Pittenger Barn
The Pettinger in Andover New Jersey is a lovely Monitor Barn, built with our standard oak framing in shop, and delivered in two modular sections, where the rafters were tied in to the on-site built stick frame of the elevated middle section. Since the rafter on the lean-to side extends such a great length and ties in to the center framing, it makes for a stronger roof. Often, monitor barns feature elevated ceilings to let all the light from those upper windows pour down into the center aisle, along with increasing ventilation. In this instance however, the lofted portion is enclosed for hay storage and potential office space, which of course is a great use for the window light too. This Barn features a wash stall, feed and tack room, and four horse stalls. The center aisle is a poured concrete slab, and there are rubber mats fitted into each stall.
