Thanks for sharing the photo, also how you made it and why you chose the colors and design. It makes it more meaningful when we get the full story!

It is super great job. My bucket list item, someday when I am retired make one or 2 or so for barns around town where I live

I primed it well using exterior primer. I used exterior paint to paint it and put several coats of a sealant on the top. Hope this is helpful.

Thank you so much for sharing your techniques. That treated ply- and wood are devilishly heavy!

We have some barn quilts in the Tillamook area on the Oregon coast. Love finding them when we are passing through. Great job on yours! I am sure your dad loves it!
