The Toy Shack

New Build, Meaford Ontario

Completed Summer 2026

Build: Blake Farrow Project Management
Design: Cutting Age Design
Timber Frame: Pine Ridge Timber Frame 

When a client asks for a modern timber frame barn to store their gear in style, we get to do a little barn raising. 

Built using traditional timber framing techniques, this custom barn combines classic craftsmanship with durable, low-maintenance materials. A metal roof and poured concrete floors provide long-term performance, while the warm exposed timber structure gives the building its character. 

Designed to support an active outdoor lifestyle, the barn includes generous space for boats, recreational equipment, tools, and all the big-kid toys that come with it. The result is a practical, hardworking structure that provides secure storage, flexible use, and a strong visual presence on the property.
