The Barrett I

Saltbox Carriage Houses:
The Barrett I

When Country Carpenters first stepped into the kit business, our first ever model built and sold was The Barrett I. Designed by founder Roger Barrett Sr., this timeless 8-Pitch Saltbox Carriage House started it all and helped launch a local barn craze; customers simply couldn’t get enough. The unlimited versatility of the saltbox series has made this barn one of our most popular models.

Homeowners and business owners alike use The Barrett I for:

• Garage or Carriage House: Protect vehicles, ATVs, and farm equipment.
• Workshop or Studio: Create a dedicated space for woodworking, hobbies, or small businesses.
• Livestock Shelter: House horses, goats, or other animals in a sturdy, well-ventilated structure.
