The perfect size for a backyard barn!

A residential pole barn could be the best addition for your property. 

Often, the decision to put a barn in your backyard comes out of necessity. We build agricultural structures from scratch in no time for many clients who truly need the space . Be it a remote office at a construction site, a cold weather respite for your animals, or a storage facility for your crops or machinery, a barn is a must-have for any farm.

But as is the case for many homeowners, the decision to build a barn comes out of inspiration. Maybe you saw a magazine or television show, or drove by a barn on a country road, or maybe you just realized your house is bursting at its seams. People don’t often realize what’s at their fingertips with a post frame structure.

Here are just a few things you can achieve with a barn in your backyard:

Playroom/Rec Room — A child’s playroom can be nothing less than a disaster area within four walls of your home. By building a barn, you can eliminate clutter and stress inside by forcing your kids to head to the barn to have their fun without tearing apart the house. Plus, going outside is good for them, so it’s a win-win!

Extra Storage — If it’s difficult for you to part ways with the things you’ve accumulated over the years, a dumpster isn’t the only option. By building a sophisticated residential pole barn, you’re able to stow away some of your prized possessions to pull out for a rainy day or keep those valuables on proper display.

Relaxing Getaway — By creating a rustic space on your property, it’s easy to dip outside and watch the sunset with a drink in hand right from your residential pole barn. Many magazines and websites have highlighted beautiful designs for structures, so building a barn can also stroke your inner interior designer and give you a blank canvas to work on.

More Rooms — Raising a family in a barn is no longer an insult with modern technology. Our barns are versatile and can provide extra rooms for guests, a movie room for watching games and much more. Expand your interior by building in your backyard.

More Garage Space — Many people have attached garages to their house already, but often these aren't large enough to accommodate all the vehicles our families end up with. Extra garage space is always a bonus and it allows you to keep your vehicles in the best condition, out of the elements, and protected year-round.
