My son is really into toy farm animals and had been wanting a barn to keep them in. My wife & I were hunting around ebay when I saw a picture of a barn similar to this one and thought “I can do that!” :-)
Barn is made from 1/2” birch plywood with maple trim. Finished with Varathane stain on sides & top, plus a couple codes of water based poly. This has since become my son’s “toybox”. Definitely a favorite with the children.

I have seen plans for making toy barn playsets in a few different books and magazines, but none are as nice as this. I have thought about making something like this for my daughter for a while now. Excellent job.

Better than anything those large mass produce toy companies can make. Looks great.

I’m new to lumberjocks and in the process of building my grandson a toy barn. What are the dimensions of the barn? I’m primarily interested in the footprint dimensions and height at the peak.
Thanks

@jwill – Dimensions are 23”L x 18”W x 17”H (higher when the lid is open).
I made this before I knew anything and made the template out of paper. To this day I’m amazed it came together. I would use hardboard / cardboard as a template.
Good luck!
