Oberlin Barn - Frankfort, MI Built like a barn should be, this Riverbend frame is a tribute to the barns of old. Located on a cherry farm in northern Michigan, this is no home. With a timber floor system covered with two layers of 1-1/2" decking, this building is designed to hold up against the wear brought on by farm equipment. At a time when many old timber barns are being converted to homes, we enjoyed the chance to put up a new one. View Photos>>>

Racine - Manchester, MI This frame was cut by hand and ment for a home here in Michigan. When plans changed the owner sold the frame on eBay to a family in West Virgina. The new owner hired Panel Wrights, an Insulspan dealer near the new site, to assemble the frame and install the new SIPs. The Michigan owner needed someone to disassemble, label and load the pieces onto a truck, so that is where Peninsula Panel became a part of the project. We have taken apart old frames in the past, but this was the first that had to be reassembled. View Photos>>>
