 The Bantam Line of Small Barns

Bantam Barns are smaller buildings for your vacation lot or backyard barn. Choose a width and length then phone 360-273-7816 or e-mail sales@unclehowards.com.

By the way, buildings less than 200 sq ft don’t require a permit in many U.S. counties. If you're interested in finding out more about permitting in your area, as well as lots of other great information pertaining to barn building, Uncle Howard’s sponsors a barn builder website for each state. To find your state's website look in our General Information.

"I want to get my barn dried in by … How long will it take?"

As strange as it may sound, the only extra time available to speed up your project completion is being used up now as you read this.  The most frustration of your project will come as you try to maintain your time schedule.  Many times homeowners have already broken ground and prepared the site before choosing a design.  Because you have been unsure of who you will go with, you have been talking to suppliers, builders, and sub-contractors.  This may have gone on for months as you have tried to determine the best way to go.  In the coming days, weeks, or months, you will sign agreements and get started.  Then the waiting begins.  You will have to wait for the banker, wait for the plan design, wait for the engineer's stamp, wait for the building department, wait for the builder, wait for the inspectors, wait for the plumber, wait for the electrician, … wait, wait, wait …!  Feel the frustration?  In all fairness to your suppliers, builders, and subcontractors, they are likely trying to do a good job in a timely fashion to please you.  But their jobs are not so easy.  It is best to note their time estimates and then mentally double them.  Don't tell them you've done that, or they will take even longer.  By allowing plenty of extra time, you will avoid frustration.

To ensure a timely completion and avoid stress, START NOW!  Your supplier, builder, and subs will take the same amount of time if you start now or a month from now.  The first thing to do is choose a design and get it into permitting.  Site preparation and other tasks can be done while you wait for the permitting approval.  It is not necessary to hire an architect or buy plans.  We will provide them with our package.

How to start now!

At Uncle Howard's we don't need to know everything at sign up time.  We do need the ground floor footprint size, including shed porches, and the size of the loft footprint.  We will also need the customer homework for your project.  Once we have these, we can be off and running.  We will work out the door and window sizes and locations as we go along.  Accessories may also be determined as we go along.
