Texas Country Charmers is bringing back the charm of yesteryear with our line of all-wood barns and country homes. Now you can have the beauty of a classic wood barn at a price comparable to metal.

Things To Consider Before You Build:

We would like to share with you our best advice on some things to consider before you build. Proper planning on the front end of your project can give you the structure that will best meet your needs.
We specialize in working with folks who are building their first barn,
and by arming them in advance with the positives and negatives of each method of construction, they can best choose what type of structure works for them.

Methods of Barn Construction

Block and Concrete

Pros:  Strong and long lasting construction, doesn't have to be finished to look good (but it is possible to finish).
Cons: More expensive because of the extra labor involved, difficult to insulate effectively, not very flexible in use, inability to modify the building once it's finished, more difficult to partition for different uses.

Steel Frame

Pros: Very durable, strong and long lasting construction, requires little maintenance.
Cons: Very expensive because of the foundation required, and because of the high price of structural steel, difficult to insulate effectively, pretty difficult to finish off the interior, or to partition for different uses.

​Conventional Framing

Pros: Gives you a continuous foundation, can have a basement, moderately easy to finish out the inside.
Cons: More expensive, due to more labor required, takes longer to complete, no real benefit in strength, requires more expensive excavation because of the continuous foundation.

​Post & Beam (Pole Barn)

Pros: Strong and long lasting construction, adaptable for many different uses, can add concrete foundation later. Simple to frame and add dry wall or shelves, etc. Fast construction times reduce labor costs. Adds value to your property, looks better with age.
​Cons: Cannot provide a basement, limited width - between columns.
