The barn has tall rectangular panels with long tension braces, some of which are curved, and consists of three framed bays. There are a pair of large boarded doors positioned centrally and opposed to each other. Inside, the structure includes tie beam trusses with raking struts, as well as collar and tie-beam end trusses with queen struts. It has single purlins supported by wind braces, and each bay division contains a central post with long straight tension braces. The frame incorporates a significant amount of reused earlier timber.
