building our LEGACY A shared passion for post and beam architecture, providing industry-leading customer service, and producing kits made out of the highest quality materials available, is what brought our leadership team together years ago. We now get to spend each day helping customers bring the structure of their dreams to life, equipping them to build a legacy that will last for generations.

“We used Legacy for our first big build project. We interviewed a number of different post and beam companies and felt that Legacy made more of an effort to listen to our needs and understand our project. Our kit build went great and we will definitely be using them for our next project.”

~Greg from South Dakota
Here at Legacy, we custom build post and beam kits that are perfect for barns, living spaces, venues, pavilions, and more. If you stop by our shop, you’ll see fully dimensional timbers being cut to specific sizes/angles and built into bents that are pre-drilled, and labeled. They are then disassembled and packaged on a semi-truck for delivery to the customer’s site. One of our favorite parts about what we do is seeing customer’s ideas transform. We get to help them bring their post and beam project to life by drawing the plans, manufacturing the kit in our shop, and then helping them through the construction phase. That can mean connecting them to one of our network of builders or providing advice to the general contractor/builder of their choice. We love what we do day in and out, and look forward to helping you ‘Build your Legacy’.

BARNS with LIVING SPACE THE PERFECT MULTI-USE BUILDING Why have one, when you can have both? Barns with living spaces are one of our top sellers because they accommodate the varying needs of our customer’s lifestyles and family members. This style allows for safe keeping of equipment and/or a workshop on the main level, while the loft provides a uniquely charming area for guests, entertaining, or a permanent resident.

roofline & bent OPTIONS Each Legacy kit starts as a base model with the roofline being the focal design decision to be made up front. From there, the kits can be finished as a barn, living space, or venue depending on the upgrade and accessory options added.

GABLE- The Gable style is a traditional “A” frame that can allow continuous roofline lean-tos. You can choose a one-story or a one and a half story design. Lean-tos can be added to any side. RAISED CENTER- This style allows a full second-story in the loft of the center section. Similar to the Gable, it has a typical “A” frame, but with a broken roofline when lean-tos are added. Lean-tos can be added to any side. GAMBREL- This roofline has a double pitch break allowing an increased amount of space in the loft. You can choose a one, one and a half, or two-story design. Lean-tos can be added to any side.
14
Hammer Truss
SALT BOX- This style has an offset roofline that can allow lean-tos on any side. You can choose a one, one and a half, or two-story design. A typical one-and-a-half-story will give you a 4 ft knee wall on one side. COMBINATION- This option allows the look of two rooflines to be utilized. You can use any of the styles offered, although the Gable and Raised Center are the most common. If your desired roofline is not shown, please contact us to discuss how we can accommodate your needs.
BENEFITS OF A PRE-BUILT KIT REDUCED ON-SITE BUILDING TIME PRECISE CUTS, MADE BY POST & BEAM SPECIALISTS UTILIZE LOCAL BUILDERS KIT CONSTRUCTION is another building concept that has stood the test of time. It was most notably made famous by the Sears and Roebucks kits of the late 1800s and the basic principles have remained the same. The Legacy team works with you on the design phase, and then once plans are final, we do the leg work of cutting, drilling, labeling, and packaging the materials (the kit). Having the tools & know how to cut the frames is a specialized skill and taking care of this in our shop allows us to offer extreme precision. The kits are then sent on site for simplified reassembly by the building crew (of your choice, or we can connect you to our network of builders).

"Douglas Fir (DF) is often the standard against which all other framing species are measured. Its strength combined with a superior strength-to-weight ratio, high specific gravity (for excellent nail and metal truss plate-holding capability), excellent dimensional stability (giving "green" DF products the ability to season well in service), the moderate decay resistance of its heartwood, and documented excellent performance record against strong forces resulting from winds, storms and earthquakes, have given Douglas Fir its reputation. It is also tight knotted and close grained, adding the bonus of beauty to its structural capabilities." ~Western Wood Products Association

BENEFITS OF LEGACY POST & BEAM QUALITY We intentionally use Douglas fir timbers for our bent framing, the superior wood species for this type of construction. This seemingly simple commitment to the highest quality materials signifies our dedication to excellence every step of the way.
VALUE Value is measured not only by quality, but also affordability. We are able to deliver on both of these important factors by intentionally keeping overhead costs low and passing that savings on to customers
INTEGRITY We take pride in each and every kit we manufacture. By refusing to cut corners, we provide our customers with unrivaled satisfaction.

Step 1: IDEA It all starts with an idea. Whether it’s a sketch on a napkin, a concept found online, or you’ve got the blueprints in hand, our team is here to help turn your ideas and dreams into a reality. The initial discussions with your Legacy Post & Beam representative will start with mapping out your ideas, budget, and time frame. From there, we can outline the kit that meets your needs and get started on the ordering process.
2
Step 2: DESIGN Let the fun begin! Now that you've worked with your Legacy Post & Beam representative on the basics of your kit, we are ready to make it official and get started on the specifics. A 20% down payment is due at this time, which allows us to get started on CAD drawings. You will work closely with your Legacy Post & Beam Project Manager over the next few weeks to months (depending on the number of changes needed), and when everything is finalized, a 50% payment is due and the production phase begins.
3
Step 3: DELIVERY During this phase, we start handcrafting your kit in our shop. When it is close to completion, your project manager will work with you and your builder on scheduling a delivery date that meets your onsite construction needs. The materials of your kit will be packaged on a semi-truck and delivered to your job site. When the kit is delivered the remaining 30% payment is due.
4
Step 4: FINISHED PROJECT See the bents soar! During the construction phase, you will get watch your kit transform from packaged bents into a beautiful building. Your Legacy project manager will be available to answer questions from you or your builder all throughout the process.
