Pole Barn Garages, Sheds, & Storage Buildings

Types of Residential Pole Barns

In the residential sector, homeowners are turning to post frame construction for:  

  1. Garages, sheds, & storage buildings
  2. Residences 

1. Pole Barn Garages, Sheds, & Storage Buildings

For the homeowner, there’s nothing like having enough storage space. Pole barns are a cost-effective option for those needing a little -- or a lot -- more room to keep items of all sizes protected and out of the elements. 

A utility building first and foremost, pole barns are ideal garages, sheds, and storage buildings. Built to last and easily customized, your client will have no problem creating a building that meets all their needs. 

Pole barns designs easily include key features, such as:

  • High ceilings
  • Overhead doors
  • Built-in storage areas

 

2. Pole Barn Homes

These days, people are getting pretty creative about their homes. 

Tiny houses, RVs, repurposed cargo vans, and even shipping containers are giving the traditional home a run for its money. Pole barn homes are a functional alternative-style option that doesn’t require sacrifices. 

 

Barndominiums 

Designed to look like a barn, this structure is anything but. Despite its distinct appearance, a barndominium boasts all the amenities of a traditional home. 

Shouse 

Taking pole barn homes in a more utilitarian direction, shouses are a combination of a shop and a house. Providing both traditional living space and an area for work, a shouse is ideal for the homeowner who wants to be close to work.

Building Residential Pole Barns With Barden Building Products

Barden simplifies and streamlines the pole barn sales and construction process.

Using SmartBuild Systems -- a web-based software available through Barden to our Independent Dealers -- a residential pole barn can be designed and quoted within a single client meeting -- there’s no lost time waiting on others to create renderings. Any adjustments to its layout are easily made. For pole barn homes, additional design work is required. 

Once a client signs off on their residential post frame building’s design, our manufacturing division, North American Truss,  begins making the pole barn's prefabricated components in our shop. Barden provides the other materials needed for the structure, such as:

  • Windows
  • Doors
  • Overhead doors
  • Metal sheathing
  • Support beams

In the meantime, site prep can begin with: 

  • Clearing vegetation 
  • Installing utility lines
  • Leveling and grading 

When all the components are delivered, construction immediately starts. It’s usually completed within a few weeks, depending on the complexity of the pole barn’s design.
