Do you spot the V-cut on this Lexington Barndominium front porch? That's a birdsmouth notch—the secret to a super-strong porch. It has the angled heel cut and the flat seat cut. Why do we do it? Because not only is it pretty and seamless, it also makes the rafter sit perfectly flat and secure on the beam, which is how you distribute the whole roof's weight evenly. #cookevilletn #polebarns #BarndominiumLife #greenevilletn #barndominium #MiddleTennesseeLiving #TennesseeHomes #BarndoBuild #barnstyl
