American Barn Design Options Desktop American Barn Design Options Mobile

Often referred to as a heritage or traditional barn, an American barn is a highly versatile option when it comes to steel buildings. An American barn is characterised by a distinct raised drop on the central bay and typically has a gable roof on the central bay with symmetrical awnings. 

However, our flexible design parameters also allow for the option of a skillion roof with varying awning/lean-to widths on either side, with the option of verandah/open-style or enclosed areas.

American barns allow for the parking of tall vehicles like boats, caravans, trucks, and farm equipment, while allowing room for storage and hobbies under the lean-tos on either side.

The tall middle section provides usable space for a mezzanine floor, a clever way to maximise vertical space. This is also a great example of an American barn style shed you can live in.

A centre bay with adjoining lean-to’s offers a myriad of ways to create your dream space. Internal walls can divide sections for storage, hobbies or even a home office or sleep out.
