Good place for barn plans online

[JACC0811]

Anyone know a good source for barn plans? I am thinking about building a 40x60' barn in place of our old 32x40' barn that is falling apart shingle by shingle lol. I have looked at a bunch of sites, but none have the best info.

Mostly, I'm looking for a good source so I can estimate material cost. I have the Punch! software, but I am having issues with creating the gambrel roof with a loft.

Thanks!

This is my favorite.
All kinds of farm buildings and how they built them before gang nailed trusses.

Go to plans 6410 and 6411 for your BRACED RAFTER (GAMBREL ROOF) DESIGN
They are near the bottom of the list.

Some others are

Thanks for the info! I think I came across the truss plans before, but never saved the link.

Lots of colleges have plans online for free. Here one that starts back in the depression times with plans.
