As we continue to focus on the monitor style buildings in Washington State, we wanted to share a recent project by Spane Buildings on Camano Island in Washington State. This post frame monitor style garage on Camano Island is absolutely stunning. Check out this video tour:

The center roof of a Monitor Barn is raised from the main roof, which is then is supported by the addition of knee walls.

Monitor Barns have a unique look that is extremely popular, but what are the advantages?

Advantages:

  • Unique look
  • While the pitch of the roof remains low, loft space becomes available
  • The center roof portion can be pre-assembled
  • Windows can be installed without the use of dormers
