to alpacas, goats, or horses along with hay and feed. A natural insulator, wood barns provide the perfect shelter for your livestock and pets. With natural air flow and no harsh chemicals to taint the wood, our barns provide the warm, safe and healthy home your animals deserve.

“When we made the decision to build a barn on our property, I spent 6 months doing my research. I checked into every barn manufacturer out there - including some local post and beam builders. I talked to each company about everything from the plans they provide to the materials they use. In the end, I found that Sand Creek Post & Beam would provide us with the best structure dollar for dollar. What I like best is they use traditional lumber - posts and planks in their designs to give the barn an authentic look and feel that will outlast the other companies. Everyone at Sand Creek was very helpful every step along the way and they delivered what they promised.”

Equipment StorageEquipment StorageSand Creek Post & Beam barns provide a beautiful, rustic home for your most treasured recreational equipment and vehicles. Whether you need shelter for your tractors and garden equipment, ATV, boats, trailers, golf carts or even your RV, our custom design capabilities can easily provide the exact space you need.

While conventional stick-built structures depend on load-bearing walls to support the roof, post and beam construction accomplishes the same task with a few strategically placed timbers. The result is the perfect custom-designed space for anything important enough to protect from the elements, with an interior and exterior as appealing as it is functional.

“The Sand Creek team was clear, responsive and always helpful. We sought to modify the original design in several fundamental respects, and they did so with speed, clarity and enthusiasm. When entering the construction phase, the Sand Creek technical team were there to answer “how to” questions on a real-time basis. We constructed this as a family project, with our four boys serving as the construction crew. The construction guide is a simple blueprint. The Sand Creek staff was there to answer all the questions routinely. This support was vital. Finally, the product is a joy to behold. Several of my boys now carry pictures of “their” barn proudly in their wallets: there is no better testimonial to the endeavor.”

Garages/Lost LivingGarages/Lost LivingSand Creek Post & Beam barns are a functional, desirable option as your garage or workshop. With timber frame construction, interior space may be left open or divided in almost any way imaginable, providing you with unlimited design options and versatility.

Based on historic designs, Sand Creek buildings blend in seamlessly with the countryside and add lasting value to your property. Particularly attractive next to an existing farm home, timber frame home or a Sand Creek Post & Beam barn home, our structures provide a warm and dry shelter for your cars and trucks. Whether you choose a traditional carriage house look or another barn style, we can custom design any style to fit your needs.

Add a loft for extra storage or a living space. You can also create a separate workshop by simply adding a lean-to. As an alternative, use the main structure as a workshop and add a lean-to for the garage. The choices are yours. The structure is always authentic Sand Creek Post & Beam.

“Our dream was to build a barn/loft at our acreage in up state New York. My husband would stand and look at the pad and think and think. Then he would spend hours looking at other barns for inspiration. When he heard about Sand Creek, he immediately sent for a catalog and the dream soon became a reality. With custom features and his own ideas we have the barn of our dreams. The tenant loft upstairs is truly a thing of beauty with vista views from the windows in every direction. The exposed beams and custom details make the loft exceptionally beautiful. Thank you to all of you at Sand Creek who helped make our dream a reality!”

Homes & CabinsHomes & CabinsOur structures are produced using full-dimension timbers. Larger and stronger than conventional lumber yard wood, these materials provide a frame that is versatile, functional and built to last. The result is a spacious timber frame structure with soaring ceilings and massive beams, exposed for all to admire. The rustic beauty of the wood frame is both unique and timeless in its appeal. It’s no wonder that so many or our customers use these amazing buildings as living spaces.

Sand Creek Post & Beam is the leading barn manufacturer in our nation, and for good reason. Our barns satisfy the need everyone has to own a piece of history and the pleasure of knowing they helped to create it. Each Sand Creek Post & Beam barn combines traditional massive post and beam construction with modern technology allowing for the perfect mix of strength and design. Rustic, yet elegant, the appeal of our barns never fails to meet or exceed expectations. Building on the rich tradition of the timber frame barns of our heritage and the kit barn legacy of our past, we offer many advantages our customers love that make us unique:

Based on authentic, historic barn designs, we offer the most popular standard sizes and styles for our structures. However, we do not restrict our customers and force them to choose a “cookie cutter” barn from a list. Instead, we allow each customer to choose the size and style they really want from which we custom design their dream barn.

Our barns are designed with an emphasis on big wood. Massive timbers form the load-bearing frame of these deceptively simple and sturdy structures. Because the walls are not load bearing, timber frame (post and beam) construction provides the ultimate in flexibility of design. With our own CAD department, we provide custom-design services that typically only an architect can provide to create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece for each customer. In addition, these designs can be engineered to meet your local building code specifications.

Sand Creek Post & Beam uses full dimension (6”x6” is a full 6”x6”), rough cut wood responsibly harvested from areas closest to our facilities (Ponderosa Pine, Eastern Red Cedar and Southern Yellow Pine). While these indigenous wood species are most economical, you may choose other species if desired as all our wood is custom cut for each customer. Full dimension, rough cut wood is what was commonly used in historic old barns and gave them so much character. We avoid using smaller lumber yard dimensional lumber, plywood or OSB which can detract from the authenticity, strength and aesthetics of the structure. The result is a beautiful rich look not only on the outside, but especially the inside.

The Sand Creek Post & Beam system is the perfect blend of customization with pre-manufacturing. We take each customer’s one-of-a-kind custom barn design and pre-build the complete frame as well as handcraft each window, door and cupola in our plant facilities. Once completed, the frame is disassembled and everything is packaged, labeled and sent to your property providing the convenience, quality control, ease of construction and economies of a pre-manufactured structure (just like the barn kit companies of 100 years ago). To complete the Sand Creek Post & Beam system select the customized construction services that are right for you. The result will be a traditional wood post and beam barn that will enhance your property and provide years of enjoyment for generations to come. The barn you really wanted, the way you envisioned it, the quality you expected - at the best value available – the Sand Creek Post & Beam system.

Sand Creek Post & Beam has a deep concern for the environment and protection of the land. Not only do we want our barns to last for generations, we want to help ensure healthy forests and a clean environment as part of our lasting legacy. To that end, we promote new growth and healthy forests, we do not use toxic chemicals to treat our wood, and we work with the National Arbor Day Foundation to assist in this important endeavor.

Like the cathedrals and barns of days gone by, our barns are built using traditional timber frame construction. Today’s technology has allowed us to offer ¼” custom-designed steel joinery plates to make each joint even more secure. Because the timbers (posts and beams) forming the frame of the building carry the weight of the structure, interior space can be left open or divided in almost any way imaginable. Timber frame construction offers superior strength with the warmth and beauty of exposed wood.

While our customers are always free to find their own builder (or build it themselves), we offer customized construction services. From a construction guide and answering questions by phone, to on-site consulting, to complete turn-key construction services, each customer may choose how they want to complete their structure.

All our barns are pre-manufactured as a kit and delivered to your job site, providing you with superior quality control, building efficiency, and savings. To ensure your barn is erected properly, we recommend that you utilize the expertise of our Construction Services department.

As with all our products, Construction Services can be customized to fit your needs. From a small garden shed to a large commercial project, we are committed to providing whatever level of service you choose. Our team has complete knowledge of our products and will provide you with expert advice and, if you choose, professional on-site construction management.

For those who want their barn erected by the experts, we will provide an experienced crew to erect the entire post-and-beam structure. We have professional crews located across the country that specialize in building our barns and barn homes. The crew arrives with your new barn and unloads the materials. They begin construction immediately and stay on the job until it is complete.

Our barn kits can be erected by yourself and a small crew, or with the help of a local contractor. If you choose this option, Sand Creek Post & Beam can provide experienced staff on-site for a few days to get you started. Our customers who have some building experience find this option to be very helpful and cost efficient. This option also works well if your local contractor would like to try his hand at building a barn.

All Sand Creek Post & Beam barn kits come with complete plans, including a detailed construction guide, to help you through the building process. In addition, we also provide construction advice and will answer any questions over the phone – any time - no charge to you.

We can also provide project management for your entire project, from pouring the concrete foundation to interior finish. With this level of service we will take care of the day-to-day management of your project including hiring any sub contractors that would be used to install roofing, electrical, or plumbing. Your project manager will take care of all the details and make sure the structure is completed to your satisfaction.
