High side walls on the lower level can be insulated if desired. The loft area offers 7ft. 1in. of headroom at center with plenty of room for storage right to the outside walls. Available in 20ft., 24ft., 28ft., and 32ft. lengths the Richmond offers up to 1,024 sq. ft. of space. Choose the size that is appropriate for you particular needs. Entry doors and windows are not included with the Richmond. Stairs are also optionally purchased and can be installed on either of the corners opposite the barn doors. This allows you to purchase these items in the size, quantity and style of your choosing. During construction you'll install at the locations desired.
