The customer wanted a brew shed on a mountain lot above Fernan Lake in Coeur d'Alene. The site sits on a freshly cut pad with steep banks and tall timber on every side. A lofted barn gave plenty of working room plus storage overhead.
We built a 12x16 lofted barn on site over two days. It sits on skids on a gravel pad, with an insulated floor to keep the space more comfortable. Primed T1-11 siding wraps the walls. A metal roof covers the barn-style roofline and sheds snow well through North Idaho winters.
Double doors with windows open wide for equipment and supplies. The loft adds overhead storage without adding to the footprint. Side windows bring in daylight, and gable vents keep air moving through the building.
The finished barn sits ready for brewing on a site that is not easy to reach. It gives the customer a tall, weather-tight building built right where it needs to be.

Yes. We build on site, so the building does not need to be hauled up a narrow road in one piece. Materials come in and the barn goes up right on the prepared pad. Tight and hard-to-reach sites are a big part of what we do.
A loft adds overhead storage without making the footprint bigger. It is a good place for supplies and things you do not need every day. That keeps the main floor open for brewing equipment.
Skids on a gravel pad give the building a solid, well-drained base. The gravel keeps water from pooling under the floor. An insulated floor helps the space stay more comfortable in cold weather.
A metal roof sheds snow and rain well and needs little upkeep. It holds up through heavy North Idaho winters. It also suits the barn-style roofline.
Gable vents let air move through the building. That helps keep moisture down, which matters in a brew shed. It also keeps the loft from getting too hot in summer.
